I'm seriously considering defederating from #fosstodon at this point. I'm applying a limit for now, which means if you're on that instance, I may not see you.
Mike Stone (effectively) doubles down on moderation principles based on keyword, not context. Additionally, he confirms limiting accounts without notification is part of the policy, effectively shadowbanning accounts.

Between @downey and @aral getting issues with #fosstodon, is it too much to speculate that they're preparing to go along with #Threads moderation rules?Any other, similar experiences? @doot and @nightjar had issues before, Someone got banned for calling Rowling a TERF, me for calling a AfD-adjacent person a Nazi (that was years ago).
Thanks to feedback, I'm unsure if this is new - which would be good, it could just be the same old issues. Can we collectively watch this?
