Mozilla: decentralised services are used by nazis to facilitate hate based violence

Hate based violence:

man I don’t know about you but actually 20,000 armed uniformed military sleeping in the us capitol for days is actually way scarier and more symbolically meaningful to me than some rioters

So, if people insist on comparisons to Wiemar:

Trump is not the early Nazis. Trump is the Communists.

A scary threat that drives people into the arms of the authoritarians on the other side.

Is Mastodon known to be inconsistent?

I just saw a post on my main timeline, boosted by an account, and when I clicked through to the booster, I didn't see it on his profile timeline.

Theory: Jack purged everyone to accelerate the shift to decentralized technology.

For Jack so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten company, that whoever migrates to mastodon should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Banks have made themselves an essential business. Employers use them to give employees their wages. They have savings and all sorts. It's like being banned from all the supermarkets in your local area... even though you need to eat.
"Who wants to host somewhere that will shut them down when the political tides change?" Indeed.
"This isn't limited to just social media. Now we have seen "alt right" voices being banned from banking with Chase and BoA. This is starting to infect the rest of big business America. What's to stop Master Card/Visa from banning you from using their products...for any reason? What's to stop Delta/American Airlines from banning you from flying their airline....for any reason?"

This precedent worries me. We've become increasingly reliant on monopolies, they could cut any of us off for any reason and it would reach a point where we'd become homeless or we can't function in society. In a way, this is indirect murder.
Gonna be really sad when I can’t just dismiss people when they ask a stupid question anymore with “it’s a free country”
