Oh, nice, looks like the Fosstodon instance (@fosstodon) blocked my profile.https://fosstodon.org/@JoshStrobl/110688888195898758I guess it tells you more about “FOSS”todon than anything else that they chose to block a human rights activist/privacy advocate who wakes up and works at a not-for-profit on free and open software every day. Maybe if I were to work at Google and hack on a hobby open source project in the evenings I’d be acceptable?*smh*

So if you’re on Fosstodon and you thought you were following me, you’re not. Fosstodon has silenced my account.You might be able to follow if you manually try following again.Or maybe consider switching to a FOSS server that doesn‘t silence FOSS developers.(Please boost if you haven’t been silenced by Fosstodon also so folks there might see. Thanks.)#fosstodon #censorship #fediverse #mastodon #freeSoftware #openSource #privacy #SmallTech #SmallWeb

@aral huh that's an odd thing to do. Also, Limiting removes follows? Thought it would basicly just block your content from their fed tl.

@aral So what did you say (write) to get yourself placed on the naughty step?

@aral @73ms yeah, I thought the whole point of silencing was that it allows follows, but keeps posts off the public timelines so people can’t come across them by accident.

@aral @fosstodon > a human rights activist/privacy advocate who wakes up and works at a not-for-profit on free and open software every dayYou can be all those things and still be an irritating asshole (hypothetically.)

Note: edited to make it clear that I was silenced not suspended. Apparently that doesn’t make people unfollow you but it means that your posts do not show up in people’s timelines if they’re boosted there, etc.So, basically, folks on Fosstodon are not made to unfollow me but I’m censored there.

@aral I got banned by Fosstodon. Best thing that happened to me as it made me look for instances that weren't as censorship heavy.

@aral @fosstodon Maybe no one told the Fosstodon admins that because you're a human rights activist/privacy advocate who wakes up and works at a not-for-profit on free and open software every day that their rules just don't apply to you and you can say and do whatever you like and they can't ever do anything or risk your ire?

@IncredulousMike @fosstodon Oh, it’s their server; they can do whatever they like.But others are also free to interpret those actions as they see fit and decide whether or not they want to be governed by those rules and how they are applied.Actions having consequences applies both ways.

@aral Well, for the record, this is what it looks like to me. Ever seen one of those videos with a tired looking highway patrol officer giving a speeding ticket to someone screaming, "Don't you know who I am??!?" That's this in a nutshell.
