       It's nice to see some pushback against those who want to kick the #BBC out of the #fediverse. Who demand their instance be blocked. Who berate them for platforming voices that are insufficiently concerned about trans issues sometimes etc.Some of us have derisively called this attitude #woke for a while now. It's not empathy as much as #virtuesignaling that won't really help anyone. We think trying to remove some people/groups from the conversation is appropriately called #cancelculture. FYI.

       @wjmaggos This is the duel-edged sword of federated social media. Instead of one monolithic entity making decisions around who gets a voice, there are thousands of little entities making those decisions. Platforms like Reddit avoided this problem because Reddit was neutral and the subreddits had autonomous moderation teams. If someone didn’t like the moderation on a subreddit they could simply split, join a new subreddit and carry on with the same username. Not so w/ fediverse.

       @wjmaggos I do agree, with caveats !The Beeb were all over Twitter from fairly early on, and lent it lots of credibility when it wasn't much more than a toy.I dont have an issue with the politics of it, but they are publicly funded and they gave a big free ride to a private company  that created billionaires.  That's not right.

       @HarryLeRoy yes but I don't think that's healthy either. I think we will evolve a better culture here over time, when everybody eventually encounters people that are too strict and others who are too lenient.

       @wjmaggos I just wish there was better portability with usernames on here. That way, I could migrate to that Goldilocks server if I wasn’t happy with the moderation on my current server.
