This suspension action is also unfortunate because we are excited about the possibilities the federated vision of the internet offers, especially for independent media like us.It was that excitement that led us to go ahead and launch our own Mastodon server. We are slowly working to bring all of our staff onto the platform. You can already follow our Palestine News Director, Yumna Patel, here: @yumna

@Gargron What are our options here? We are a well-established journalism publication. Recent articles we've published may have touched a nerve for some, but that does not warrant a suspension.

This is the email we sent to the appeal address at mastodon.social.- -Hello Mastodon.social moderators,I am writing to appeal the suspension action you took on our account, @mondoweiss.We are a well-established independent, nonprofit journalism publication focusing on Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. and international politics. We have been publishing for over 12 years. We are one of the few – and possibly only – independent news outlet in the world with a staffed bureau in Palestine.

This action is especially upsetting when we have a staff member, our Gaza Correspondent Tareq Hajjaj, under immediate threat of death from the indiscriminate Israeli bombing of Gaza.Tareq and his family have already relocated to the south of Gaza. He learned just two days ago that his house in the north was destroyed. He has already lost several members of his extended family in this violence.Yet he continues to provide on-the-ground reporting for us.

Since the beginning of this horrible violence in Gaza and Israel, we have received 10 reports from different Mastodon servers. Only 1 was from mastodon.social.It read, "Promoting the violent attacks of a terrorist organization". The report listed two posts on our Mastodon account, both of which linked to a reported news story about the events unfolding on October 7.It was clearly inaccurate.

(cont)With the outbreak of violence in Gaza and Israel, we have published some articles that may have touched a nerve for some, but that does not warrant a suspension. All of our news articles are based on high-quality journalism. We also publish a wide spectrum of voices in our opinion pieces. Part of our mission is to lift up those voices that are typically marginalized in the context of this conflict.

(cont)What are our options to have this suspension lifted? We are not going to delete posts made to our profile that contain reported news items. People are free to disagree with the news we report, but it is based on gathered information and crafted through an editorial process.Thank you for your prompt attention to this.

We have been exploring launching a Peertube server, and even adding ActivityPub directly to our website.

Mastodon.social is not a platform conducive to free and independent journalism, especially with respect to anything that touches on the antiwar movement. It’s extremely unlikely that they will reply to your appeal, but in the event that they do revive your account I advise you to take that opportunity to do nothing more than backup your data and migrate your existing followers to your new account immediately. https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/
