We appreciate that certain politicians have recently admitted their naivete in entrusting the voices of their governments to corporate / for-profit social media.
To these politicians, we say: joinmastodon.org/hosting

in reply to Mastodon • • •even better: They should host their own. Our governments should be proficient in managing public IT infrastructure. The knowledge should be internal, not external.
You’re making sense, but there’s s better brighter goal further along the road from here, brother.

in reply to Mastodon • • •One thing that politicians should really consider is creating their own instance to give them complete control of their messaging and build their public image.
Think about the benefit that Trump has gained from Truth Social.
By posting things on their own social media site they can draw interest from the media to their posts in a way that is superior to just riding other platforms.

in reply to Mastodon • • •how quickly would their instance be muted on mastodon.social after they come out in defense of the Palestinian people against the genocide perpetrated by Netanyahu's government?

in reply to Oblomov • • •@oblomov I am pro-Israel and the war on Hamas. Yes, I am a Christian. I know my views are not popular with many folks on the Fediverse, but I'm not fishing for followers.
That being said, I agree with @Mastodon that the Fediverse is a far more suitable place for government social media (especially self-hosted instances). I also agree with you @oblomov, that mainstream instances will silence people. #SelfHost people!

in reply to Mastodon • • •but don't join mastodon-social or mstdn-social if you want to express anti-genocide views
they have a history of crushing anti-genocide voices, deleting posts, silencing accounts, using false reasons to censor criticism of Israel, even cancelling them without notice or explanation - and ignoring GDPR requests

in reply to Tariq • • •so basically you’re bragging about the initiative that @aral and @joynewacc have set up (with support from me behind the lines), putting our own names and surnames next to it, taking all the risks and all the threats on ourselves, while repeatedly shielding anonymous ultra-Zionist accounts that reported for antisemitism even AI-generated caricatures, and kept throwing mud on Gaza Verified, to the point of calling even the victims of a genocide that you were supposed to protect on your own instance scammers or antisemitic (sample 1, sample 2) for daring to compare the death that Israel brought upon them to the one that the Nazis brought upon Jews?
And then you muted MY profile instead of theirs, despite the widespread condemnation against those vile attacks, and despite me being actually one of the guys working on Gaza Verified?
Can you please confirm that the reports from those pro-genocide trolls constituted the grounds for your actions against my account?
You know right that because of your absolute incompetence at moderating a platform that is trying to handle an already delicate humanitarian initiative you have ended up with newly registered users from Gaza on your instance that were crying for help, even tagged me, and they couldn’t see my replies because they weren’t following me?
You know right that you may have to cut some lifelines there, because both Aral and Joy were busy in these days and couldn’t respond to all the requests?
You know right that you’ve silenced the guy who set up the Gaza archive for this initiative, to make sure that all of the content uploaded by the verified accounts is persisted even if some admins decide to kick them out, and the guy who uncovered some Gaza scams on your instance in July whose claims you were too lazy to verify?
And then you also have the guts of bragging about OUR initiative despite the damage you’re doing to it, just because you’re responding to a couple of questions from Aral?
How much credibility do you think you have left?
How much are you going to lie in our own face while taking undeserved credit and silencing the voices trying to save as many lives as possible?
p.s. It’d be great if someone could take a screenshot or a quote of this post and paste it to @staff. Those guys have silenced my account and they’re even ignoring emails from me and Aral, so I’m not sure if they can even see what I write to them.

in reply to Mastodon • • •yeah, really, Who Made Who, Who Owns Who, I don't think we have a party in action that wants to rattle ALL the knuckleheads, on BOTH sides, and put THEM in a cage, so the rest of the people on earth can get back to taking a hard stab at enjoying a life on THIS planet. WTAF. They're so outnumbered, I don't understand.
