@nelsonakis If you check our explore page you will see that a lot of pro-Palestinian accounts appear there regularly. We may however moderate accounts that share misinformation or use antisemitic tropes such as Holocaust inversion.

@Gargron This kind of moderation needs to be more transparent, in the same way that the "Moderated servers" list is presented with info on why an instance is limited/suspended. It would be nice to see on the profile page the reasoning behind such a decision, maybe even with the user's post(s) that triggered it.

dragonfrog, hungry waffle

@Gargron @nelsonakis
Have you looked into why the user was blocked, or are you inventing made up scenarios for why this might have been a reasonable decision?

thanks for addressing the issue Eugen

i understand the reasoning for opaque mod decisions

but when there is a large outcry it's prudent to identify the exact violation publicly

at the very least so others may avoid the snag on contentious topics

i recall a similar situation earlier this year where you spoke to the specifics of why a popular account was hidden

maybe new policy exists since then

so i ask mastodon.social mods:

allow Eugen to relay the specifics
