Our team has spent hours debating where we draw the line on Palestine/Israel. We consider the context and language in each post reported. And we make a decision based on our rules, ethics, and context. We study other activity by the reported account. We take many things into consideration. Most of the time we get it right. Most of the time we’re spat upon and called out for being this or that.
4/5
The truth is, we care about people and we care about Mastodon. We believe in equality and kindness. And we believe in doing this with integrity. We volunteer our time to do this. We’re not monsters or fascists or terrorists. We don’t deserve the vile treatment we receive.
Just don’t be an asshole, and you won’t get moderated. And if you disagree with our rules/decisions, there are myriad other Mastodon instances. Even if they’re poorly moderated or not moderated at all.
