moderation clarification notice, 2023-05-27
eta 2023-05-27@23:18 CEST:
it seems that the account has been silently dropped from the instance.
considering that we learned about other objections re: newsie.social instance management, and that there was no communication from the admins, we're going to keep the instance silenced.
apparently newsie.social moderators decided that allowing the bloody newsmax – of all possible organizations – onto their instance is perfectly acceptable.
as a consequence, we're
- suspending the @NEWSMAX@newsie.social on circumstances,
- rejecting media from newsie.social on circumstances indefinitely,
- rejecting any abuse reports from newsie.social on circumstances indefinitely,
- limiting the newsie.social site indefinitely – at the very least until the situation gets rectified.
there's allowing different viewpoints, and there's inviting a white supremacist propaganda outlet into our spaces, and we're not going to have the latter.
cc: @jeff, who should really have known better than to allow fascist networks there.
