About

newsie.social is a Mastodon instance. Although we have had positive interactions with some of its users, the admin (@jeff) apparently needed some education about the problem with "free speech" in fedi moderation. The problematic account has apparently been removed as of 2023-01-21 afternoon.

Limiting newsie.social for not taking action on a transphobic user, and will move to suspension if their inaction persists.

What is it about "journalism" instances that make them incapable of enforcing their own rules against transphobia?

Because limiting speech you don't like or disagree with is limiting legitimate public discourse. If it's respectful and in good faith.

There were many good replies to Jeff's comment.
