I see growing number of signals about radical people being rapidly and forcibly deplatformed (one could say "cancelled") by mainstream. Here is a prominent case:
meansworkwear.com/blogs/news/w…

James' store was shut down. Social media accounts banned. Payment processors pulled out, banks refused to work with him.

Now, isn't fediverse a place, where such persons could (and should) be welcome? With a little bit of communal knowledge and support we can start finding instances, where those prosecuted by the Trump mafia state could publish in peace, beyond #MuskRats' ability to reach them (at least easily).

These are people the fediverse is invented for, aren't they.
Let's start from listing (or creating) some instances willing and able to help. Any suggestions?

@micchiato #deplatforming ≠ #censorship, even tho it may have indistinguishable consequences...

Apropos #Wissenschaftsfreiheit: Behalten #Forschende wichtige Ergebnisse für sich, weil sie Angst haben, Opfer von #CancelCulture und #Deplatforming zu werden? Für Demokratieforscher Richard Traunmüller ist diese Gefahr real. Mario Rembold sprach mit ihm: https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3079.php

What other surveillance capital platforms are in my life that I should shift off of? I guess my research group #slack needs to switch to #mattermost, which requires me re-learning how to run a server... #deplatforming #replatforming

Two months ago, I killed my #Spotify account and have been rebuilding my listening practices around #bandcamp, which pays musicians way more by encouraging you to buy tracks. #deplatforming

This week, I deactivated my #twitter #x account. I joined in 2006, y'all, before it was a site -- when it was a service for tweeting texts from your cell phone to your followers' phones. (Would you believe Twitter came out of World Trade Organization protest sms coordination tools? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TXTMob) #deplatforming

Google Docs. Gebruikte ik al nauwelijks. De paar bestanden die er stonden verwijderd.

Common complaint but wow is it fun having dude bros who just stumbled onto my #topFree #activism videos for the first time insist I'm ?Lying? When I say my stuff is constantly getting #banned and #censored, always and only for the heinous unforgivable sin of "female-looking nips"

Eine gute Nachricht: gegen #Rechtsextremismus hilft auch Einschränkungen der Reichweite. Nur leider haben das öffentlich rechtliche Medien (#ÖRR) noch immer nicht verstanden.

Hammers and Kneecaps

It’s one thing to say “I make hammers, and can’t be responsible for the fact that some people use them to break people’s kneecaps.”

It’s another thing to hand out free hammers to the kneecap-breakers, or pay them to use your hammers instead of someone else’s, or hire them as spokespeople, or use their testimonials to promote your business. “So-and-So’s hammer is the best for breaking kneecaps! And you can quote me on that!”

Under those circumstances, claiming to be opposed to kneecap-breaking wears a bit thin.

Related: I canceled my paid subscriptions to newsletters on Substack, leaving this note (minus the links) on each:

I’m disappointed in Substack’s response to the Substackers Against Nazis letter. I’ll find some other way to support the author without using Substack as a middleman.

Update: I should point out that this was a last-straw situation, as the writing was already on the wall in April when the CEO repeatedly refused to answer an interviewer who asked point blank if they’d allow overt racism on Substack Notes.

Sigh. Yet another failure to replicate behavior in #scicomm. Remember backfiring?

"Systemic interventions, such as content moderation, virality circuit breakers, #deplatforming or changing online engagement metrics towards the accuracy of information, may be better at curbing climate #disinformation. However, systemic actions are enforceable only by the same platforms that might be incentivized to let climate disinformation spread"

Libertarians have failed to convince conservatives of the truth about "Tyranny Inc."? Perhaps; but why hitch our wagons to the Right at all? Why should conservatives take censorship as "debunking" the free market in any case?

Reasonable video essay on #Deplatforming and #FreedomOfSpeech

https://youtu.be/MsvvFEVV-eA

I just discovered The Morbid Zoo, she makes video essays about film and culture. She has a couple of essays that argue for and against #deplatforming. I think she made some good points. #Twitter #SocialMedia
