You seem to be making the point that the right should be allowed to be harmful just for the sake of having opposing views be readily available and seen by all.<br/><br/>Let&#39;s say this carried over to more obvious harms. For example, the ultra-far-right thinks they should actively kill anyone not born a cis white male. Supposed society had secret exceptions to the rules and they were allowed to do this because they believe it? You&#39;d allow it? 2026-08-21T01:35:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs26wrc2fpt3cggl9f3ej0a8l93tvv222zwm66vnez7vwhm7vgk4rczyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgx7lpmh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyjxlm9d6ajylfwlalq7mvcu5gnqyze9thse020xcujld876ger9gwyw27z'>nevent1q…w27z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Once again I emphasize this point:<br/><br/>conservative != far right<br/><br/>If you can&#39;t follow the rules to not willfully cause harm to other users, yes, you will find yourself getting blocked/banned. Mastodon simply doesn&#39;t make the unspoken exception for that that corporate social media platforms make. In other words, users are made safer here because the rules actually are rules.<br/><br/>Just being right-aligned doesn&#39;t mean you can&#39;t follow those simple rules. 2026-08-21T01:32:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyjxlm9d6ajylfwlalq7mvcu5gnqyze9thse020xcujld876ger9gzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg6q7ypj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqkn685hy3ya9eqw67yy0m09sh7ace3qkl0l6drhx2ads24tk0k4ccehcr3'>nevent1q…hcr3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You can be conservative and even if you feel like this makes them super evil or whatever and just leave them alone and mind your own business.<br/><br/>Well, let me give you an example. Take a look at how &#34;religious freedom&#34; is handled in America. Ostensibly it&#39;s supposed to mean &#34;anyone can believe what they want.&#34; In practice it is being *used* to mean &#34;*I* believe this is bad, so *you* can&#39;t do it.&#34; That&#39;s not religious freedom. That is taking one side and forcing it on others. 2026-08-21T01:31:17Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp4qwxaygaksxk8pvxlug73jcty7ej2tjraf4rmjts2wqcxqcs54qzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg4wkhh6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfze0fyu8gaqj6vu6hacs8ra9dsd7k3jlwkmu3ghz8mu04ssm4ayqk743tm'>nevent1q…43tm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, we&#39;ve come back around to what I said earlier. You&#39;re conflating &#34;conservative&#34; with the entire right.<br/><br/>If someone says &#34;I think governments should stay out of things like this&#34; people might disagree, but they&#39;re not going to get you banned.<br/><br/>The rules you just repeated agree with my earlier statement. Admins block the far right because, and I can&#39;t stress this enough: they break the rules to cause harm to others.<br/><br/>This platform just doesn&#39;t make an exception just for them. 2026-08-21T01:14:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0uycdc34pvhp6dyczkcv2sedf53nx56z3h6txqljg65dmtxqhzrczyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg8pew69 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2936ycvjajqgkvuy2fyzmh9xgpevq49nul02m0yj7tqnq0aw67vcxxfh0p'>nevent1q…fh0p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Is your goal in all this just to try to see if you can make me block you?<br/><br/>If you want, just say so.

This, the most famous and well known Mastodon server. I guarantee conservatives would be perfectly fine here on the largest, most well known server they probably heard of already. 2026-08-21T00:05:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw0pj5xxxumeh29nc87gkgtz6q5xwwhusq6slhw02v3ymx6jh88rgzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg2kp20q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw0qhteg4kqmhftvpmc3wyq9z6ktry2ucc7phjjnj8hq335t0uxrgz948lt'>nevent1q…48lt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Right, and this is where we have to agree to disagree.<br/><br/>*Most* admins err on the side of caution. If you pick a very narrow server that has specific user targets and etc, the admins might potentially be more extreme about blocks, but for the majority of servers if an admin has chosen to block an account, it isn&#39;t because the account is being generally a conservative. It&#39;s because they&#39;ve actually actively caused harm to people.<br/><br/>Heck, some admins don&#39;t do enough. 2026-08-21T00:03:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf3c0l7m6j42pgp8wzv4ytzaryz0h6mcsr9xlqqlkh7zwq3ukwksszyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg3qke4e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2d6s2xndu6klr5hkqf5ux4srw8a67u893qluscxp60kk4yvku59c0j0lx4'>nevent1q…0lx4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m not sure what you&#39;re saying. As I said, if an administrator blocks an account for the whole server, they have darned good reason. Perhaps you took what I said too literally? The decision isn&#39;t just &#34;oh, lots of reports? Ok, autoblock.&#34; We wouldn&#39;t need admins if it worked that way. If they get lots of reports they know to look at the account. If they block it at the server it&#39;s because they think it would be harmful to their users.<br/><br/>This is not a willy-nilly decision. 2026-08-20T23:42:37Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvgxllagjz2ympdv5hwf2ngrpsu77dr0cdkhkhk54axc3uaj8pllgzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgmetwns In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs80wvhvrg3jcmswkmkhax7vl4gdh2m79ddpq9wwwt9vl89t8cm79c3aszvr'>nevent1q…szvr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don&#39;t think you get it. If a server administrator makes the decision to block an account or a whole server it&#39;s because they&#39;ve received a lot of reports about said account or server that informs them that leaving them as-is is harmful to their users. It&#39;s not just a willy nilly, just done on a whim thing. Especially not blocking whole servers. That is a big decision.<br/><br/>If a person chooses to block an account because they don&#39;t like what that account says, that&#39;s their choice. 2026-08-20T23:35:33Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqejenu02rccwtml0gthl0aqws7cfq8x967hta8d6kwagxjflc73szyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg2gvu23 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqnzume0wx9nt7x70cejmphtanxmtqaawjrpnn5dqx2us3k6jkemqhgerxm'>nevent1q…erxm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well, I can&#39;t speak for everyone, but I&#39;m going to fundamentally disagree with your last claim for something that I *have* learned here and very much do not regret:<br/><br/>Our mental health matters.<br/><br/>Right now the world is really horrible. I&#39;m among the groups that will someday be rounded up and tortured or killed if this continues. The corporate way of thinking may say that we should give equal time, but the corporate way wrecks mental health.

In other words, it&#39;s not Mastodon itself that is the issue. There simply are more people here who are much farther on the left because it&#39;s so &#34;hard&#34; to get away from corporate platforms and tends to require a certain sort of mentality that frequently sees the harms of the right and gravitates towards the left instead.<br/><br/>Again, chicken and the egg thing. 2026-08-20T22:22:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2pnpk00m2zs2gm6qa5stfn3srkme35ugpfngkqnm886a3pyaqx7czyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgxv898h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0cdpns04syxvemaryf4vjzq36tq3h3p3tpcn7qws6l3xrc85lsvsheftv8'>nevent1q…ftv8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Coming to Mastodon means breaking out of the familiar. Many are afraid of it even. Corporate platforms are easy and comfortable. They&#39;re familiar and the algorithm means less effort on their part to get what they want out of it.<br/><br/>Thus it&#39;s primarily a certain sort of person who chooses to come here against the flow. The sort of people who come here are simply more likely to be minorities/etc targeted by the right. They have less tolerance for the right so are more likely to block. 2026-08-20T22:21:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9gvq6s3mzztzl8jhfnje3nalrwk7q0j5df27dcqtynz487hzasvqzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgjvpd45 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs853q76u2qpuf8hj42xx4c9cypz2a36kkr987m27nr6wn6ez7z60cdkj8fv'>nevent1q…j8fv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think the simple problem you&#39;re running into here is the plain and simple fact that most of the people who *choose* to be here are liberal. There just aren&#39;t *that* many conservatives here in the first place for the few here to follow. It&#39;s not Mastodon pushing conservatives out, it&#39;s them not coming in in the first place.<br/><br/>Remember, Mastodon doesn&#39;t force itself out there like the corporate platforms. People have to make an active choice to go outside the familiar. 2026-08-20T22:14:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxdfn26e8cykrwd3ghvz4pvl4g6y9tp2ythkpwmqx6wm63dqj8tlqzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg5w7yjs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgcv68gaslcyqfwguxtuht9au3xrrqlkwcv2a4p6puf9f30gjyl5c7mauvh'>nevent1q…auvh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Alternately you&#39;ve run into the chicken and the egg &#34;problem&#34; (well, it has a solution in technical fact, but we&#39;ll put that aside.) You want there to *already* be conservatives here to follow conservatives in large numbers so that conservatives can come here to be followed in large numbers.<br/><br/>Because without an algorithm to force them onto people&#39;s feeds, people pick who they follow and most here are liberal thus won&#39;t follow conservatives. 2026-08-20T22:06:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgcv68gaslcyqfwguxtuht9au3xrrqlkwcv2a4p6puf9f30gjyl5czyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg0jflzs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdwmjej9fep770yqqtxahzede7k05nz6ugh3rgacqt5jh8u67q9jc68tvj2'>nevent1q…tvj2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So wait, hold on, I have to come back to this despite myself now.<br/><br/>You want the &#34;benefits&#34; of algorithms forcing views onto people who don&#39;t want to see them to make unpopular people become popular anyway, but you don&#39;t want there to actually *be* algorithms? How does this even work?<br/><br/>Remember, on Mastodon, as we say, &#34;you are the algorithm.&#34; People follow who they want! The only way to do what you describe is an algorithm forcing them out onto feeds anyway... 2026-08-20T21:54:28Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs04gu8qyphz9za5gfcfvpwaw72d2zudkgxy3dwzjxd6nhg7rcdlrczyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcg59r9c2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszey2fu88g9mw0kvstxvpz9nz99mhfsk3dcgajqg6rmypa9yzgn8ggvutkh'>nevent1q…utkh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Seems you&#39;ve already made up your mind then. I don&#39;t follow conservatives as you might guess (why would I?) so all I could do is the same thing you can do: run a search. But you could already do this and have chosen not to because it doesn&#39;t really matter.<br/><br/>Yes we can grow without algorithms, but those like yourself who prefer them will never recognize it as such even as we do. I&#39;m not going to try to convince you this way is better.<br/><br/>All I can say at this point is have a good day. 2026-08-20T21:40:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvhnwsdxrd7aje7qs9du52e8xj7m2qavjsuvxpvc9p7crxnsxk45qzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgv8ev49 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8tud9k86hgr43609vc7xmgdymjxnkesea2ugace4e32r2jxjs6vswn0e6m'>nevent1q…0e6m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Then I have no idea what you&#39;re talking about.

Some I didn&#39;t even see a need to respond to.<br/><br/>I still think you&#39;re conflating &#34;supporting nazis&#34; with conservatism. One thing you may want to consider here is that many who chose Mastodon over the corporate platforms are within those groups that the far right wants to enslave or kill. Thus you will see a higher tendency to block, yes. 2026-08-20T21:22:19Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs94qww5c6dva09gfwehjy2ntd5gpx4rcc6jgjtd0truhd8snw4ltgzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgyqy78n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsryezgryvecvp80ayt5kxtq7j0skv6ulwphsl53tvuxkpfd4lrgaswllgpr'>nevent1q…lgpr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ok, I think I see the confusion here. You&#39;re looking for the talking heads aren&#39;t you? Actually, liberal talking heads aren&#39;t here either really. This has nothing to do with any of what you&#39;re describing. This is because corporate platforms provide the algorithms that help make them popular and the means through which they can gather money or followers. On Mastodon there is no algorithm to force their posts onto people&#39;s feeds. And that&#39;s by intent so won&#39;t change. 2026-08-20T21:18:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxwl7xuczm9ztdwv7vdv2a40zaue4tuuqxd3ha2a5j2frapdt04pgzyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgvluvlx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg9vlw45ydkc6hq7rtd7dgn55hw4uwf92ayh9kultfazjgrndystcqzul5n'>nevent1q…ul5n</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The best way I can think of to put this is I think you&#39;re conflating &#34;conservative&#34; with everyone on the right at all (as happens a lot here in the US at least.) But those on the right aren&#39;t conservative here anymore. They&#39;re far-right extremist zealots who stand behind white supremacy, forcing their chosen religion on others, etc etc. I want to be clear, *they* are the ones forcing themselves on others.

If you support the GOP, you&#39;re supporting taking away fundamental human rights from people you&#39;ve been told are &#34;lesser.&#34; That is not conservative — it&#39;s extremist.

The far right tendency to believe whatever they believe must be forced on others doesn&#39;t fly.

I can&#39;t say &#34;this person is absolutely not racist&#34; without knowing more, but I sure can&#39;t say &#34;this person is racist&#34; because they said &#34;we shouldn&#39;t trust that website.&#34;<br/><br/>In fact, you&#39;re the one that went there... 2025-12-28T22:49:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst63f9h7k8ajg6ezxsxpvpdu6me6zryh322n75wpnyhaa8p220e3czyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgjq5ruc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8na2d8645ly7ypccztf58pdqgzdkj5xqy8h9xc4uefh6hhtelnfs68mup2'>nevent1q…mup2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>(I&#39;m not talking about stuff like those who had to live in lung machines and etc, because they probably visited a few times and then forgot as they went on with their lives, but some stuff like the warped limbs would have been everyday visible for many.) 2025-12-20T02:09:15Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8na2d8645ly7ypccztf58pdqgzdkj5xqy8h9xc4uefh6hhtelnfszyrvdcm477ynx8lve8zgz9gf6t8f6dzygws60280h2r5ex4txu9pcgnkcuhe In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg2e0f6nlph3jlw256rxnhwal7zk7t70c7d2eekg9lua9uxmezjmq5kenzt'>nevent1q…enzt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I do wish the people who remember polio weren&#39;t dying of old age and had talked more about it.
