A) I didn't know that Mastodon HAS a CEO. Can't say that I like the idea.

B) I've never liked the concept of "hate speech". Once any form of speech can be categorized as censorable, whoever has the power to make that decision has dangerous power. The concept of hate speech is antithetical to the concept of free speech.

C) Facebook's fact checkers were right wing organizations. How does getting rid of them "move Facebook to the right"? I don't believe that Zuckerberg is going to stop censoring speech, particularly anti-billionaire speech, but replacing secretive, unaccountable censorship with community notes seems like a GOOD thing - certainly more democratic than otherwise.

But of course, I'm a free speech absolutist. Which apparently makes me the villain of the century.

@Quasit While I'm happy to put my fingers in my ears to block out stuff I don't want to read I wouldn't ever advocate for censorship, though Mr. Blobby should be erased from history.
