Post · Bonfire social

If you know people on social.cologne who aren’t Zionists/genocide supporters please let them know that they cannot see posts by me and others who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people as our instances and accounts are blocked by their Zionist/pro-genocide server.

I can only assume Zionist/pro-genocide servers will not be allowed according to mastodon.social’s new server covenant and suggested as safe spaces to newcomers to the fediverse (including Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid) but it would be good to have official confirmation of this.

It’s time for people (and mastodon servers) to be unapologetically unambiguous about which side of history they stand on.

@aral is there a post that happened to be reported and blocked you? Have they blocked anything else? Did it come more or less out of the blue? Or did you receive any messages from their admins?

As a start, I think you are right that support of genocides and genocide denial can be taken up as clear principles that would fit into existing server rules.
