Meanwhile, I can see this very Mastadon post with no login just fine.

And the interface is not trying to assault me. It loads quick.

...Seems like a better product than Twitter for a public feed.

On Mastodon simply discussing certain topics will get you banned, and instances that don't ban those users get defederated.

I prefer Twitter in the sense that it's more laissez faire in terms of what kinds of speech get you banned.

When someone says, "certain topics will get you banned" that doesn't make me judge the platform, that makes me judge the person.

People are going to assume it's something you don't want to name, if you won't name it.

Come on, in a lot coastal discourse it is practically taboo to mention vanilla opinions that are held by 70+% of the population.

Mastodon instances are largely moderated by people from the other 30%. You are free to judge if you want. But don't pretend this is a violation of publicly accepted morals in the 1st world.

Ooh, ooh, ooh? Like what kind of "vanilla opinion?"

Trans people in sports? Wanting strong borders? Disagreeing with stuff like drag reading sessions?

Not American or white or whatever, just stating the obviously less widely supported stuff that may sound uncontroversial to the more terminally online.

What does this mean? Drag queens shouldn't be allowed to read? Like what concrete policy are you saying they can't propose which isn't obviously overreach?
