Oh gee, 9 followers lurking since '22 has opinions? GTFOH. Heads up everybody! I've taken the bait a few times. Trolls are out in force trying to smear Graham Platner. Or just divide Democrats. God, I can't believe I fell for this shit. Again. #uspol #GrahamPlatner #Fediblock

Mastodon is right to block @ fabio @ manganiello.online
1) They have DOX`ed a few people in the past.
2) They are associated with a scam group.
3) They have passively encouraged others to target people.
4) When their last domain was blacklisted, they created a new domain.
Think about that.
They didn't just make a new account, but whole new domains. That takes money, time, and effort just to troll and harass people.
That's like Elon Musk trying to buy his way in, because he doesn't like the results.
Anyone ranting claiming Mastodon Dot Social was wrong to block them should rethink the whole things, because the staff did the right thing.

@staff for sake of transparency, I’ll post some more insights about this decision here too.
Again, limitations against my account where caused by a report by @8124.
In a long post where I dismantled all of their ultra-Zionist propaganda, they decided to cherry-pick only the last words (as usual, without even bothering to respond to the other points, without tagging me, and without facing me directly):
After the tragedy of the Holocaust people like you had a choice: either become beacons of humanity, or become the reincarnation of the butchers that brought hate and death upon you. You’ve decided to become the latter, and you should be ready to face the consequences
FYI, these words were not mine, but a direct quote Paolo Consiglio - a very respected Italian intellectual and professor, whose post I shared just a couple of days ago.
I advise you to read the whole post, where he also mentions how Jewish history shaped his sensitivity and how sympathetic he is to the Jewish people. He mentions Primo Levi and Schindler’s List as his moral reference points.
Note: “you” in the quote above clearly refers to ultra-Zionists and genocide supporters like @8124. Not to the Jewish people. No reference to the Jewish people is actually present in the whole post. So if you interpret it as an accusation against all Jewish people then I must automatically assume that you are in bad faith, and simply looking for a reason to ostracize anti-Zionist voices.
If I had called Russian ultra-nationalists that support the war in Ukraine “butchers who should face the consequences of their actions” would you also have limited my account? Or does it apply only to Israel?
If Paolo Consiglio had posted that very same text on mastodon.social, would you have banned him too?
Just like in another case @8124 cherry-picked words from Bertrand Russell’s famous last letter about the Palestinian cause that I included in one of my posts (“What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and to invoke the horrors of the past to justify those of the present is gross hypocrisy“) to frame me: had Russell, a Nobel Prize and one of the most influential intellectuals of the 20th century, been alive today and posted that letter on mastodon.social, would you have banned him too?
Your hypocrisy is astounding. Your decision is baseless, and you know it. You literally pick all the decontextualized bullshit that that motherfucker posts and turn it into moderation decisions - even if it’s quotes from other very respected intellectuals.
You are clueless of how to moderate a large social network instance. You are muscular against anti-genocide voices and pavid towards genocide apologists. You can’t even recognize academic references. You prefer to listen to a scumbag whose sole purpose is to deny genocide, harass genocide victims and discredit humanitarian initiatives, and who instead of keeping their decisions grounded in academic consensus keeps mentioning quotes from a Kahanist text as it was the apex of academic consensus. You ignore that dozens if not hundreds of accounts have reported @8124, that nobody even interacts with that person, and everyone has shown solidarity to me instead.
Aral, of course, has the last word on this. But let me tell you that from my side mastodon.social is dead. mastodon.social is as bad as babka.social and even worse (even babka.social apparently suspended @8124 because too extreme). Waiting for Aral’s point on this issue, but from my side I’ll start helping the gaza-verified contacts that I’m most close with to move away from the main instance.
You clearly can’t protect them from harassment. You clearly prefer to platform Kahanist voices rather than those who oppose them, and you made it very clear that you will tolerate @8124 publicly threatening me to get me fired rather than me calling genocide apologists accountable.
I repeat: mastodon.social is the scum of the Internet, and even a reversal of their abhorrent decision is unlikely to change my stance.

Hey folks,
If you have the opportunity, I would kindly suggest to move off of mastodon.social.
It's one of the biggest, if not still the biggest instance and has been showing problematic activity not just now, but over the years.
That means being blocked by that instance, or trying to block that instance results in losing contact with a lot of people.
Which happened to @fabio just recently for the second time by being blocked. And I don't think any other instance to speak of did that.
The NPO behind it is also registered in Germany.
- a country which has the "Staatsräson" since 2008 of "The security of Israel is unnegotiable", "Our unconditional solidarity with Israel has never been under question for me. My personal relationship with Israel is unconditionally good." (then chancellor Angela Merkel)
Of course not a word about the security of Palestine or Palestinians.
- The country where now the Chancellor echoed words and the sentiment of former Nazi head propagandist Goebbels, by talking of migrants as an issue for the city image, for which he does not apologize. He also does not admit to a genocide being committed by Israel, even when Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the UN and genocide experts have identified and declared it as such.
- A country where a recent study of hundreds of TV and Newspaper reports for 2025 has shown that 95% of criminal suspects they reported on were foreigners, even though they only make up 34.3% of the actual criminal suspects.
Germany is deeply racist and pro-Israel.
- There was a strong push, which I did not follow of how successful it was, of defining antisemitism to put under suspicion of it any criticism of Israel, and stopping public funding for organisations that do not adhere to that definition.
I think it's naive to think that all this does not also put pressure on an influential project of public opinion such as mastodon.social.

@nemo @aral @staff unfortunately I can’t block them until all the Gaza folks are on safe instances.
But as soon as they are out I’ll proceed with the nuclear option.
They are the scum of the Internet, and they even take credit for initiatives that they don’t run themselves - and, on the contrary, they ostracize.
#Fediblock against mastodon.social as soon as all Gaza accounts are safe.
