When I first got onto social media, I imagined it would be a space where I would speak my mind without inhibition.
in fact, I have not engaged in that uninhibited expression. Some of those inhibitions might well be salutary; I have opinions about all sorts of topics on which I am not that well informed, and on some topics on which I am reasonably well informed, the expression of my opinions might well not contribute to thoughtful discussion but just cause hurt and confusion instead.
On the other hand, I wonder if some of my inhibitions amount to little more than cowardice on my part.
Yet again, I've also wondered whether I should have exercised more restraint in some of my posting. Will I wince with shame or at least embarrassment as I look back at my posting history?
On one topic I do not regret taking a stance which I believe is unpopular on Mastodon, or at least unpopular amongst the Mastodon accounts I see - Israel/ Palestine.
Mastodon seems to me to be largely progressive space. Unfortunately, many here seem to believe that progressive political thinking implies a denial of the right of Israel to exist, that is in antizionism. Sometimes this denial is expressed in ugly and intemperate terms.
I believe that Israel has a right to exist, living alongside an independent Palestine. I believe in the two-state solution to this long and painful conflict. A refusal on the part of progressives to recognize Israel's right to exist has been one amongst many obstacles to peace in the region.
Consequently, I will not be silent about this issue, however difficult the odious policies and pronouncements of the current Israeli government make it for the two-state solution to get a hearing amongst progressives, and however many progressives here think I should be ostracized on account of my Zionist convictions .

RE: https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz/116025421547573109
The #Fediverse, and #Mastodon in particular, showcases what social media can be when designed for democratic dialogue rather than profit.
It’s open source, so its rules and algorithms are transparent and accountable.
No single company owns it, so no billionaire can unilaterally shape speech.
It’s also interoperable, meaning people can move freely instead of being trapped in walled gardens.
Because it doesn't depend on outrage for ad revenue, it fosters healthier, more civil conversations.
#Mastodon Social.Cologne bekommt anscheinend mehr Aufmerksamkeit (irgendwie)
Das freut mich! :)

Aufgrund der aktuellen Entwicklungen rund um #Twitter/
#X und neuer Berichte, die die Lage aus meiner Sicht weiter zugespitzt haben, habe ich meine Entscheidung noch einmal geprüft.
Nach reiflicher Gewissensabwägung kann ich meine Präsenz auf diesem Netzwerk derzeit nicht mehr verantworten.
Ich verlagere meine Aktivitäten daher schrittweise zu #Mastodon.
Für Hinweise, Erfahrungen und Ratschläge bin ich dort weiterhin offen.
Thematisch wird es u. a. gehen um:
#Kirche & #Soziales · #Fußball · #Music (#Kpop & #Country) · #Literatur & #AnalogesSchreiben · #Apple & #Linux https://katholisch.social/@BroWoelfie/113560572047576653

got a weird wave of bot replies/mentions overnight but they didn't actually mention me. perhaps they were DMs or the #mastodon equivalent thereof?
I'm unsure but the block button works great as usual.
