Well, it's been a real eye opener for me too! So many hostile attacks! And so many bigoted, reactionary posts from people who didn't actually read, or didn't fully read, what I said in the first place.

And all of them supporting "free speech", yet failing to recognize that I also have a right to free speech. 😂

All I said is that mastodon.social should not be allowing the publishing of pornography.

And see all the hate speech, personal attacks, foul language and insults that got me! 😎

Not to mention the disinformation: people who totally misquoted what I really said.

I didn't really feel anyone recognizing my right to free speech. 😂

Have you ever seen a series of posts so bigoted, stupid, and backtracked when called out, that you aren't even sure which one to point at? This is such an easy defederation situation (@staff you're usually really good about this stuff, what's up?). If this is what the admin is, the entire instance is unsalvageable.

I never talk about it, but I will here, because it matters. Sex work is real work, straight, gay, or otherwise.
