If I understand it right, the moderator of the mastodon.world instance has blocked several posts by Hasnain Kazim, as Kazim reported yesterday on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/661473263/posts/10163657720033264/
Kazim is a quite famous and successful book author in Germany and something between left, conservative and liberal. He was journalist for the most important German weekly news magazine Spiegel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasnain_Kazim?wprov=sfla1
Canceling his posts is stupid and certainly completely exaggerated. To me from the external perspective it seems that the moderator is abusing his power. He is damaging free and respectful discussion. Furthermore, when a famous person like Kazim reports those experiences to his broad audience, who do not understand the functioning of the fediverse, the moderator also damages Mastodon in general significantly, it seems to me.
What do you think about this case ?
Yep, this time it just showed up the arabic part of society that is not compatible with human rights and democracy. I am pretty sure had OOP posted about neonazis celebrating, that their account would still be up and available.
The German left has a very serious issue: they cannot fathom the idea that Jews might be committing genocide, the same as they cannot believe that the ISIS-fraction is celebrating when LGBT people are hurt and killed.
There really has to be change in the german left: they have to acknowledge that there are people inside of the minorities they are usually protecting from german neonazis that are just as bad as the neonazis they are defending against. I see movement in the youth which does not accept Israels “antisemitism”-bait, but they still have to start acknowledging the hardcore islamist sharia bastards that are no better than the skinheads they are used to fighting.
