What is censorship then? It doesn’t need to be like “we removed this post”, it can just be making it harder for people to find information.
Sure, it’s their “right”, but since when was “I can do this” equivalent to “I should do this”? Apps can be different, but that doesn’t give them a free pass to lure them in with the premise of censorship resistant social media and not tell them the app does its own censoring behind the scenes. That’s called false advertising.
Considering they have spent their time in the incident trying to lie about how this isn’t shadowbanning, and haven’t publicly said anything why they have had done this that isn’t pure incompetence and laziness, I don’t think they are interested talking in person :)
