@dickturpin @lnxw48a1 I'm not sure how you get from "moderating a voluntary safelist on a minor federated social network" to "absolute power", but you do you.

People are not perfect, I agree, which is why we help each other, and strive for better procedures, protocols, and a better culture, but honestly I think that it's quite possible to have reasonable moderation standards without everything turning into Nazi Germany. In particular, freedom of speech absolutism is not a prerequisite for a free society, especially not in private and voluntary associations like the fediverse.

As for the specifics actions you're alluding to, I'm afraid I don't have any input, which was why my initial question was if the disagreement amounted to "opinions" or "denial of rights", as an example.
