Am i right, that each server can have its own set of rules and that you could be canceled by your server admin if they think you promote what they understand as hatespeech etc?
I am quite happy how Twitter/X has changed for the better
Since Mastadon is a "federation" basically whats happening is that every server has their own rules, and the funny thing, if server you decide to join is "pro-freespeech" then other servers can just block trafic from and to it.
A ton of bullshit if you ask me, and one helluva waste time and effort. Creators of mastadon actually looked at Twitter, saw a burning dumpster and decided "yeah we are going to copy every aspect of this". Same for blusky.
I have a feeling those felas have like zero clue, they keey creating tumbler No2, No3, No4, How many Tumblers can we have? when will it stop.

I like X so far. It is the most "free" platform as far as the local laws allow. But sure, things could change and it is completely centralised.
so after the liberals and bots left twitter they created a new echo chamber.

Twitter under Elon is holding its place as a rather free-speech
platform, not your common *Chan but still pretty good.
of people's posts?
I want a social network that shows a chronological list of posts
from people I choose to follow. Is that so hard?
Well, a network of islands and each island with its own rules. That seems to be mastodon.

My understanding is that the guys behind Mastodon created it because
they regarded Tweeter as too permissive regarding "nazies" back
then, therefore they though an alternative platform was needed.

It is intended to work as a federation, like you described, but the software guys behind it really, really want their political opponents
out of the race, so there is a lot of preasure in the software stack itself in order to root uncensored servers out. This is the reason why
you see so many Mastodont clients include hardcoded lists of servers
they are not programmed to interact with, for example.
How does the software root uncensored servers out, exactly?
I've *never* seen a Mastodon client that had a hardcoded list. I'bve
played with several under Android, and there's a field to specify the
user name with server name in there, not a pull-down or otherwise
limited list.

I'm not a professional developer or anything, but I'm going to go out
on a limb and say:
if (defined_server == "server.i.dont.like") then {
defined_server = "";
}
Or something like that :)
Arelor wrote to poindexter FORTRAN <=-
That is how the software can censor instances. The clients ship with a list of domains that are not allowed so when you try to join any server
on the list you get a warning or you are prevented from joining through that client.
Or something like that :)
True, but if that's in the code the network uses, someone would surely notice that. If you're thinking of a local kill file, people certainly
have the right to self-censor.
