LOL. Maybe Cassandra is not the best reference. I'm open to others.

She "refused to keep her part of the bargain" is not good for anyone's reputation. Maybe she had legit reasons?

She "was looked upon [...] as insane" and "synonymous the prophet of doom" much like most conspiracy theorists - so that fits.

She "was confined" or prison is the totalitarian's step after censorship - and lockdown is already a kind of confinement.

Bonus: Includes one of the first false flags.

Not too bad with 4/5.

Or maybe it's separate sites that have strong cross-linking abilities?

This.

Thanks for pointing this out. I should include some definitions in the sidebox.

Centralized, Decentralized (Federated), & Distributed Networks

None of these are great upon my first look:
https://DuckDuckGo.com/?q=decentralized+federation
https://Medium.com/decentralized-web/decentralized-social-networks-e5a7a2603f53
https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralization

Here's my understanding:

1) There is a single centralized Reddit site. Everyone logs onto that.

2) There are many decentralized federated Mastodon sites. People may log onto any of them that are cooperating with each other sharing content and your profile that you registered at one of them. (My alias is registered at the Fosstodon.org instance. It seems there's a echo chamber cleft among the Mastodon federated sites: SJWs vs everyone else ("Nazis") without overlap. Wrongthink is called out and shared among their "trusted" networks, demonizing and exiling all "badly moderated" instances.)

3) Distributed networks like Aether and qBittorrent have no sites at all - instead using stand-alone clients / apps / programs. (Some distributed apps run in the background accessed via web browser GUIs and/or addons - but some are standalone without browser access.)

We only list communities that are committed to active moderation against racism, sexism and transphobia.

I will be avoiding that place like the plague. Is there anything about it at all that isn't anti-freedom, and anti-human?

Where is that quoted from?

If that is Lemmy there is the Lenny fork without the auto-censored terms.

I also won't support nor tolerate censorship.

Read the rules section on that Fosstodon.org site. It appears to be run by far leftists, who specifically say there is no free speech allowed, and that both sites and users will be censored.

https://hub.fosstodon.org/coc/

They have a whole list of Fosstodon sites, like gab and kiwifarms, that they've censored and blocked from access.

Ah. That's very disappointing but not surprising. I've not delved into Mastodon much. I don't know much about it except it's decentralized and federated.

Almost makes me want to make FLOSStodon.org without censorship - but there are too many problems with that. Not only would it attract the trolls and illegal content but I don't want to monitor and moderate a bunch of low effort shit. I have better things to do.

On the other hand, maybe the section of FLOSStodon they've blocked has more of the free speech and lack of censorship they abhor? Agreed on the better things to do, though.

I meant that FOSS is them. If I were to, I'd make a FLOSS version that's almost the same but with extra Libre. Enough to confuse some and maybe piss them off. Pissing them off doesn't change minds nor help in the ideology war, so meh. At best I could hope they'd read it and change their minds.
