Your claim was

> b) the default Mastodon instance is pro-genocide

The 2) link you posted has no such content or hint of it (only vague accusations that some moderators might have done something without any details) Instead you block people for asking honest question, and refuse to give a straight answer.

mastodon.social might have problems, but labeling a whole group in this manner is the same thing that Netanyahu is doing; do better.

Please don't move the burden of proof.
I don't want to explain that not all users see all posts, blocks, policies, interpretations, know what terms to use, etc.

Also being pro-genocide is usually not labeled as “pro-genocide”. Bonus hardness points for dog whistles.

If it's a post or instance not being moderated, then show it so our reports may blot out the sun. Things like \#fediblock are there for a reason.

For me moving instances will be a high-effort process, so I need good »

« reasons. And I have seen too many allegations without receipts to be comfortable with such.

Edit: clicking on #fediblock led me to your post, that was written 2h ago. Will read and act accordingly.

Edit 2: the offending post is down, but not the user. Is this the bar of being pro-genocide? Asking quite seriously, especially I don't know if there is anything going on in the moderation background.

And then you stumble upon genocidal assholes like this.

Apparently mastodon.social will censor posts and accounts that oppose genocide but will allow incitement of violence against a peace activist delivering humanitarian aid to a starving people in the middle of a genocide (what’s a red cross on top of a person if not a call for their murder?)

Some Germans clearly haven’t quenched their thirst for genocide yet.

PS. Equating criticism of genocide with antisemitism is, itself, the greatest antisemitism as it is equivalent to stating that all Jews are pro genocide, which is, of course, false.

“The burden of proof is usually on the person who brings a claim in a dispute. It is often associated with the Latin maximsemper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, a translation of which is: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges."”

You said it, you back it up. Otherwise you’re like a conspiracy theorist who tells you to “do your own research” - a lazy cop out.
