Oh, nice, looks like the Fosstodon instance (@fosstodon) silenced my profile.

I guess it tells you more about “FOSS”todon than anything else that they chose to block a human rights activist/privacy advocate who wakes up and works at a not-for-profit on free and open software every day. Maybe if I were to work at Google and hack on a hobby open source project in the evenings I’d be acceptable?
*smh*
Edit: “silenced” not “blocked (i.e., suspended)”
Edit: So if you’re on Fosstodon, know that Fosstodon has silenced my account.
You should be able to follow me if you want to see my posts but won’t otherwise see them if they’re boosted into your timelines, etc.
Or maybe consider switching to a FOSS server that doesn‘t silence FOSS developers.
(Please boost if you haven’t been silenced by Fosstodon also so folks there might see. Thanks.)
Note: edited to make it clear that I was silenced not suspended.
Apparently that doesn’t make people unfollow you but it means that your posts do not show up in people’s timelines if they’re boosted there, etc.
So, basically, folks on Fosstodon are not made to unfollow me but I’m censored there.
@aral fosstodon is the new closetodon?
@jan No idea. I was apparently silenced and now I’m apparently not…
