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.)
@aral from Your followers should still be fine. Based on Mastodon docs limiting (silencing) a user doesn't break follows and only means posts won't show up on public timelines: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#limit-user
Or are the Mastodon docs incorrect?
@73ms Hmm, interesting. I was going by this: https://mastodon.ar.al/@JoshStrobl@fosstodon.org/110688921326838056
