People over at InfoSec really do have a censored viewpoint.
The hasthag "Mastodon" and "Fediverse" for example, need approval and has not been updated for 1, 2, and 5 days ago.
I feel sorry for everyone there, because Jerry is no better than Elon Musk. Everything is filtered and all 11,000+ users have no clue.

A few people I should tag before this account too vanishes from their sight.
Fortunately, I don't follow many people from InfoSec. But they should be made aware of what has been happening.
-
They don't yet know about this account (yet), and as shown in the screenshot, they don't show up via the hashtag either.
@NetscapeNavigator @mathaetaes If you had tagged @jerry you'd have a better change of him seeing it

When all communication breaks down and you reach a point where reaching out no longer has value, the goal becomes warning others.
So let me be blunt: I wanted him to be the last person to see this, in order to buy time.
As shown in the original post screenshot, I reached out and was consistently ignored. I even created a new account, and that was suppressed as well.
I’m also not the only person who has experienced this — so warning others was the point.

@NetscapeNavigator @ithoughtisawa2 @mathaetaes bro reached out about what? Send screenshots of what you sent in the interest of public transparency? Y’all are griping because the owner of the instance is filtering stuff? News flash: there’s a shit load of stuff out there I WANT filtered. Your post here (at best) reeks of trolling. Netscape? Vivaldi? You make a vague claim about reaching out and being blocked without any sort of evidence and quote toot another dude who’s also making a vague claim about, gasp, filtering on the internet???

Sure, I can provide a screenshot from a direct message I sent 2 months ago.
But I would also like to provide a URL to his site showing how he suspends my account remotely. I have never been a member of his site, nor do I recall previously communicated with Jeffy before he took these actions.
As such, I doubt he he has any interest in even receiving my communication, or anyone else's for that matter.
Here is URL on how any account I have is displayed on Infosec.exchange

@NetscapeNavigator @AmbianceAsunder @ithoughtisawa2 I'm already annoyed. This has all the same energy of those right-wing manbabies yelling "debate me, bro!" all over the nazi bar.
If you make new accounts and keep getting them blocked, it's because you're doing something that brings them to the moderator's attention to get them blocked. It's not like people are out there using psychic mind powers to figure out that your new account is correlated with your old.
Change the behavior that gets you blocked, and you'll stop getting blocked.
I, for one, am VERY grateful for @jerry and the effort he puts into keeping this instance full of trash.

That only makes sense if your assumption is true. You’re concluding I must be evading bans because I’m being blocked, but I’ve never used the Infosec instance before. Nor do I have a desire to do so.
On the Fediverse, people having accounts on multiple instances is normal. Many people do it to overcome the fragmentation.
Right-wing? Find anything on this profile that is right-wing... I dare you!

@NetscapeNavigator @ithoughtisawa2 @mathaetaes just because he blocked you doesn’t mean he’s blocking everyone. You’re making assumptions without any actual evidence. Further, why do you care about being blocked so much? Seems strange to me. Most people would move on rather than trying to raise alarm bells about mass censorship. This whole thing smells off - move on bro lol.

Yeah
I've had Infosec as my fourth instance since Nov 2 2022
It's still an alt for me, although in last place, and I only check in for moments to see if I'm still on it
Jerry runs Infosec with an opaque, unappealable iron hand
If he doesn't like what you're doing there is no recourse other than to leave
Which I did
He jumped my case because I was flagging a "HelloQuitX" bot as a spam bot
Some Important Mastodon Personality(tm) complained to Jerry and he deleted all my posts
Only thing he didn't do was simply vaporize my account, but that said, I'm well rid of him
"I, for one, am VERY grateful for jerry and the effort he puts into keeping this instance full [sic] of trash."
Yeah
Only because you and Jerry call the same thing trash...

The issue is simple: they’ve blocked access to all 11,000+ users.
That means 11,000+ people you can’t follow — and 11,000+ people who can’t follow you.
That’s no different from how Elon Musk handles blocking on Twitter.
If Jeff were blocking me personally for his own account, that would be his choice. I could respect that — just like anyone choosing to block someone individually.
But that’s not what’s happening. He’s making that decision on behalf of all 11,000+ users, without notice and without any input from them.
Again, that is what Elon Musk does on Twitter.

@NetscapeNavigator you just said most users have alt accounts which means they’d see the stuff anyways? I’m also still confused on what you think Jerry has blocked folks from seeing?
