... So what do mastodon programmers do to counter this? They make the default limit on text 500, while allowing uploading of images. Use a link of an uploaded image to the server and it will not display unless you uploaded a copy of it. This is an attempt to give small groups and individuals the power to control their own servers federalized with others as one medium, or is it to perpetuate the social engineering experiment of limiting expression and free exchange of ideas?
Bound by no rules or restrictions, each “owner” of a server can exercise unlimited amount of censorship, even to erase all previous content and existence of a participant, without having to report to anyone this ever took place. You are invited to freely participate the one moment, the next all memory of your existence has vanished, and off you go to some virtual reality Guantanamo. Then the server owner can blackmail other servers to block this same entity or risk being dropped from the federation.

And this here text is way over 2500 characters, but fits fine in a picture, thanks to the exceptional server owners at libretooth.gr for not being mastodon dictators. Either the federation will organize better and develop a set of rules and mechanisms of justice for the participants or ...
