the cool thing about gnusocial is that we can have both "freedom" and moderation at the same time
- @mcscx@quitter.se repeated this.
-
it's difficult to think outside the sevice provide-customer relation. people are used to "demanding" and "protesting" instead of acting
-
quitter is acting. we perform a different way of being that is radically different from being a customer/worker on a commercial platform
-
gnusocial is not a technocratic invention that "lets" people say anything, it's a tool for socializing, organizing, taking the power back!

@jookia For me I defined the rule that I'm very strict with the users of my servers. I won't allow homophobic or xenophobic stuff on it - but of course I will always offer them to create an own server or I will direct them to a list of servers where they can chose another one.

@hannes2peer exporting contact lists already exists, since we have FOAF profiles for all users in !GNUsocial - there's just nothing to import it ;)

Freedom and moderation are not incompatible.
You need the last if you want to enjoy the first. If nobody gives moderation for protect your rights or anyone else's rights, how are we going to be free?
Every society or any social space needs moderation, because it needs “nomos” (normativity). They also need institutions for consolidate the normative effectivity. Human rights are “nomos” (normativity). Without human rights there is not real freedom.
Example: if a moderator don't let you post nazi propaganda is because he/her is protecting human rights, and, in consequence, is protecting everybody's freedom.
