@Lorry I think what I would like to see is more honesty (and frankly, bravery) from platforms that they do in fact do this kind of thing. Just say "Yes we ban people who don't align with our stated values," and take the potentially huge PR hit.

Also: I think that large platforms structurally cannot do this because $$$. Which is why I have hope for the network of small platforms here, constantly negotiating federation. It's more human, even if it's maddening. (It's maddening to be human.)
