if someone disagrees
they are free to make a post about it
Sure. Of course I can write as many posts as I want on my blog. My modest reach may attract a handful of people, but they will recognise my channel as having too little reach as well. If you are someone who has been muted on the official channel and visitors there can't read your commentary or criticism and cannot interact with you as well, because you have been muted, your little personal blog is more likely to go under.
True, "factually" this is not censorship. There are supposed to be precursors or developments that can be seen as the antechamber of censorship.
Personally, I have not had any problems with censorship or being muted. However, I actually cannot exclude the possibility that I am already censoring myself in a certain way or retreating into the echo chambers where I practise free speech.
but this idea that we need to make content-screening-rules that apply to others
is the "real-problem"
I don't understand. I am not for content-screening-rules. Quite the opposite.
well, you can tag the top 20 witnesses and the top stakeholders
if you really want some exposure
it seems unlikely that they will all mute you at the same time

What I want is to have exposure on the official channel, when the official channel announces something and I want to respond to it or place a question in the comment section.
well, in that case, you should probably keep in mind that you can be banned on a whim
but in most other places, being banned from the "official" blog means being banned from the entire platform and losing access to your own data
for example, when jordan peterson made headline news by protesting canada's "pronoun law", he was banned from his personal gmail account and his work gmail account
most people (including myself) never imagined that google would or could ban someone from their personal gmail account without any avenue for appeal and NOT for any "crime" but for simply having an "unpopular opinion"
That is probably why I am overly sensitive on this topic. Some people here in Germany had to face their bank accounts being closed, as it was reported.
genau
I love when you german talk me. HaHa!
😂
censorship can only happen if someone else, some "authority" can control who you can view and who can view you
luckily, blurt also has multiple "front-ends" blurt.blog blurt.one blurtlatam so you're more likely to find one that reflects your ideals
