This is not a passive sieving, but rather the very active, intentional construction of silos.<\/p>\n<p>If you look at this guy&#8217;s timeline you find he is literally a basket weaver. The address of course is New Zealand. The responses to the post about book burning are pretty notable to me. &#8222;Let&#8217;s imagine you&#8217;d opened the cover and discovered that Mein Kampf was under it. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The Turner Diaries. The NZ shooter&#8217;s manifesto.&#8220; You know, if I opened the cover of a book and found Mein Kampf I would honestly be really pleased to have a copy of Mein Kampf, because I can&#8217;t legally buy one here in Germany without a bunch of commentary telling me all the horrors Hitler&#8217;s 1925 book was going to create in the decades ahead. What if what I <em>really<\/em> want to do is read the book the way it was originally published? Nope, can&#8217;t do &#8211; too dangerous to trust you with this. I find this attitude quite troubling.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if when they block me various social media users righteously see me as a sort of living Hitler, their blocking of my Twitter or Mastodon account a sort of noble burning of Mein Kampf? Whew! Glad I torched that one in time, before it could take over Europe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Again I have found a reply to a Mastodon post has me blocked from a user&#8217;s timeline, and browsing the timeline as an anonymous user I find posts and responses subsequent to mine has people comfortably agreeing with the original &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/?p=20050\">Weiterlesen <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20050"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20050\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wehle.ee\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
