So there is a site out called #countersocial and some people I know are thinking of joining it. Apparently it started as a #Mastodon instance but left due to issues involving negative feedback for blocking all users from 7 specific countries. The owner claims the "the lead developer [of Mastodon]" "decided to slur, slander, libel and basically cause as much trouble with us to his ‘community’ at large."
Can anyone give me any insight into this?
