> discriminating against marginalized communities

If mastodon had this in the code of conduct they’d not be able to use their own software haha. They banned Gab and arguably Trump has a marginalized base and as far as I’m aware never advocated for violence (if you believe the contrary, note that trump could have been arrested but hasn’t)



In that case, Mastodon would be deciding who counts as "marginalized", and I really doubt they would see it that way.


You don't even have to guess. The default terms and code of conduct reflect my understanding of the project's positions.

Some of Trump's base is marginalized on one intersection or another, but they support ideologies and an ideologue that are not marginalized by any defensible definition.
