    I am a political commentator, as well as an activist. This is why I cannot remain silent:

    For someone like you, you would probably want to post publicly, to as many platforms and protocols as you can, so you reach a wider audience. But you would need to choose a platform with better permissions and moderation tools.

    For example, you would want to control who can comment on your posts and be able to delete comments that are toxic. Mastodon does not have this capability, but most platforms that have threaded conversations give you that ability.

      Very true.
      However, I have a very strick block policy and in 98% of cases, the threat of using it, helps.
      I always wonder a little bit what happens, after I block s.o.
      My understanding is, that his/her posts remain, but we cannot see each others posts anymore (counter-block, mostly)
