Last night I made a very obviously satirical post calling for the “forced transition” of cis men – using their actual scare-logic about Trans women but backed up by actual statistics about men. It was very funny if I do, ahem, toot my own horn and, without notification, someone/thing on mastodon.social silently deleted my post.
I know, “just migrate.” But this does not inspire confidence to me. I feel violated as a Trans person.
I don’t even know who to address my issue with. I’m just silenced

in reply to Ryan💋 • • •Without having read the notification (obviously), I suspect the reason for the takedown was Poe's Law:
"Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture saying that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parody of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied."

Satire requires explicit indication or it's going to be thrown to the hateful, Nazified masses.

Unknown parent • • •Yes, you have a right to know the case to be met. You had a right to respond before any action was taken & not be blind sided, as it appears you were not afforded that basic right . If that is the case it is arguably enough to throw the decision out ,based on procedural/systemic unfairness, before merits are ever reviewed. You also have the right to to an impartial ,informed, moderator, but I do not know how that is assured.

in reply to Ryan💋 • • •In a SM environment where your post is exposed to people from many different backgrounds the risk multiplies.
Suggest using a content warning like "satire".
On your instance, I think the admin is @Gargron, and you could perhaps contact them.
According to this https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#:~:text=Moderation%20in%20Mastodon%20is%20always,the%20affected%20user%20by%20email. you're supposed to get email for moderation activity on your account as whole.

Unknown parent • • •I'm an old white fella that grew up in prejudice, loves my kids &cares not their sexuality or whom they love or lust after. None of my business .Their lives, their bodies, their choices.I don't have to be an expert on anything to know we are all human, all feel, none of us like rejection, public harassment or being ostracized simply for being ourselves and no harm to others .It hurts to be hurt for no reason. It happened to me at age 3 as my parents were mixed religion
