Mastodon was launched as a decentralized, social justice friendly Twitter alternative that was free of Nazis and harassment.
Its biggest instance is now Gab, a far-right social media network known widely as a gathering space for white supremacists.

THREAD (1/7) Although we were asked by @BMakuch to make a statement for his recent piece in @Motherboard we are appalled at the way in which Ben has taken up, uncritically, the claims of the far right social network and that the piece is in essence an advertisement for Gab. https://twitter.com/MastodonProject/status/1149434185720799232?s=17
オイゲンさんがGabをMastodonのフォークでプラットフォームを作ることに対して、鯖やクライアント単位でのブロックを強気にブロックしようと呼びかけていたことは今思うとあながち間違った行動ではなかったように思える。
本当にこの記事はだめ。Gabの宣伝にしかならない。

Gabについての和訳記事を見つけた。（2018年10月30日）
BBCニュース - ピッツバーグ乱射、容疑者利用のSNSが利用不可に 関係企業が次々撤退 https://www.bbc.com/japanese/46027446
@blank71 I used google translate for this so please tell me this isnt what it said:
“Includes founder and conspiracy perpetrator Alex Jones of the neo-Nazi site ‘Daily Stormer’“
@igeljaeger @blank71 that’s what it says though lol
@igeljaeger
I don't know about Gab who made it or who is operating it. And I can't understand what you want to say. (please introduce more easily...😭)
I'm Japanese and Gab doesn't known well in Japan. So I searched about it.
Gab has a lot of right wing conservative old people on it and a few nazis. It switched to the fediverse as a business decision. My main point when I replied was being confused as to why Japanese people would care about it and why they call 'Alex jones' a neonazi, which he is not. And why they're saying that he's part of the daily stormer, which he is also not. He has his own website called 'infowars'.
@igeljaeger
Japanese know why Gab started to use mastodon's code.
Many Japanese don't know and would not care about who is him, I think. Most of us only remember that Gab caused accidents.
@igeljaeger
well, Japanese know some user who was in Gab caused it.
I'm agree that Twitter or another SNS have some dangerous people too.
この投稿に対して外国の方から
「この記事に書いてある『Alex Jonesはネオナチである』という説明は不適切だ。日本人はそのように捉えているのか？」
と突然リプライを貰った。
「日本人の多くは、その人自体を知らないと、僕は思う。日本人はGabがどういう事件を起こしたかについては知っている。」
と答えた。
これは個人的な意見で、日本人は言論の自由と言論統制について比較的意識が低いのではないか、ということを伝えたいのだけど圧倒的に語彙力が足らない。
