At the WEF, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez calls for the end of anonymity on social media by forcing them to link all user accounts with the European digital identity wallet.
Mastodon is only federated, this means your account is owned by the instance owner and can be banned. Bastyon is decentralized meaning there is no owner, your content can be blocked if there is a report and a random jury of high reputation users unanimously agrees that rules have been violated.
If they pass a law that social media platforms need to collect ID the instance you run will have to collect ID or shut down. No single entity runs Bastyon and no ID laws can be enforced.
You do not understand the platform and are speaking out of ignorance. You do not need to run a node to use the platform and no one can stop you from joining.
If you run a node you participate in the network, your user does not reside or originate from your node it is distributed as all metadata is stored on chain.

The point is that it is not owned by any corporation and it is run by a network of nodes which are not easily shut down.
No porn but ok to racism? Gee, I wonder I haven’t heard of that before. It’s not like there’s a free alternative with a Mastodon for a mascot.

And you’re picking #3?

You can’t even move goalposts right. If you run a server for yourself you’ve already collected the ID for its single user.
Since you’re not interested in honest discourse and are pushing an agenda, I’ll now block you. Have a great life!
