I’m not sure, but even if not I still feel like that’s a silly complaint.
Party A says something on the Internet that offends party B.
Party B says something on the Internet that offends party A.
Party A complains that they’re being asked to self-censor.
I see it as both parties using the service as designed to speak their minds. Party A also has the tools to mute Party B if they don’t like what they have to say.
I do get that, but really, B doesn’t have any special sway. They’re just some randos saying that they don’t like A’s posting. While annoying, that’s going to happen on every social network. If I went on Gab and started posting a lot of pro-Biden content, I’m certain plenty of people would tell me to knock it off.
So sure, it’s alright for A to be annoyed by it. That’s definitely not a unique feature of the fediverse, though.
