Only the purest are good enough for the People’s Front of Judea.

I guess the closing footnote of the blog post summarizes it well:

from the point of view of many leftists, they’re not very far left, and liberals are, in fact, right wing

Trying to place people as left/right in an international forum like this is a complete waste of time. I’m writing from a Polish instance, where communist symbols are banned and the political left/right dimension looks completely different from my Scandinavian home country. In my traditionally left-leaning home country I’m a leftist. By the minds of many Americans I’m a stupid centrist because I’m not ideologically pure enough - Social Democracy is just capitalism with a human face etc. And don’t get me started on the Russians and the Chinese.

For some people, if you reject Leninism you’re right wing.

I’m not an expert in GDPR and will leave the technical side to those who are, but the fact that the EU actively present at the Fediverse with among others the @EU_Commission represented at their official Mastodon instance, I would be surprised if the GDPR was suddenly weaponised against it.

GDPR was written with the intention of empowering users over corporations. The Fediverse has the same goal.
