What's Meant by "Antenna Abuse" (Gemini)

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2024

YESTERDAY we wrote about sporadic reports of or responses to "Antenna Abuse" (syndication in Gemini). We didn't know what exactly it was about, as the wording had been chosen to be intentionally vague. Hours later the alleged "abuser" spoke out, saying: "That's why I attacked Antenna. I wanted to demonstrate what it's like to be the one who's censored and slandered."

So basically it turns out that Bjorn believes pro-Israel views need to be censored (culled) and someone is now calling it "Zionist troll", implying that opposing the October 7th attacks makes one a "troll", even when one is Christian, not Jewish.

Like we said yesterday, we're not a political site, but it is worth clarifying what was meant by "Antenna Abuse". It's not pretty and it makes Gemini(space) look a bit hostile/radical.

Having said that, syndication is not a monopoly in Gemini and if one doesn't condone political censorship, then one can create one's own syndication service/capsule. █
