GNU social is a free social networking platform. It helps people in a community, company or group to exchange short status updates, do polls, announce events, or other social activities (and you can add more!). GNU social supports an open standard called OStatus that lets users in different networks follow each other. It enables a distributed social network spread all across the Web.

Archived A quick survey of GNU Social silencing and sandboxing (gnusocial)
submitted 4.7 years ago by Futt
While GNU Social users are often refugees from Twitter and abhor the censorship that is rampant over there, some nodes have a different idea. They seem to take issue with not being able to ban/silence the "problematic" users themselves and have set out to do just that in their own little empires. So I made a script that grabbed the silenced/sandboxed users from the nodes listed at Fediverse and tallied them up. Here is the result.
Please note that this list only covers the nodes that have banned/silenced users with Qvitter (which is the plugin that enables this feature). Those with 0 in both columns are not listed; but neither are nodes that do not use this plugin. It does not include other means of banning users or de-federating nodes. That's a project for another day.
If you are curious whether you've been silenced/sandboxed by a node, type in the node address with /main/silenced or /main/sandboxed at the end (i.e. https://quitter.is/main/silenced ).
