He posts mainly on Facebook, and copies some posts to bluesky and (up to now) to Mastodon, to support big tech alternatives.
Also on FB you will not find anything that you "would expect to get moderated on a .world server". He is very balanced and respectful (but also very clear) in his posts on complicated topics, as I must grant him, even if I do not always agree with him.

Kazim is a bestselling author from Germany, carrying a CNN Journalist Award.
He says he got canceled because his posts were not appreciated by the mod.
This case concerns the basic working and ethical principles in the fediverse, I would say.
💯👍
