I have to admit I generally enjoy slack. But in any community there are going to be assholes. One thing I dislike about Slack is the inability to #mute or #block people. Yes some of them utterly deserve it, and I don’t think I should have to tolerate their virtriol in the normal course of my day.
So instead I must manually stop myself from reading their words and absorbing their attitude. Because if I speak out about then I’m the jerk.
Here is something you can work on. You could try to mount your volumes as named volume as per this docker-compose file, so that docker takes care of permissions and ownership of the files.
If I understand it correctly you want to use an external drive or a drive partition ? You can’t directly use those partitions as named volume. You can also mount a SAMBA/CIF mounted volume from your external drive/drive partition or NFS (read here).
Do not change this part in the docker-compose I shared above. This files needs to be located where It can find it.
Sometimes I'm tempted to start some sort of "#NoBlockChallenge", where people go a week without using the #block button, and just use the report button instead. I really want people to see what it looks like when moderation reacts to their concerns in a matter of hours.
Honestly, any moderation team that isn't actively going after things you can't tolerate on your timeline is either not doing their job or not aligned with what you want out of the network: if reporting instead of blocking doesn't significantly improve your timeline on its own, you're probably on the wrong server.
#serverrules are so great. Trolls and fascists and assholes usually conflict immediately with them. #block and #report them asap and keep the #fediverse a nice place.
Jemand stellt im Business Netzwerk ein veganes Produkt vor, das keine Tiere tötet, klimafreundlich ist und sogar noch schmeckt. Was passiert: der einfältige Fleischesser mit Kopfvakuum muss betonen, dass das Erbsenhack am besten schmeckt, wenn es durch Rind ersetzt wird. Und das zeigt wieder weshalb wir es verdient haben als Gattung auf diesem Planeten auszusterben.
Kein Screenshot weil ich es leid bin solchen Typen eine Bühne zu geben.
#Trump’s anti- #Ukraine view dates to the 1930s. #America rejected it then. Will we now?
by Robert Kagan
The original #AmericaFirst Cmte was founded in Sept 1940. Consider global circumstances at the time. 2 yrs earlier, #Hitler had annexed Austria & #invaded & #occupied Czechoslovakia. 1 yr earlier, he had invaded & conquered Poland. In the 1st months of 1940, he invaded & occupied Norway, Denmark, Belgium & the Netherlands.
In early June 1940, British troops evacuated from Dunkirk, & #France was overrun by the #Nazi#blitzkrieg. In Sept, the very month of the cmte’s formation, German troops were in Paris & Edward R. Murrow was reporting from #London under bombardment by the #Luftwaffe. That was the moment the #AmericaFirst movement launched itself into the battle to #block#aid to #Britain.
@figstick@palestine@israel this post just earned you a #block from a supporter of Palestine. You are way off the mark on this one with your “tasteless joke” comment.

When you go to mute, block, or unfollow someone, it should display the previous interactions you've had with that person so you don't accidentally get rid of someone who has been cool for one bad post just because you can't remember.
My fedi-software does both (fully conformant). So, it follows above specification and so includes https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#delete-activity-outbox replies.
However, this might be a bit underspecified but it is useless if any software rolls out their own Client-to-Server-API.
So, I'd say it is “rather a software issue”.
Anyway. What I could not find in the spec. at all was:
What would happen to replies if an object gets deleted. This is what I am interpreting as the replies should stay.
I can only say that this is also a legal issue, it is e.g. my only way to show how I reacted to deleted posts of Nazis.
Opinions?
Love your sketch gifs, lashman! Always wondered how a professional sketches, ordering of pen strokes, etc. Do you show erasures and do-overs? Just curious about the craft. @sl007@lashman
Anyone else annoyed by the changes to mute and block that have occured on Mastodon?
I found a 6 hour mute useful when someone start filling my timeline with excessive posts. Just a little timeout for them so I can see what else other people are posting.
The block feature should be renamed to “mute”, which is what it seems to actually be. Currently I can apply this to a user and they can still see all my posts. So it’s a good mute feature but a terrible block feature.
A good two way blocking system should mainly focus on preventing interaction from the blocked user (The specs of Activitypub mention interraction, as opposed to viewing), even if they don’t hide it, the interactions from the blocked user wouldn’t be federated as if they were a banned user.
Can't believe I'm even getting started with this again, because this specific point seems to be utterly irrelevant to all the men who want #QuotePosts / #QuoteBoosts or whatever you want to call them and who don't care how they're used
The problem is that women with opinions would be quote posted to cc lists of misogynist, incel males all of whom would proceed to brigade her for hours and hours with vivid, angry threats
I saw it happen repeatedly on Twitter
"Oh, well, she should just #Mute and #Block all of them then!"
Yeah
Women with unpopular opinions should spend all their time on social media fighting a rear-guard action against woman-haters who are attacking them in packs
Or maybe never stick their necks out again, which is the desired effect
"Sit down and shut up, bitch, but fix me a sammich first!"
How long do we tolerate #spam from an instance? If new accounts are still popping up to spam us after a week, I think we are justified in concluding that the instance is #unmoderated (#admins can lock down signups), and #block the whole instance. Or am I being too harsh?
Trouble running MediaCMS: “Server Error (500)” on logging in.
Hey there!...
Blocking a user behaves more like mute. Proper blocking needed to prevent harassment.
