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.

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.
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?
Does anyone know if there's a way, in #Firefox (preferably without add-ons), for me to #block entire websites/domains ? The same way in Mastodon you can block an entire instance, in a way.
Basically I'm trying to think of ways to block all those clearly #AI-generated content farms, for instance when I search something about a videogame or a TV show.
I can't for the life of me remember the domain names of each one I get sent to by accident via a search.
Jack Dorsey is actually in charge of Block (the parent company of Square, like Alphabet is for Google), so we can all blame him for this bunch of layoffs.
#Nazis sind Nazis. Eine #Nazipartei ist eine Partei von und für Nazis. Wer nun meint, es sei #undemokratisch, eine solche Partei, die das Ziel der Abschaffung der #Demokratie verfolgt, zu verbieten, kann sich gern bei mir einen #Block abholen.
For a while now i'm working on a Voxel game + Editor, that does have some unique mechanics, and is not just a copy of a popular game.
It's entirely written in rust, bevy and egui. I started the project last year in April
These images are mostly from my Discord Server, that i kinda use as a Dev Diary (let me know, if you're interested btw)
If anyone wonders why nitter.net stopped working, it's due to Njalla domain provider suspending dev's account... after someone made a complaint about nudity images. More absurdly, links are from other instance: nitter.it https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150
At best, this is extremely shortsighted and premature decision by Njalla because Nitter is simply Twitter's frontend. At worst, it's a deliberate attempt to pressure on Nitter devs once again
“It’s perfectly okay to use the block function on any and every single platform. Block whoever you want. Block liberally. Block joyously. It’s not rude; it’s not an act of censorship, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation.”
I just suspended the 'kbin.social' domain from our side, the issues on their side is happening for days now and it really effects our service backend now also.. If they have it all solved we will remove the block and we can refollow again Sorry about this but we don't have other options
🧵1/3 Tested for you: If I #block an #instance or people privately, I can no longer interact with them after a short wait, even though I can still see the profile. But I have tried this with #Threads and it does NOT work!
Regardless of whether I block the whole domain or just one account (test with Insta-Boss), I can still interact and comment (he probably, too?). So I will have to move to another instance with #blockThreads ▶️ https://fedipact.online/#privacy#dataSecurity#GDPR@Gargron
The proliferation of #ActivityPub is exciting. But don't dismiss those that want to defederate with corporate socials. The #fediverse was built by individuals escaping the harassment they faced on those platforms.
If you don't agree with your server admin's decision to federate with a specific domain, you can block it on your own. You have the power!
This seems preferable to an admin making the decision for all users.
mstdn.social has blocked kbin.social (mstdn.social)
