Kind of creepy: Even though I have #Threads blocked as an instance, I can fully see and even interact with all accounts (and they with me???). At least I can see my test interactions on the #Mastodon interface.
Blocking in Mastodon is a bad joke. It just takes the stuff out of the mentions. 🙄
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.
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.
@CatherineFlick
Yeah, in general I'm mainly thinking about the people I see talking about how they go look for people to block, and how it's so much to keep up with, even if it's better than other networks, and I'm just wondering if they realize that shielding users from the worst actors is the mod team's job on this network.
@Raccoon yeah, 100%. We don't get a huge number of reports but they are acted on almost instantaneously amongst our team. (I usually take the UK overnight ones because I'm up with the baby)
#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.
@derAnhaltiner@holger ähh, hast du gelesen, was diese Person anscheinend geschrieben hat? Ich finde, da ist mein dumm noch etwas zurückhaltend. Und wenn war meine Aussage auch etwas sarkastisch gemeint auf diesen dummen Kommentar. Ich habe mir nur überlegt, was ich auf so einen Kommentar antworten würde. Die Person hat sich selbst disqualifiziert für so eine ernsthafte Diskussion. Was willst du eigentlich von mir?

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.
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?
