When I try to access the profile page of a certain account that's on another instance via my instance's web interface (e.g. https://chaos.social/deck/@trekkies@botsin.space, which is not the account in question, just an example), it just says "account suspended", but visiting its home instance clearly shows it being still active.
Am I correct to assume that my instance's admin banned this one specific account on "our" end? Can they do that? I guess so, right?
#Suspended #kolektivaSocial for being part of the problem - even if this is just a tiny instance it will not transport instances that are tolerating profiles containing “from the river to the sea”.
@Mastodon seriously? You are the very last people I'd expect to censor #Palestinian#media. Are you really that desperate to become like #Twitter or mainstream social media? I really hope that this is a sincere mistake, and that whoever pressed that #suspend button is reprimanded. This gives a very wrong signal to #Palestinians and independent #journalists / #press people who are seeking a friendly platform for their voices in the #fediverse.
If you dear reader are reading this post, please boost both Mondoweiss's original post (which will be displayed as a RE: link if you're in #Mastodon) to show your support for @mondoweiss as well as this quote #boost so that it may reach mastodon.social (because for all we know they could decide to just #fediblock their self-hosted instance altogether, thankfully that didn't happen yet and it's an account suspension for now)
Today I'm learning that Mastodon admins can not only suspend entire other servers, but select individuals, which instantly force-unfollows them from anyone on your server who follows them and denies any future interactions: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#suspend-user
I see the original point for spam purposes, but I didn't realize server admins could rip followers apart from one another. I thought fediblocks universally didn't affect your personal account's connections.
I've been wondering about this for a while, but couldn't find anything about it. What exactly happens after the screen turns off? Does the kernel actually suspend and halt the CPU? If so, how are notifications received while sleeping? Is there a coprocessor involved?
I'm curious. It would be great if someone could point me towards some articles or videos about this.
Si vous avez des liens sur le fait de créer et de gérer sa propre instance, je prends !
j'ai absolument pas le temps de faire ça, mais je suis terrifiée des gens à qui on cause et qui vous voient pas mais s'attendent à me voir pourtant parce qu'on se parle ailleurs, ça me colle une crise d'angoisse énorme >< .
est-ce qu'il y a des instances bloquées par personne et qui bloquent personne ?? comment on trouve ça, y'a ça dans les paramètres de choix d'instance ?
What is happening on #Mastodon? I was following over 250 people and I had over 1,400 followers and now I find myself following only 191 people and only 900 followers!
I’m hoping for a future where many services use ActivityPub and it stays open in a way that email protocols and the web are. Then everyone profits.
The question is: Does suspending Meta’s servers help or prevent that future? I’m currently slightly leaning towards “help”. That may change, depending on what Meta does.
Because there's so much confusion around this and the docs aren't exactly clear, I gathered some links about what happens to follow-relationships when suspending (aka defederating) another Fedi instance from a Mastodon instance.
TLDR: follow relationships are severed and NOT restored when the remote instance is un-suspended. Users will have to start following the remote accounts again manually, or import a backup of their follow-list if they have one.
We continue to temporarily suspend mastodon.social whenever we see a wave of spam coming from there. It can be a bit of guesswork when to lift the suspension, but it seems better to err on the side of caution and prevent more of our users from getting these spam messages. Thanks for your understanding!
@moderation suspending an instance is equivalent to suspending all current users of that instance as well as new ones who are created while the suspension is in place.
If you un-suspend a single user, the follow relationships are also not reinstated and need to manually be restored. It’s the same when suspending an entire instance. If people have created an export CSV file of their follows before the suspension they can use that to restore them.
The more I read about #bluesky, the worse it sounds. Sure, the TOS has standard boilerplate stuff, but there is some really bad stuff in there.
Now, I found out that on BlueSky you can't block users, only mute them. I can see how that can be a problem. Harassers can keep dogpiling and posting hateful stuff even if you can't see their interactions
From the screenshot (which the TOS says you can't do or "You wouldn't screenshot BlueSky"), it looks like the BlueSky team is having a real headache.
