@Gargron Thank you. While reporting a rogue account yesterday, I has entered the word #casteism in the free text field. #Mastodon must never have thought of this category to be part of moderation, until #India happened. That's just a sneak peek into how filthy the modern Indian SM space is.

@Gargron yay that trolls can be ejected but still sad they'd try to spread their poison here too.

@Gargron even look out for bio, dont allow to write caste on the bio or header. Indians have a habit of portraying caste every where. Zero tolerance on bigotry

@Gargron is there a list of code of conduct one can see ?

@Gargron who decides whether a content advocates casteism or not? Are there people sitting in an office to check this?

maahaachamasya

@Gargron Please ban mention of 'brahminism', too. It is not a religion, but the wors is used for targeting a particular caste.

@Gargron This is amazing, man. Kudos to you. I just joined Mastodon and I am impressed. I think you should do some cool marketing in India. Now is the time to tap this market as Twitter shows no signs of remorse.

@Gargron Thanks a Lot!

There are many Casteist slurs are practice to insult the depressed castes in India, people who are against of Reservation (Affirmative actions) in India often uses it.. Hope will find it and make sure about taking action for such account's.

@Gargron I don't understand this code of conduct. Is something happening with this group or...?

Warrior Tippu - سعود قازیا

@Gargron there should really be one rule which incorporates all forms of discrimination and hate

@Gargron Pleeeease Eugene, do not put to many restrictions on Mastodon!!! Let people express their views freely! There are goid things and bad things out there. Don't play God! Let "Natural Selection" be the judge. Don't become Twitter 2.0
