I think what's most frustrating to me about it is, even as the head of moderation for one of the larger instances, I really don't know what I can do about it. Like, I can keep telling people that yes this exists, and try to coordinate some response to it, but I can't do anything about things I don't see or that are happening on servers we've already blocked.

Currently, I'm trying to make our blocklist, which is supposed to be the worst actors, into a public resource that these server admins can merge into their own block lists and move on... But I don't know how much that's actually going to help, and I don't know what else I can do.

Edit: also, encouraging people to report, and trying not to send people to poorly moderated instances where reports are ignored, are a key part of this process.
