 What's it with people reporting every single person they dont like.. :amaze: Please, stop with that. This is not #Twitter. Please use features like mute or block if you don't like people but stop reporting otherwise I'll start banning people who keep reporting for nothing :blobhammer: I'm trying to keep things running with so many new people and it's such a waste of time to hear whatever you don't like Otherwise go waste Elon's time, not mine 94 comments
@stux@mstdn.social @stux Hahahaha…don’t tell her about it please..She would kill me😂 @stux would it help if there's a list of 'report abusers' in the admin? Where you can see a list of accounts that have reported but that an admin declined? Or such? I guess I could make that as a PR for mastodon. Because I've been seeing this "abuse of moderators energy" too...    @stux@mstdn.social @selea@social.linux.pizza meanwhile i get zero reports on my instance @stux There should be a popup before reporting to leave the admins alone and offer other resolutions @stux Haven't really run into anyone I would even feel like reporting yet. Guess I lucked out on my follows. @SheRa_Persists @stux me too. But I’d never considered reporting someone who I didn’t agree with. I’ve reported overt racism, and will do it here if I see it, but otherwise blocking is the only tool I’ve ever considered  @stux Not to add yet another task to your list but would it help to add this information prominently to the about page as part of the instance policies? (As an educational device.) e.g., Something along the lines of: “If you don’t want to hear from someone, please block or mute them. The ‘report’ feature is for reporting abuse only. We define abuse as listed in the server terms here <link>” @lefractal @stux Or maybe even a rewording of the standard text to make it clearer? CC @Gargron @jeannie Haha, I’ve been around far too long to assume something like that :) But some people do. So it’s better than nothing. And the others you can then simply refer to with a link so it’s less effort in the future.  seems to be a lot of - desire to control what others say instead of what they themselves hear. @stux quite annoying those people that want to remove every opinion that doesn't match theirs. On fora and reddit you see it happen quite a lot. People downvoting and reporting for no sensible reason.  @stux Things have been rough in the past few days with the #MastodonMigration! I do appreciate your hard work and when my next pension payment hits I will try to divert a few pence your way (wish it was more). @stux perhaps this is a problem with having so many people on your instance? I can imagine it's hard moderate/build-community if your instance is too big. @RadiantFlux @stux both being a general instance and being a large instances. But in general people coming in ‘trigger happy’ as conditioned by twitter. To disagree or dislike some doesn’t make them instant bannable (probably not a word). I have seen idiots on Mastodon, but that is no reason to ban. Just trying to avoid as the plague. @Stephan @stux I am on a small instance, and I think it just works better. My admin is super responsive and has a sense of the sort of community they wants to cultivate. I think it's hard/impossible to have a coherent group of people when you have 10,000s there. I think it's a mistake (but it's a free world) to have such big instances on Mastodon in general. @stux @RadiantFlux with current influx we must be happy. They are the buffer. People will find there way eventually. The are the main street people use to start venturing in surrounding neighbourhoods.  @RadiantFlux @stux @Stephan Yea, I think a long term goal of the admins should be figuring out how to break up some of these larger instances. It defeats the purpose of decentralization and makes things harder to run. But I understand right now we just want the doors open for people trying to get here from Twitter @Stephan @RadiantFlux @stux the problem is when the spread conspiracy stuff and some easy to convince people believe that you know what happened after trump lost the election?  I feel your pain. And then there are reports with nothing in it. What do they expect I can do with such reports?! @stux New here? Go make a cuppa. Sit down and find out about the Big Grey Elephant before moaning about it. Run by volunteers, not big corporations, it is now carrying over 7million people on its back, up from 500k in roughly a month. Devs, mods and owners are working hard to keep things running smoothly. Thank them and donate if possible. https://fedi.tips/ @stux agreed. Just block or mute. For example toots in a language I don’t know I mute. Stuff I understand but don’t agree with, I block: easy @stux in don't get this, in Mastodon you create your own timeline, you don't get posts forced by an algorithm. @stux Hey - there's this guy in my office. He's kind of irritating and chews really loudly in the next cubicle. Can you come to my workplace and talk to HR about having him fired? Sorry you have to deal with all the nonsense like that - and thanks for doing all you do. @stux we really appreciate all the work you’re doing and the kindness and care 💖💖💖💖💖 @MaRY1Fem it is very refreshing and it’s so nice to see other people here I love from other places getting to experience this kind of peacefulness, which I know comes from intention and effort on so many people’s parts 💖 Why is there even an 'I don't like this' option in the Report section? What is a moderator supposed to do with that notification? @stux but death treats should get reported unthinkable also stuff like nationalist conspiracy stuff @stux @stux np. Will try and keep it down for a while. Thanks for the opportunity and the work. @stux the problem is when you block people and instances you end up in a bubble it’s actually a huge problem because that way there is no Exchange anymore but at the other way most people nowadays get hostile if they hear another opinion especially the Right Wing nationalist People they are really fast with insults and death treats  |
