@rysiek What we need is cooperation and a rich arsenal of response to attacks. Certainly mastodon.social as the Gothem here has a key role to play, but just saying the problems are because it is a big city, and the solution is to have no big cities, is too simplistic and ignores that you need effective measures for enforcement of community standards throughout the social fabric.
@rysiek The thing about Mastodon that gives us a fighting chance at this is that we generally are civic minded and care about our communities big and small. When an invader shows up bend on wrecking havoc, we pull together and deal with them. It is fine to then assess what happened, what went wrong, and how to do better in the future. But casting aspersions and attributing bad faith motives to one another is not the right path. Dividing the community is how the attacker wins.
