This is a big problem. Made worse by the horrible choice by #Mastodon to include "innocent bystander" reporting where the instances of people so much as mentioned in a post also get a report.

Can't opt an instance out of those reports.

Truly a poorly thought and executed feature.

We pay our moderators. Since the outbreak of the Israeli war our moderator costs are through the roof.

@jerry @lhundrup

Some months back we estimated that it costs $4-$5 in real money to investigate and handle each report for Newsie.

Because of the "Add forwarding of reported replies to servers being replied to by @Gargron and @ClearlyClaire it's been nothing but a flood of innocent bystander reports.

We're approaching a point where we will start disabling reports for some domains where this is being abused.
