Gregory's Server@touk I'm not going to rush to block the entire #threads instance as I have a lot of friends on #facebook and many of them suffer from odd preconceptions about mastodon being overly complicated and other nonsense so their first experience of the #fediverse will likely be through threads, and I'd like to welcome them here. But I won't hesitate to block anyone thinking they can troll or be racist, anti inclusivity or fascist. Not for a second.

@project1enigma @rozeboosje @touk Yes, this. Imagine being someone the racists like to target. You get a ton of abuse constantly; you can block people, sure. You can block the instances, sure. But if you join/use Mastodon and that's the first thing you get, it is not good. And if the admins of your server figure well, we won't block that server which you keep getting abuse from, that reflects poorly to say the least.  @rozeboosje @touk Are you ready to moderate all of Threads? 'Cause that will be necessary if you don't want to throw the safety of others under the bus. Even if you block the most well known bullshitters like "LibsOfTiktok" or "PragerU" there are too many for single moderators to handle. |
@rozeboosje @touk That devolves the work on many marginalized people, duplicated for each, when it's actually part of instance moderation at least on instances that actually care for marginalized people
