Well, I got my first white supremacist reply from the fediverse after posting an article about Elon from Flipboard.
I reported and blocked the account. I also looked at the instance admin's account and it's clear he's also a white supremacist. So that instance will be blocked on flipboard.com and flipboard.social as well as shared with other instance admins as a problematic instance for them to take action if they also deem appropriate. Took all of 2 minutes to help make the fediverse a bit better for everyone.
And the best thing is that anyone in the fediverse can do this too. Decentralized moderation FTW.
@mike If you don’t mind, sharing the domain with the #fediblock hashtag will make other admins aware of it too, if they aren’t already, so they can block it also.
@aral ok. flipboard.social and flipboard.com are blocking noauthority.social #fediblock for hate speech and calls for violence.
in my experience of admin, starting from BBS in the past, up to fediverse now, is much worth to ban words than ban instances. What you don't like, at the end, is the topic. Not the computer.
You just need to ban the relevant symbols/words nazi are using. It takes a while to kick, but then you silence them completely.
In the past I blocked "pizza domino" , "adenochrome", and a few other words, and a whole conspiracy theory was off limit. Pleroma can do it pretty easily, Mastodon can't.
I don't care of the server. It is made of silicon, no different from the others. What I care are bad arguments. Which I will block forbidding some key word. Even worst, using Pleroma I can do substitution. If people write the name of some political leader, and they get replaced by "Pizza" on the message, it's so ridiculous it will become a joke.
@mike Thanks :) Will check my own block list and add them if they’re not already there.
