#DisabledSocial #fediblock Concerning the harasser JimmyTruth:
1. We can block the IP address of him to stop him from signing up here, but we cannot stop him from chosing any server and signing up there. Mods in other servers need to do that.
2. We have a script running to suspend ASAP. This relies on assistance from other servers to update the shared spreadsheet.
Mastodon's coding doesn't have reliable antispam measures that fit this sceneraio. Other servers don't have better spam measures.
Can the people working on shutting down the JimmyTruth nonsense work together? Where we find a safe, private way to discuss methods of moderation and protection?
For the impersonations: most have JT parodies in intro/bio, and are brand new accounts. Verify the instance doesn't match the real person's account so the right one is reported.
