Hey fellow admins, here's something you can do to make the fediverse massively better for anyone who's a woman and/or Black: ban "reply guys", mansplainers, and sea lions (https://wondermark.com/c/1062/) on your server. You know what I mean. Make a rule against it. Encourage other people to report it. Go into the comments of a popular post and proactively block or ban the people engaging in this behaviour. If a particular server is known to be bad for this because the admins tolerate this behaviour from their users, preemptively mute or block it server-wide. Consider public shaming.

Just because it's not outright harassment or slurs doesn't make it okay. It still actively drives people away.

If this is an undue burden for you or your moderators, your server is too big. Stop accepting new users and add more moderators.

looks like some new fucking bullshit for people to block on their instances:

User-Agent: FediBigData/1.0 (research crawler; https://github.com/example/fedi-big-data)

It's signed by https://81.27.105.14:8080/actor#main-key which is frankly fucking bizarre and doesn't work anyway.

But you should probably block it regardless.

If you know people on social.cologne who aren’t Zionists/genocide supporters please let them know that they cannot see posts by me and others who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people as our instances and accounts are blocked by their Zionist/pro-genocide server.

I can only assume Zionist/pro-genocide servers will not be allowed according to mastodon.social’s new server covenant and suggested as safe spaces to newcomers to the fediverse (including Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid) but it would be good to have official confirmation of this.

It’s time for people (and mastodon servers) to be unapologetically unambiguous about which side of history they stand on.

#Fediblock is being abused for harassment and revenge.

Most of you know "Jimmy Truth" who has been suspended by almost every Mastodon instance so far for harassment, misinformation, transphobia, fascism, religious intolerance, and every other rule you can think of.

His new tactic is to recommend fediblocks against instances that kick him off, ironically, listing through projection the very reasons he gets suspended.

I know there are some admins who take these Fediblocks on faith, but don't become his tool for his revenge and harassment and just start blocking instances because they have the hashtag.

The ADL has long been a target of #Nazis and the far right.

Then by horseshoe theory: for an antizionist like Fabio, anyone associated with that organization falls into the category of "Jews I don't like" and immediately becomes a target for libel, earning scorn like "Nazi" and "terrorist," even fantasies of "Nuremberg trials" for the crime of being proudly and unapologetically Jewish!

Also, #Fediblock for ban evasion (previously manganiello.social and manganiello.online)

@ShiitakeToast Might be useful to post receipts on #fediblock (this post is unlisted so won't show up there) since such replies aren't widely visible and thus serve primarily as harassment of the OP.

@liaizon "the thing you probably care a bit more about is that it has no real verification". I'm sure #FediBlock does indeed care about this.

#FediBlock this instance. This person followed me and I think there’s others worse on that instance https://social.sengeis.priv.at/@F/115938659187107928

their warrant canary hasn't been updated for two months so it's safe to assume they've been compromised

[thanks bean + sammy for pointing this out]

Dear @quillmatiq from what I am gathering from your comments elsewhere is that it is possible to block only the Bluesky part of the ATProto network from being bridged with @bsky.brid.gy and leave BlackSky and other independent AT instances? Could you go into detail on on a procedure for that? This could be a powerful pro-federation response in addition to making a statement on ICE and Bluesky.
