Dear open registration servers, each day so far this week, I've opened my Mastodon client, only to see slurs, swastikas, and death threat videos of "me" being hanged.

This is the Nazi bar problem. They're standing on the curb and your doors are wide open. Sure, you're kicking them out after they walk in and punch a few customers, but is that really how you want your bar to be known? As the place that apologizes *after* the Nazi assaults you?

With the current US election results rolling in, it looks like we're in for another predictable wave of butthurt GravySeals aching to own the libs in a sad attempt to bring meaning to their poor little wannabe white power lives.

It's time to close registrations and step up moderation to protect the communities you helped grow.

Racism is chasing Black folx off Fedi.
Queerphobia is chasing LGBTQ+ folx off Fedi.
Sexism is chasing women off Fedi.

Do you want another incel white boys club like Twitter? Because inaction is how you get there.

#FediAdmin, #FediMods, don't be a #NaziBar.

@alice I'm really appreciating the work you're doing to keep the Mastodon community accountable to the principles we're supposed to be based on. Great stuff, please keep pushing on this lever, I'm liking the progress your efforts are creating. A healthy community is the most important thing on a social media network like this.

@alice I don't understand why any server runs open registrations. The answer oh but we're a really big instance and we have lots of moderators to remove them... 馃
But if you have enough moderators (you think) to manage them, why on earth don't you moderate *beforehand*
Unless that's a lie, you don't have enough moderators and your *only* priority is to "get bigger"
