Crap. This is disappointing and disheartening. Please note that the homophobia in this message is very, very extreme and people may find it upsetting. I certainly did.

@susan_lanigan I know that it's possible to block entire instances. I don't think that will fly on mastodon.ie

@froodie probably not, but Ian also mentioned that the server he joined said no racism or homophobia. I've never seen anything that bad on twitter and I've seen plenty of awful stuff.

@susan_lanigan omg 😲 that's horrible 😢
So far haven't seen anything like that on the Irish instance #irishtodon #irishmastodon #irishtwitter
Hope I don't

@Debhruin yeah - I really did feel the warning was necessary - and then put another one just in case! It's beyond yikes territory.
