Please stop reporting official accounts! Also add posts with the report otherwise it's a puzzle for admins and mods.

If you don't like someone please block the person and do not report them!

This costs us all extra time that we rather spend on keeping the servers up

Thank you ❀️

@QuantumAspect @stux My experience with Twitter is reporting actual conduct violations and them doing nothing about it.

@stux @Ch1po Stux is from Masto.ai, his edicts don’t apply to Mastodon.social. Lots of admins are still happy to take reports so they can defederate and strike at the root :)

@stux when I tried to report (my first over here) I highlighted the toots that I thought were in violation but the "next" button was greyed out doi had to hit "skip". I'll try to send a screenshot if I can...

>official accounts
is Mastodon really?
Show threadMatt WilcoxNov 9, 2022

@stux ☝️ This is another area where the Mastodon app could be improved.

On first run of this feature; walk a user through it. What does the admin of the instance think *should* be reported? *How* should it be reported? What doesn't warrant reporting?

First use tutorials are a smart idea for everyone involved.

@mattwilcox @stux Perhaps we should acclimatise ourselves with the environment that has been built before saying it should be change to imitate The Other Place

@PeterMacMillan Already have, continue to do so, this isn't a criticism of anything. This is a "how do we make a UI so that it helps everyone to help themselves and each other, while lowering labour costs of running things *just as they are now*".

@stux What is an "official" account?

But yeah, reporting is for accounts that violated rules of _their_ instance. So checking that instance's rules to see if they actually were violated makes sense.

Show threadDidierNov 10, 2022
@stux No, don’t block: ignore! You don’t like the person so YOU don’t want to see him/her/it anymore. If you block, the person can’t see your texts either so he/she/it can’t learn from you anymore and will be more and more in a bubble ! #ThisIsNotTwitter πŸ˜‰

@ON8SD On Twitter, if you just β€œignore” someone, they can still add comments to anything you post, thus you allow them to pollute threads that your followers may see. Is that not a problem on Mastodon?

@stux I tried to report one account that was harassing a friend.
Clicked on report... and off it went. No way to say why I was reporting it.
Show threadAllen StenhausMar 1, 2023

@stux Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by an official account? Are people reporting admins or something?

Though, regardless of how official an account is, if they are breaking the rules of their instance, is that not a valid reason to report someone?

I apologize if I am offending in any way. I simply do not understand & think I may be missing some critical context here. Learning more about this may be critical in running my own instance if/when it grows.

Thank you.
