Yesterday I posted about worries re. moderation at mastodon.social/.online:

And asked the community to feed back about whether they'd like to do nothing, 'silence', or 'defederate'. The response was almost entirely in favour of silencing.

Today, especially after noticing that those two instances DO federate with an instance that hosts fascist content, we went ahead with that silence:

Thank you, .art, for supporting a solid no-nazi stance. <3

@Curator I'm new to these situations, can I ask a question? I know little about how reporting and coordinating silence/blocks works.

When reports about these users and instances happen, do .social/.online get those reports?

Do we know if those instances have seen this and chose to ignore, or could they not know yet? Do we know if their admins have been alerted directly?

@chartier I have a screenshot from a discussion in their Discord where Gargron is talking about the block list of another instance saying that mstdn.io shouldn't be on there. A bunch of admins of other servers reply to him that they absolutely should because they're hosting fash. He knows. He's very aware. :)
