Dear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.

If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.

@caffeneko iā€™m hesitant to encourage block lists but would if there was a reliable and trustworthy body with appropriate checks that could manage one designed specifically to protect against hate speech.

@dell My guess is that with the # fediblock tag, that server moderators who follow it use it to research reported servers and add them to the block list for their own instance.
