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 Some good sense here, Shannon. I'm in the process of getting established at Mastodon, whilst keeping an eye on Twitter. I've no intention of indulging in conspiracy theories. It would be surprising though, if the right aren't looking to exploit this situation for all they're worth.
