SUZI saw someone say you can follow a hashtag - but I can't figure out how. And I assume following a hashtag shows you all tagged posts (as long as the source instance isn't blocked)?
Tony Miller@425suzanne I don't know if it is doable on the version of Mastodon that we are on. I was attempting to figure it out earlier and gave up. Apparently 4.0 might be what we need...
@BeardedRogue Ohhhhhhhhh. That makes sense.
Scrolling Board Games, I just realized I'll have to start blocking accounts all over again too.
Everyone likes board games, even misogynistic racist pieces of shit. And they're migrating to Mastodon and using hashtags too. Sigh.
Host@425suzanne @BeardedRogue we do try hard to make sure those are not available in people's feed here.
(and its not just the racists we are blocking)
We will absolutelly act on any report, and investigate it.
So when you come accross anything and anyone making you feel uncomfortable, be sure to hit that report button.
@host @BeardedRogue Oh for sure. I hope it didn't come across a criticism of the moderation. That's not the problem in this situation at all.
@425suzanne @BeardedRogue sorry, I didn't mean to be sounding like I was telling you off or anything.
it was meant to be a encouragement to help keep the place in a good shape by sharing with us any thing you might find as this place is by no means perfect.
Apologies if I made it sounds accusatory
@host @BeardedRogue LOL not at all. We're both so apologetic when I suspect neither of us were upset at all. I have full confidence in this instances dedication to creating a safe space.
It's just that I don't think mods have that influence over other instances and their users' use of hashtags and how those appear in searches. And that's ok. I can block individual users as I need to.
I haven't seen any related problems on this instance.
@425suzanne @BeardedRogue 😁
glad you called it out otherwise we would have been locked in an infinite apologies loop here.
I appreciate your trust, and we will do our best to be worthy of it.

Spencer@host @BeardedRogue @425suzanne As an overapologetic person myself, I know that infinite loop all too well!
KevMeeple@BeardedRogue @425suzanne I’ve already blocked someone who I had also blocked on the bird app.
EvilTofu@425suzanne You can turn on `require follow requests` under `preferences > profile > appearance` for manual follow approval.
