OK #NAFO #fellas I think we should have an open conversation about what we do when we encounter #vatniks on #mastodon

If we bonk with memes etc. do we risk amplifying them and giving them a foothold?

If #moderation is meant to be much more effective here, should we just report and move on?

@maelduin13 @insights @Makhno_N @mcfellaface @Nadinabbott @IndrekLobus Moderate. Vatniks, by their very nature, tend to violate most of the rules of civil society - angry, harassing, misinformation-spreading genocide-supporters. Moderation is the appropriate bonking stick.

They'll retreat to dark corners of the internet and shout into the darkness.

IMHO If some small insignificant vatnik supporter appears  , I prefer not to feed him and not advertise for him.

On the contrary, if it is a well-known politician, businessman or artist, etc., there is no choice but to start Bonk Bonk. Where is the limit? It's obviously individual and emotional matter to judge...

@maelduin13 @insights @nafnlaus @Makhno_N @mcfellaface @Nadinabbott @IndrekLobus if moderation means ignoring them, why are we here? We should shut down all our accounts, twitter, mastodon and sleep well ? The initial NAFO idea was to interrupt their stories, speeches, lies!

@MeidasRomi @maelduin13 @nafnlaus @Makhno_N @mcfellaface @Nadinabbott @IndrekLobus
Agreed. Just not to advertise for some smaller vatniks and help them grow accidentally...

And don't forget there is #fundraising idea for #Ukraine defence 🇺🇦 (especially #Georgian #Legion 🇬🇪) what we should promote.

@maelduin13 @insights @nafnlaus @Makhno_N @mcfellaface @IndrekLobus I alerted one, spreading obvious lies,blocked, moved on. It’s the norm of the place.
