What's it with people reporting every single person they dont like.. 
Please, stop with that.
This is not #Twitter. Please use features like mute or block if you don't like people but stop reporting otherwise I'll start banning people who keep reporting for nothing 
I'm trying to keep things running with so many new people and it's such a waste of time to hear whatever you don't like
Otherwise go waste Elon's time, not mine
Why people RUN into centralization??? I offten see that people recommending new #fediverse members to support their instance owners with donations and that's fine, i do recommend it too because la...
@stux would it help if there's a list of 'report abusers' in the admin?
Where you can see a list of accounts that have reported but that an admin declined? Or such?
I guess I could make that as a PR for mastodon. Because I've been seeing this "abuse of moderators energy" too...
@paul Not really angry 
More a bit frustrated I have to solve 70+ mostly "i dont like this" reports after waking up haha
I got a report from you instance just like that lol
@selea Only but one?
I woke up with 70+ 
A site I was on had secret moderators who would remove the troll postings without needing to bother the site manager. It worked beautifully.
Then some troll types tricked the manager into getting rid of that system in favor of 'community moderation', which is easily gamed, and the site went from being a safe space for wide-ranging discussions to a utter hellhole in less than three weeks as all the decent people left rather than put up with the unstoppable trolling.
From your instance - only one :P
@stux Not to add yet another task to your list but would it help to add this information prominently to the about page as part of the instance policies? (As an educational device.)
e.g., Something along the lines of: βIf you donβt want to hear from someone, please block or mute them. The βreportβ feature is for reporting abuse only. We define abuse as listed in the server terms here <link>β
seems to be a lot of
- learned helplessness
- real ignorance (of where the self-help tools are)
- desire to control what others say instead of what they themselves hear.
@stux that's the snowflake way just report those you disagree with. There should be rules against it wasting admin time.
Thanks for the post..
@stux "otherwise I'll start banning people who keep reporting for nothing"
This should be standard policy and announced near reporting buttons.
I feel your pain. And then there are reports with nothing in it.
What do they expect I can do with such reports?!
Hear hear...π
@stux that crowd is always pissed off at someone. Right now they are pissed off with Elon because he won't let Alex Jones and Trump back on his platform. Something about free speech all.
Anyway thanks for all you do, and understand
"this to shall pass"
@stux Hey - there's this guy in my office. He's kind of irritating and chews really loudly in the next cubicle. Can you come to my workplace and talk to HR about having him fired?
Sorry you have to deal with all the nonsense like that - and thanks for doing all you do.
