I've done a long thread about this on Twitter, and I'm not going to do it again here because I have jobs to do, but I've been experiencing massive hate speech and abuse on Mastodon since yesterday. With MASSIVE content warnings for EVERYTHING if you want to get a sense of the problems we have and how important moderation is, you can see caps here: http://plasticbag.org/mastodon

I cannot content warning this stuff enough though.

This is awful.
I am surprised that some of these very well-known troll farm instances aren't blocked on mastodon.cloud already. Big red flag for that instance IMO.
