Twitter was never a healthy "public square" for most of us. Let's not rewrite history while eulogizing the hellsite.
Twitter was a frightening battleground where we managed barely to claw out an uneasy existence amidst the worst violent neo-Nazi extremists who constantly published our home addresses, threatened our kids' lives, and sent hordes of racist trolls into our mentions.
The same principles that allowed us to survive uneasily on Twitter will be required here in the #fediverse. Community defense, thoughtful pressure on moderation policies, and eternal vigilance.
There are no safe spaces but those we make safe through constant effort. We keep us safe.

@chadloder EXACTLY!
Folx worked their asses off to carve out a piece of sanctuary in the midst of chaos and under constant threat

That’s what I think most of us are mourning…it’s like when you get your sweet tea just right and then someone refills your glass and now it’s back to work

RE: Safety
On twitter we had apps to copy each others' blocklists.

On M, so far, I figured out that if you copy the long blocklist from a well-moderated instance, you can upload it through your profile>import panels but you have to reduce it to the below-illustrated format.

Might also have to name the file "blocked_domains.csv" (maybe).

I tested and this works.

Would appreciate if anybody has a faster way. Example of the format:

dumbasses.site
idiotposters.com
momsbasementdweller.social
wanabefash.loser
maggots.birdshite
