Mastodawn

Someone asked, "Who gets to decide what gets moderated on the Fediverse? And who decides what's seen or unseen?"

You do!

If you don't like someone, block them!

If you don't like an instance, block it!

If you don't like your instance, leave it!

If no instance is to your liking, start your own!

If you don't like other instances, de-federate them!

If you don't like federation itself, turn it off!

Ultimately, the Fediverse gives you the freedom of association—exercise it as you see fit.

@atomicpoet well said! and admittedly it is kinda fun and satisfying to play god for a change and block entire domains.

@atomicpoet anyone who thinks that Mastodon is all sunshine and roses — thank your admins, since that means they're doing a *great* job!

because trust me, there are certainly some cesspools out there...

@jake @atomicpoet Sure, but someone has pointed out, there is a certain normative pressure to isolate and defederate these cesspools.
