Hey Mastodon...

This is just a friendly reminder that if you see any type of bullying, harassment, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or casteism, REPORT THAT SHIT AND BLOCK THEM!

If you see any incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies, REPORT THAT SHIT AND BLOCK THEM!

If you see any dog-piling or doxxing of other users, REPORT THAT SHIT AND BLOCK THEM!

Do NOT tolerate anything above. EVER.

Let's keep Mastodon safe for EVERYONE.

@anywayCOYS Mastodon is many things to many people.

But "dead platform" is certainly not one of those things unless you're doing something wrong.

@Mrfunkedude As the admin of Skastodon, I will always boost any message like this.

I will take any and all reports seriously. I will not be like that other site and say "ho-hum. I didn't see any violations."

We've been really fortunate in that I haven't seen any of that so far. But that doesn't mean it'll never happen.

Report. Block. I promise I'll take care of the rest.

@Mrfunkedude

I agree. Though, if you are dealing with the kind of trolls who like to argue, "report and mute" may be a better option so as not to alert them that you have reacted (and so they won't know exactly who reported them)

Can save you from retaliation, and maybe they waste time talking to no one instead of moving on to drive someone else nuts.

@Mrfunkedude Does "I want to punch a fascist" qualify? I'm really asking; the "incitement to violence" and "violent ideology" stuff isn't always crystal clear...at least, to me.

@Mrfunkedude

> block them
> for everyone

for everyone who? for a bunch of people that think they're offended? what about speech freedom, differences of minds?

you need to say "tolerate EVERYONE and don't allow your emotions take your objectivity down".

Show threadMr. Funk E. Dude 🍑💨Dec 28, 2022

@nitrogenez Standard rules for most Instances.

Your own instance says "Dont promote violence, racism and/or discrimination towards other people of other ethnical backgrounds or sexual orientation"

So which part did you have a problem with?

Show threadAndrij NitrogenesisDec 28, 2022

@Mrfunkedude I have problem with these specifications about "who you need to not harass".

Why not just say "don't offend anyone"?
Short, understandable, and right.

Or this all is a sort of selective speech freedom or something?

@nitrogenez @Mrfunkedude

The speech freedoms and differences of mind of fascists are not being hindered. They can post, and be praised or blocked, and/or defederated or whatever. Things happen on a much more granular level here, and are not reflective of an autocratic structure. It's the people voting, not some jackass owner.

Tolerance is an individual thing, it's what's being exercise in my previous paragraph.

I don't tolerate fascists. You'll find little support for such here.

It's actually quite objective.

Show threadKari PerttulaDec 28, 2022
@nitrogenez @Mrfunkedude freedom of speech is declared on UN human rights declaration. There it allso Say, that protection of human rights does not protect your actions that are against human rights of other people. so it is not ok to tolerate The intolerance.
