@MaryAustinBooks report, block AND disseminate word.

Interferon.

@faraiwe Good analogy! 😂

@MaryAustinBooks you get flagged at mastodon social for doing that, ask me how I know.

This toot is also interferon.

@faraiwe Wait, what? They flag you for posting a screenshot of obvious spam?

@faraiwe Why on earth do they do that? Or is it even worth asking?

@MaryAustinBooks you tell me.

Mostly, I suspect that is because "moderation" in that server is a mafia like thing, where buddies of the moderators can toss someone in the fire, if they get butthurt about something said about them.
