Tabletop.social has been update and is now running Mastodon 4.5.0.

That means that we have "Quote toot" enabled.

Sadly they also come enabled by default, and you would need to disable it yourself if you want to avoid people using it without your consent.

Head to the Preferences -> "Posting defaults".
The 2nd drop down "Who can quote" then can to be set to "Just me".

❗ Don't forget to hit the save button at the top of the page for the change top take effect.

You can quote this toot.

I emailed and got confirmation that the data was removed

Tech people that want to give us searchable toots, hear my complain.

I'd love to believe that you want to make this place better.
Start by improving the moderation screen, here is why

Ways it is broken:
* No full text search on the account name, even locally (eg you cannot search bits of the name, only what it starts with)
* Same for the other fields
* Inexistant sorting options (like none
* Cannot search the bio at all
* Nothing around social graph
* (and more)

#search

#fediblock falgn0n AT librenet.co.za for usual bs (antivax, conspiracy theory, etc.)

I think that's the admin, so the whole instance and their peertube into the blocklist they go

Turns out there is an easy way to figure out who's ok with nazi iconography.

As an admin, go to this URI /admin/custom_emojis?utf8=✓&shortcode=pepe&by_domain= and find who belongs in your block list

#fediblock

We had a bit of a back log of instance to block.
It took us a bit of time to get round to do them, but we are finally up to date.
(See the screenshot of the 24 new instances we blocked)

There are your usual freespeach activist, your nazi, your terf, your kin hater, etc. they can all trebuchet themselves to the sun.

Every admin that come and whine about free speech will see their instance blocked, thank you.

(kudos to all the other admins doing the hard work)

The list of instance is in the 1st image.

The 2nd image is an example of bad toot.
The homophobic toot will not be copied, ask for receipt.
