Is anyone else getting many random follows from user123 at gtmastodon.online or mastodon.gtmastodon.online? (The numbers vary.) I'm going to defederate with this instance unless anyone out there knows what they're up to.
Furry.lgbt was almost instantly harassed off of fedi for launching a blocklist.
Jorts.horse has an 88% negative rating on TBS, because two queer people on that queer instance decided to stand up against a queerphobic harassment campaign launched against furry.lgbt on the #Fediblock hashtag.
I was never going to like furry.lgbt's blocklist. I was never going to like any version of Fedicate that wasn't opt-in.
But you can't pretend what's happening here isn't happening here.

This dude just compared discussing abortion pills to a bomb threat.
What the fuck.
I'm going to be honest with you.
This is an interesting concept, but I am seeing a bunch of problems with it, and not seeing a reason to use this over the existing moderator report system. In fact, I worry that people will use this instead of the report button, which is already a massive problem with #FediBlock, along with the trolling and harassment that goes on with that tag.
This seems to just be FediBlock with extra steps.
I also want to note, if this is only negative reports, you will have the drawback of some of the most popular and/or insightful people having the most reports, because that's who's getting that traffic. If you are really dead set on doing this, you really should have a system that lets people say a person is good, like that they are credible or make good content, so that those negative reports can be outweighed by people vouching for the person.
And once again, that's a problem with FediBlock too: we don't need more tools for shaming. We need more deescalation.
Reports are now added as complaints about the user and are displayed on the users profile. More reports on you, the less trust people may have.

Thank you
I lurk on #fediblock and got drawn into the drama
I sent a note of encouragement to the dev because I was so enraged at the abuse she was getting
That her project had issues is fine. That some people engaged in constructive criticism is fine
But this abuser @ginny thinks it is her right to be personally hateful?
Maddening
Utterly unacceptable
Ginny should be kicked from the Fediverse
People wonder why we don't have more devs
People like Ginny are the reason
Hello Everyone,
After having a lot messages from people yesterday about why we should not have a block system we are going to refactoring our reports system into a more positive system into the future.
Instead of reporting a negative thing someone has done we might instead add a positive someone done instead.
This will help make the Fediverse more positive instead of negative.
#Fediblock @ ginny@social.ginny.today for harassing and threatening a Fediverse developer.

Fucking ridiculous.
Grow up. This is why Fedi usability sucks.
Ginny McQueen :inhaler: (@ginny@social.ginny.today)
Listen, @Fedicate@mastodon.social : you are a benighted buffoon who should not have access to a computer, you are a danger to the community and society at large, and if you continue down this path only bad things will followGinny.Today
Glad to say after 3 days of struggling I've been able to get up Fedicate.org my website for a fediverse database along with information that I will expand on over time.
Give me feedback as well as use the cyrptpad forms on the site to suggest new information including FediBlock reports to the site.

The loops.video instance has been submitted to #FediBlock with the reason being outlined below. I can't say I disagree, the terms of service presents a serious problem for user content rights, and this should be addressed before federation of loops.
Otherwise for the safety of your users I would highly suggest that instance admins defederate loops immediately once it comes online (assuming the TOS is not changed first)

loops.video - phil@bajsicki:~$
Been a while. I’ve mostly been posting on the Fedi, but I feel like this is a rather important topic that requires attention. Recently @dansup has been posting a bunch about loops.video, a federated alternative to Instagram/ TikTok.bajsicki.com
And she's using people calling her out for her transphobia and ableist slurs as justification to target queer communities on #Fediblock.
I don't get how anybody can see what @ErickaSimone is doing here, and not think that the purpose of Fediblock is to enable this sort of hatred and abuse against (primarily) trans people on fedi.
Meanwhile, a #PSA to all #fediverse admins, especially to the server I use in @SDF@social.sdf.org @SDF
You should really block Threads by now if you haven't done so already as they're going to inject ads into their platform.
