#fediblock tenforward.social
The admin packetcat[@]tenforward.social (aka guinan[@]tenforward.social) has spent the last few days deadnaming a particular trans woman, and issuing death threats and misogynistic insults towards trans women generally.
This is in addition to spamming the fediblock tag with 30+ posts targetting mostly queer instances.

I would appreciate anybody who feels safe sharing this, or privately bringing it to the attention of their instance admin.

I'll write a longer thread later, but just a quick warning for instance admins. The tenforward.social admin @guinan@tenforward.social / @packetcat@tenforward.social is having a bit of a meltdown at the moment.Mastodon
The event that played out yesterday in the #FediBlock tag is illustrative of why instance admins generally find the tag useless. What was conceived as a tag to highlight extremely blatant dangers has devolved into personal feuds and grievances, watering down the entire project.

![One admin was supportive of #FediBlock in its early days,
but what I found is after years of watching #FediBlock is that the signal-to-noise ratio is extremely low. It is almost impossible [to determine if a recommendation is justified]. I’ve repeatedly spent like a dozen hours tracing through the partial view of replies because everybody’s blocking each other. Everybody’s deleting posts, 90% of the discussion is [vague references], there are no links, and I’m trying to get to the ground truth, and finally I find the thing. And it’s like, oh, this is a relatively mild, friendly article. It doesn’t sound at all like the #FediBlock discussion. And so it was very strange to see that as the defederation criterion.
So we essentially don’t respond to random posts calling for proactive blocks unless it’s something really obvious like CSAM or hate domains. And those are easy criteria to act on. And even then, we get so little harassment after we blocked the big ones, which happened in the first few months.](https://friendica.hellquist.eu/photo/preview/640/3196139 "One admin was supportive of #FediBlock in its early days,

Ok so meso@the.asbestos.cafe posted the harassment file named «r9k the audiobook».
This is a recording of us at our most vulnerable, so maybe think of it as a form of «revenge porn». (Trying to talk about this in Esperanto is simply not possible. Do, jen la #krokodili ado.)

#FediBlock 8124@mastodon.social for harassing anyone who describes Israel as the genocidal, apartheid, colonial entity that it is, and describing the type of election interference & harassment by AIPAC on Israel's behalf, mostly against Black congres…Distributed AI Research Community
8124 @ mastodon social is a genocide denier who searches terms and hashtags to harass people who say isra3l is committing war crimes, as in this morally indefensible reply:
