Hey @FediTips@social.growyourown.services@neondystopia.world, I've been thinking lately about drawing up some documentation for folk to use on the Fediverse. @xaetacore@neondystopia.world and I have noticed lately that there is a rather toxic culture surrounding #fediblock and have wanted to write some guides to help the users on instances curate their own experience on the Fediverse rather than relying solely on the moderation of their instance to do so. We hope to supplement and improve existing moderation efforts rather than replace them entirely. It is our hope that by prompting a shift in the responsibility of curating content from instances to their users. Instance operators and their moderation won't feel compelled to act as an arbiter of philosophy by selecting which content may and may not be seen beyond the scope of generally agreed upon illegal or egregious content. Instead, offering more user agency by providing the tooling, framework and guidance through which they can curtail undesirable content without sorting to suspending entire instances at the expense of the users on there that have done nothing wrong. Would you be interested in promoting or boosting such efforts? #FediAdmin, #MastoAdmin, #ServerAdmin, #Moderation, #Moderation, #Moderators, #FediMods, #MastoMods, #TrustAndSafety, #SocialMedia, #FediMeta, #Fedi, #Federation, #Fediverse, #Fediblock, #Sociology, #Blocklist.

RE: https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/116612907554964438 #MastoAdmin #MastoMods community should be on the alert for hijacked accounts. We have observed some signals of dormant accounts suddenly being used in the past two or three weeks.

Something I believe may be warrant discussion is how each instance is beholden to the rules of another by virtue of federation. Something that has given way to vibes-based reporting which our administrator has been unable to act on. This has, unfortunately, resulted in the slander of our instance. Branded as allegedly being "anti-moderation" and "bigoted" for choosing not to punish their users over frivolous reports or engage in the fediblock of the more fringe or controversial instances on here ourselves. So Fedizens, what are your thoughts?
