@Empiricism@scicomm.xyz @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org @stanstallman@sfba.social @jdp23@indieweb.social @mergerson@mastodon.social thanks… that's a pretty big lapse of moderator judgment; I don't know what the dogwhistle is supposed to be there, seems a pretty bad faith or at least ignorant report. Proper moderation is gonna be a big question mark for the Mastodon federation. Difficult at best for well-funded monolithic corporate entities, I fear decentralization introduces more complications than mitigations.

@matunos@mastodon.social I was confused how that happened too. What I’ve read elsewhere is that the bad-faith report claimed that “white men who run the world” was the antisemitic dog whistle. Which, wow, what a way to drop the moderation ball.

@matunos@mastodon.social @Empiricism@scicomm.xyz @nafnlaus@fosstodon.org @stanstallman@sfba.social @jdp23@indieweb.social @mergerson@mastodon.social One way to combat this would be to see if people involved with the #blackbirds on Twitter could get together and create a Mastodon instance focused on Black Mastodon users. There is a lack of diversity in tech overall. In my opinion establishing an instance for and by black users would help establish social media norms and help educate other instances on proper content moderation on issues like racism.
