Is some commie glowie trying to subvert our server from within?
Why am I seeing pedos and lesbians in my timeline?! 🤢 🤮
I saw s2 users, one was a lesbian and the other is name ethical pedophile...
I blocked both of them but I was shocked they were in my feed.
I assumed that someone was trying to get our server banned by bringing fake accounts because who the FUCK calls themselves an ethical pedophile? That's an oxymoron
@FailurePersonified @basedbagel what do you mean?
It was a wild time but over time moderation got better and the scourge moved on mostly, or became insulated.
@FailurePersonified @basedbagel I'm still super new to all this stuff I just post and reply I don't really go outta my way to follow people or anything
@FailurePersonified @basedbagel I don't even know what that means hahah
So if your administrator decided the people on my instance where, “deplorable” human beings they could make it so you would never see anything from me, and I wouldn’t get notifs or see your posts.
It was originally intended to stop illegal content; however a good majority of (namely mastadon instances) have liberally employed that tool to stop genuine discussion on certain topics.
This instance that im on, “chudbuds.lol” have definitely suffered as a result of being instance blocked by multiple servers.
Kind of shameful isn’t it? Making it so that users can’t see or talk to people the admin doesn’t like? Though thats people for you
@FailurePersonified @basedbagel ahhhh okokok we use merovingian.club basically for everyone who's red pilled and based
I hope you enjoy your stay on this pretty neat tech!
If you’re of the based variety; I think you’ll find in time a good amount of nice people here.
@FailurePersonified @basedbagel I haven't had anything to complain about yet
And as bagel mentioned, you can always block a person or instance block (which as long as you aren’t admin, only blocks those users of a server from talking to you; this is good for if there’s an instance dedicated to posting certain types of content you see as reprehensible). 😄
Though y’all have definitely come around at a time where, the network has matured so that is nice. You see less dog shit. Though I do miss certain parts of the fedi. It used to be rare to see that you’ve been instances blocked… now it’s common as admins abuse their power (incompetent ledditors who think they actually matter)
