Hey there… Thanks to someone here, I’ve decided to setup a masto.host instance. Probably not going to be here long… I do need to sort some stuff out…
@[email protected] It wasn’t really even close to that. But one I know and really miss seeing in this timeline kind of sucks. But another instance, I got blocked, because… Well I criticized the blind use of block lists, and tried to discuss what can be problematic about that.
That instance has had other cases where blocks have been personal, and knocking connections blindly.
@[email protected] mastodon.social wasn’t that bad. It was just historically that size of instance, it’s very difficult to have good moderation. And stuff was taking more than 90 days for some stuff.
I gave it that kind of time, because being a big instance, it meant that it was harder to justify blocking the instance.
@[email protected] .social mastodon.social. Sorry that wasn’t clear.
@[email protected] Yeah, I get enough already with instances that shouldn’t really end up being sources of that kind of hate…
@[email protected] Hey, no problem with being confused. I was just letting you know of what the situation was here. No criticism, no suggesting anyone do anything in any direction. Though honestly, I’d be interested to see if Threads might be worth considering unblocking. Or .social (unrelated).
@[email protected] Oh, I meant my instance is basically a single user instance. And blocked at the instance level.
There may be reason to reverse that, but it was based on activity that hit my instance, not just political.
@[email protected] Essentially single user instance… Well, less “single user” than I expected, as there is “activity” from one account as of about 2 weeks ago.
@[email protected] I get pissed at people posting AI art, but honestly it’s mostly the people who they don’t really get why it’s problematic.
I keep getting the “transphobic” thing. Which I go, “um what even are you talking about,” in part because I am aware it could be that some stuff could come across as transphobic.
Woke up to that today.
I’ve also had the “ableist” thing as well. The main case, was when I said, “don’t assume someone is being malicious…” citing Hanon’s Razor.
