    Fedi Moderation: Several servers Currently Dealing with a Spam Attack [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

    Kind of swamped with reports right now.

    Some sort of has taken over a bunch of old accounts, some of which have been here since 2022. This isn't as simple as mass banning, as some of these are clearly legit accounts that have been compromised, but we are working through the backlog and actively working on some features that will allow us to quickly handle this. These will be released to the community when they are working.

    This affects all servers run by our current Admin...
    - TechHub.Social
    - Aus.Social
    - Mastodon.Cloud
    ...I haven't had time to check if any other servers are affected, but the Admin is still investigating the method. We will send that along too.

    Sorry for all the coming out of our servers right now. We're working on it, and we ask that y'all be patient and recognize this is a temporary result of some sort of attack, and is taking time to sort out.

    I haven't seen us there, but I wanted to make sure this was stated in case a puts us on or over this: this is not intentional, and we are trying to fix this right now.

    Until then, .

        Is it more important that Fediverse instances can have different moderation policies, or that all Fediverse instances have the same moderation policies?

          I have addressed this idea before in some detail although I don't remember where to find my screed. Here's the gist of my ancient long-winded musings.

          0. The first line of moderation should not be the instance admin. Each user account should be able to moderate mentions of their ID, or replies to their comments.

          1. The top poster of a comment thread should be able to moderate all reply comments under that thread.

          2. Instance admins should only delete posts that are clearly designed to offend, hurt, or viciously attack, bully, harass, gaslight, annoy etc. but should never delete a post simply on ideological grounds or heated but honest disagreement or debate. Telling the difference is very simple in almost all cases: tone and mindless repetition being the biggest giveaways of the respondent's intent. If it becomes an unwanted or unproductive argument the top poster should be able to quash replies.

          3. Users should be able to click a button to block and entire thread regardless of who posts to it.

          These things are not a major problem for me since I'm on a simple instance and I can add users to my personal blacklist via CLI. It would be nice to see this kind of stuff as standard, basic button functions in activitypub and fediverse since not everyone wants to run an instance and use CLI scripts to moderate.

            Right, fediverse, let me know what you think. Long-form comments also welcome.

            Mastodon instance moderators should…

              Folks, just a quick warning: If you’re against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, avoid mastodon.online.

              They deleted two of Geri’s posts.

              Geri is a wonderful activist and an inspiration from the UK who has braved arrest to shine a light on Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

              Do give her a follow on her new account as she lost quite a few followers during the migration.

              Also, to our friends in Gaza, please don’t create accounts on this server.
