I do consider federation important. Single point of failure and all that

test 2 YOUVE BEEN HACKED

Because you get people with old Firefox forks calling you names because your website looks bad on their 3 years old browser

I disagree, good fedi instances dont act like that. There will be fedi dramas, but thats another different thing

Sometimes its someone being annoying. And you will want them blocked. But other admins may not! And that’s their right! Not everyone can be right unlike you.

Thats the limiting factor of a blocklist. Its a good thing to know who other people has blocked. But you not always know why nor gravity

Most of the times, reports arent as clear as “aryan soldier 1488 at 14words” (how many dog whistles can you spot)

“I as an administrator trust this server and they trust me too so reports SELECTED BY THEIR ADMIN TEAM shall be forwarded to my admin team”
that way, the initial case would get said user (or server) fully blocked quite quickly.

Instead of “ive done this you should do it too” a better system would be “Ive seen this, take a look and act as you see fit”

Blocklists are a patch, and have other social problems. I think they are useful but here is the deal:
A blocklist is “ive done this you should do it too”
A true fix for fedi would be a method of sharing reports with trusted servers

Reply control ONCE ITS EXTENDED ENOUGH will improve the situation but it wont fix it

Fedi moderation sucks:
Imagine I have @ aryansoldier1488 @ 14words dot com on my replies.
I block this person, but if they have a follower in mastodon dot social, their reply will still appear there.
Furthermore, if I report them, the report only goes to my instance… and theirs. Nowhere else

I am so sorry get ready for the debugging hell and welcome

the software has that as a safety measure on open instances because i dont want my software to be used for harrasment.

also reminder, VPNs are security snakeoil.

sorry its an anti gore and anti dox measure.

I got people join with vpn and start posting gore or dox info of other people.

Not anymore since we do the vpn checks.

Its for the safety of everyone.
