CW: Another discussion on Mastodon about how racism and harassment could be beaten; CW: long (over 1,000 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse beyond Mastodon meta, link to racism, link to harassment, quote-post
Looks like a purely Mastodon solution for racism and harassment on Mastodon is being sought in this thread.
On the one hand, I think such threads need some more insight from outside Mastodon.
On the other hand, I think nobody in this thread really wants to know how things are outside Mastodon. Or, in fact, outside their own instance. They want solutions for Mastodon, for the instances they are on right now themselves. Without having to take the rest of the Fediverse into consideration.

Any moderation system like Mastodon’s that regularly lets through the kind of sewage that @KimCrayton1 has been highlighting is a moderation system that is failing.
Failing.
Full stop. https://dair-community.social/@KimCrayton1/112872020308883967

@Shoq Self-quote from that long post you should have been notified about:
It's because quoted posts = quote-tweets as used on Twitter to harass BIPoC and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. People who, for this very same reason, harassment, have escaped from Twitter to Mastodon which doesn't have quote-tweets and therefore counts as a safe haven.
They don't want quote-tweets on Mastodon out of fear of being harassed on Mastodon just the same as they were harassed on Twitter.
So it's gays and lesbians and trans people and Black people etc. who've been harassed to the bone by right-wing nutters on Twitter, using quote-tweets. And they don't want the same shit to happen to them on Mastodon again.
And they think they're only safe if Mastodon doesn't have quote-tweets.
Sorry, still over 500 characters.
