  6. Now, I'm mainly going by anecdotal evidence of this happening, but it definitely feels like it comes up often enough when people discuss giving up on the fediverse, or not being interested in joining.

    And I get the need for a mechanism for deleting potentially illegal content. That makes sense, definitely important.

    But maybe it's worth opening a conversation on how to better address this, because "here's a list of followers and follows you lost, good luck" is not a great solution.

    Maybe after there's a way to migrate and bring your posting history, if and whenever Mastodon supports that.

    gruene.social (temp.)
    kirche.social
    mastodon.green (temp.)
    mostr.pub
    pravda.me

    Seems to me the admins & mods do a pretty good job to keep the dark side where it belongs. Thank y'all!

  20. If you run a Mastodon server you probably already know about some of the existing tools for collectively managed domain blocks.

    As an alternative, I created a simple Python script that lets you copy public domain blocks from servers you trust for an easy import.

    Keeping your community safe should be a number one priority!

  25. If this is helpful to anyone, I recently made a tool that lets you copy blocklists from Mastodon servers that publicly share this information in a format that can be imported to your own server, if you're an admin.

    A use case for this would be: I trust the admin of XYZ.social, l want to block all the same servers they're blocking.

    Just yesterday the following exchange happened on the snarfed/bridgy-fed #Github,

    Here: github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/

    Me: "I am not an instance admin. I can only block those domains which return a #Fediverse-compatible domain name from my search.

    I will also note that "bsky.brid.gy" does not return any response from the Server search page at FediDB, here: fedidb.org/network"

    Ryan Barrett, in response: "...if Mastodon only lets you do it after you've found an existing user on that domain, then you're right, you can't block it as a user yet. If so, that's definitely an unfortunate surprise.

    He continues: "The Mastodon docs don't explain this very much ... but you might be right. If so...ugh"

    "that's definitely an unfortunate surprise"

    "if so...ugh"

    No, I *am* right

    I block instances every day on Mastodon

    The #BridgyFed developer himself doesn't even understand how #Mastodon #DomainBlocks work

    But that's the solution we mere mortals are supposed to use?

    In light of the following article, and many more like this one, please explain to me why I shouldn't domain block your instance?

    Dear BBC,

    In light of the following article, and many more like this one, please explain to me why I shouldn't domain block your instance?

    I really don't need a mouthpiece for the governing party of the UK in my news sources.

    I don't know how prevalent this saying is in the UK but:

    "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

  55. Do with this what you will, but when I investigate and go to a #fediverse instance and see that there is no list of rules, guess what?

    If there are no rules, I'm assuming that your instance is not moderated. Unmoderated instances do not belong on the fediverse.

    What happens then?

    I put in a domain block to block the instance without rules on my instance.

    If you are an admin, make sure that you have server rules.

    If you are a user, and you see your server does not have rules, move to another server. (Or get your admin on the ball, but I suspect that's not going to work.)

  59. I've always held that companies that want to be in the #fediverse should **be** in the #fediverse. Therefore, I block those instances that are farms of bots mirroring content from elsewhere but not accepting replies from the fediverse.

    I've blocked press.coop this morning. From their about page:

    "Press.coop imports RSS feeds from popular press sites to the fediverse, and is operated as a public benefit by hello.coop.

    As these are imported RSS feeds and not for engagement, replies to posts are rejected."

    I used to block domains with my account, but I now block them with my instance.
