Hey moderators of Mastodon... is there a way to import a list of problem users to ban them as a group at the instance lvl? We ask because we see a few very prolific, very obnoxious serial block evaders come up on the reg. It would be great to create a shareable list to allow mods to ban them with a click.

#Moderation Alert:
ali525-q.hf.space seems to be made entirely for someone to repeatedly spam a claim that they are a Palestinian requesting money. Users, keep in mind that this is a very easy #scam as there is no way for moderation to confirm that these people are who they say they are, and it is unlikely.
Fellow #FediMods, feel free to check this instance, and correct me if I missed something, but as of now, I have suspended the instance as a spam vector and will be putting it on the next release of the public blocklist.

Who moderates the social web?
In the second post of our 2025 report series, we look at the people behind the work, their roles, experience, and how many are burning out.
Now with three years of data, we’re also looking at trends.

Dear open registration servers, each day so far this week, I've opened my Mastodon client, only to see slurs, swastikas, and death threat videos of "me" being hanged.
This is the Nazi bar problem. They're standing on the curb and your doors are wide open. Sure, you're kicking them out after they walk in and punch a few customers, but is that really how you want your bar to be known? As the place that apologizes *after* the Nazi assaults you?
With the current US election results rolling in, it looks like we're in for another predictable wave of butthurt GravySeals aching to own the libs in a sad attempt to bring meaning to their poor little wannabe white power lives.
It's time to close registrations and step up moderation to protect the communities you helped grow.
Racism is chasing Black folx off Fedi.
Queerphobia is chasing LGBTQ+ folx off Fedi.
Sexism is chasing women off Fedi.Do you want another incel white boys club like Twitter? Because inaction is how you get there.
#FediAdmin, #FediMods, don't be a #NaziBar.

I have an apology to issue. Yesterday, I called out a few large, open-registration instances (mastodon.social, vivaldi.net, and mas.to).
I was ticked off because (once again) a blatant Nazi troll account sent me (and several other folx) swastika photos and hate-speech.
I'm not apologizing for calling out large, open-signup instances. I stand by every word I said. But there's something I *didn't* say, and that's what I believe I owe an apology for.
When you have as many followers as I do, it's easy to start a dogpile—even unintentionally—and because of this, I always try to include a "be kind, don't attack folx" message when I rant about something. Yesterday I forgot to do that, and some mods and admins caught shit for it. It was my responsibility to anticipate my (sometimes overly) enthusiastic followers' reactions and head that off, and I failed to.
If you were one of the people yesterday who sent reports or messages that attacked *any* of the moderation team members of those servers, I would love it if you'd apologize to them. They're all volunteers, just like me, doing their best with what they've got. It's on all of us to make Fedi a safe space for each other.
To any of the wonderful volunteer moderators of Fedi who got nasty messages yesterday—or don't wake up every day feeling appreciated for their work—I'm sorry 🫂 you deserve better. I appreciate you 💞
Update: two of the three above instances' admin teams have personally reached out to me about my original post—and that's amazing! I hope we can work together to make Fedi a safer, more inclusive space for everyone (except Nazis).

So many of the absolute worst accounts I suspend should *never* have gotten past signup 😮💨
If your username contains a slur, hate-speech, or a well-known troll or dogwhistle reference, then it is a failure of your moderators and administration if that account ever sees the light of day.
If someone walks into your instance doing a Nazi salute and you don't slam the door in their face *hard* then you've let your community down.
I'm looking at you big open-registration instances.

Die Idee ist für #FediSingles eine #Flohmarkt Instanz aufzusetzen, hätte denn wer Lust mit zu Moderieren? Wäre natürlich erstmal nur ein Pilotprojekt.
Es gäbe sogar schöne nTDL's .date oder .love.
Ok es bleibt nur fedi.love, für fedi.date will an 331.04€ für die registrierung... -

It appears someone has been making new accounts on servers to circumvent being blocked/suspended.
They're using these accounts to doxx and spread false accusations against @carbonated_estrogen, who I personally know to be a lovely individual.
If you see anyone attacking @carbonated_estrogen or encouraging others to do so, please report them and any applicable posts.
⚠️ Please do not engage with the poster or dogpile on them. We don't fight harassment with harassment.
