Mastodon has one really bad feature that enhances rage, like usually only non-Fediverse social media plattforms do.
If someone deletes their post someone else replied to, that reply suddenly is no longer a reply, but a standalone post and therefore more visible (e.g. in timelines that hide replies and on that person's profile).
Why is this a problem? Because chances are high that the reason why you delete your post is because you don't like the reply. And now the reply is on full display so more people can not-like it.

If you don't encounter a lot of LLM-spam and obvious trolls in the Fediverse right now, then your mods are doing a lot of good, unpaid work. 👍

From now on, whenever I report a new remote troll, I'm going to include "please moderate your signups" in the report.
I might add "Or pay me for doing your moderation work." at some later point.

Russian propagandists are still attempting to flood the #Fediverse with disinformation. We have zero tolerance for this and are suspending these accounts without warning.

How has my last couple of days been as Mastodon server admin you ask?
It's been great with all this "Mastodon moderation" bullshit

#AllThingsTech is currently looking for a moderator for our instance. Someone that can help with reports that come in, as well as various other little things.
If you are interested, please let myself or @beardedtechguy as we'd love to talk to you and possibly bring you on board.

Me in 2019: Let’s run an InfoSec and a regional Mastodon instance - Should be FUN!
Me today: Discussing whether reported accounts are russian troll bots and how far these election-influencing operations would go. “Do you really think they use a (virtual) iOS device, tunnel that to Hamburg, and then activate the Apple privacy network..?”
Good Luck to all the #mastomod and #mastoadmin !!!

There is a big fucking bug in Mastodon's moderation features.
When I as a moderator suspend a remote account...
Expected behavior: The account can no longer be found or interacted with on our server and the account can't find or interact with accounts on our server.
Actual behavior: the account can still be found but is empty. there is a notice that the account is suspended and there is even still a follow button - it just doesn't do anything.
And the account can still see everything from our instance and interact with our posts. 🤯 Our users just won't reciprocate the interaction, because the reply won't appear here.
But if someone else replies to a reply from the suspended account we'll see that reply, but won't know what original post it belongs to.Is this a new bug with Mastodon 4.3 or has it always been like that?
I've been moderating for 5 years now and this is new to me.I'm not going to create an account on Microsoft™️ Github to officially file this bug report, but can someone tell me if it's already reported and what's the status? Thanks.
Additional ideal expected behavior: Previous replies to any of our posts by the suspended account won't be seen by anyone anywhere on the Fediverse - or at least not as replies to our posts, because our instance notifies/federates all other instances that these replies shouldn't be there.

It's times like the last 2 - 3 days with the large amount of spam that we've gotten that #AllThingsTech is certainly in need of someone who is active and a moderator.
Someone who can help handle all of the reports from those spam attacks.
Also worth mentioning, it would be nice to have a moderator who is going to actively speak about the instance and help it grow in various ways.
