Hi all. I am going to implement a block for sh.itjust.works. I am going to need years of therapy from all the nasty crap coming from that instance.

    As someone who signed up for this instance based on its minimal blocked list, I’d like to know more. Was this targeted harassment by multiple users, bots, or something else?

      Swarms of either bots or a dedicated person with multiple accounts posting scat gifs everywhere.

        The same kind of account showed up spamming Kbin.social yesterday and admin got it blocked pretty quickly. I haven’t seen anything like that so far today. Hopefully it’s one dedicated troll and sh.itjust.works can get rid of them soon

    block hexbear while you’re at it…
    it’s 99.9% concern trolls pretending to be ultra communist…
    e.g. they like to talk about how great North Korea is… even though it’s essentially a monarchy and pretty far from any communist philosophy…

    everything i’ve seen from a hexbear account has been extremely negative… sometimes some valid criticism, but almost always it’s just anti everything… except the most brutal examples of dictatorships…

    I respect and understand your decision, I’ve personally had to block a few communities from that instance due to their problematic content.

    For the sake of transparency (which I feel have been the spirit of this instance so far), could you give us some examples that led up to this decision?

      It’s not a decision because of their opinions, rather their inability to moderate their own spam of scat gifs.

          I’m sure. To be frank, I’d prefer they sort out their moderation inconsistencies and get federated again but as it is, Jerry’s gotta deal with reviewing every single report from a member of this instance.

              Not sure I see the logic of subjecting him to an outsized number of bad reports from a single poorly moderated instance rather than just defederating until they can become better aligned with their own stated rules. Perhaps you’d be better suited managing your own instance?
