It appears shadowbans are now standard fair over at mastodon.social. I contacted the admins to get their response, lets hope im mistaken, but the more I look into it the more corrupt the joinmastodon and mastodon.social organizations are starting to look. Uncovered some really nasty stuff these past few weeks.
I'll share the full details in a post later today. I'd like to see if the admins actually respond first.
I want to update everyone to say that the claim from admins was that there was a bug in the notification system and that i simply wasnt notified and it was an accident.
Ultimately the claim was i engaged in harassment because I reached out to admins of others instances through M.S to inquire if they saw any harassment from our instance and if so if I could be of any help as an admin.
I was told that is harassment apparently.. I'll let anyone reading this decide what they think about that.
@matrix I mean harassment has a legitimate place, as im sure you realize. If im literally making 20 cloned accounts and blasting you with messages like "die <explicative>" its harrassment, its wrong.
But if someone asks "are you ok, anything i can do to fix the situation" and that is labeled as harassment, then we have a serious problem as a people and are clearly abusing the word IMO.
@freemo
I agree, anti harassment policies have their place although I would classify your example as spam at that point.
I only have anecdotal evidence, but from my experience, the term harassment is barely used as "consistent unwanted advances" and is more used as a more malicious alternative for "I don't like you, fuck off". Especially by Americans.
@matrix No arguments
@freemo M.S is a snowflake fed with trigger happy mods. I left there immediately.
I originally had two accounts. One being in Mastodon social. I think 4 days into being there one and a mod told me "I should leave and go find another instance" because some snowflake had reported me. I don't even know why they reported me.
I snapped to attention, gave the mod his zeighail salute and left and never looked back.
I wouldn't recommend MS to anyone.
@freemo
Here's is a perfect example of why the word "harassment" always raises a huge red flag for me.
