Thank you. While I am sure you mean in support of what I said, rather than against it may not be clear to others based on how you worded that which side you are agreeing with :)
I want to make sure #fediblock is aware that this post was made entirely in retaliation to this post I made one hour earlier:
https://qoto.org/@freemo/111908762832451120
As I state explicitly this is a bald face lie that we have any modifications in our code base. Our codebase is public and linked. At no point did we change anything. They are just lying in retaliation to the above post (look at time stamps to see)
You asked me if JoePie91 image posts of what I said were real. I said they were manipulated and showed you proof they were false. Then you said because I addressed CSAM rather than racism that "proves" to you im guilty.
Can you explain that to me first, then ill be happy to answer any questions you'd like to ask of me.
Note: we announced blocking tools specifically so can add more aggressive tiered blocking that is better than the way we do it now.
Note in my screen shots where I answered you you can clearly see hate speech is one of the rules we block for as well. So I offered you proof that debunked both claims of CSAM **and** racism, and despite that you ignored it.
Again, care to address why you are specifically spreading lies I showed you proof are incorrect and lies?
Address this and ill tell you every account thats an alt of mine you'd like to ask about.
Hahaha, some people are just hilariously stupid. This guy thinks he "got me" by getting me to admit these two accounts are both mine. LOL I literally have my full name posted and pictures of me.... Ok there detective nitwit, lol.
Then he thinks he is slick trying to "get me" on a second account like he is being slick or something, lolololol.
Its extremely easy to get out of echo chambers. Thats not the problem, the problem is that you dont know your in one until its too late.
By the look of it most of their users are never aware of the abuse until they are, then when they complain they get suspended.
When you have an echo chamber one of the problems is you dont know your in a echo chamber because any evidence of the reality you are in is so highly censored you hav eno way to know till its too late.
@freemo @wild1145@universeodon.com @wild1145@mastodonapp.uk I wonder if people unwittingly join instances like that or mstdn.social, get bored by the weird performative echo chamber, then write off Mastodon and go back to Twitter or whatever.
All moderation behaviors, both abuse and due dilligance over their own users, as well as their federation decisions.
I will happily grab for any rope, as I point out the rope is the lesser evil over the quicksand and I agree, you should always pick the lesser evil.
Now if I get thrown 3 ropes and one is laced with poison (democrats) I will grab one of the other two ropes, because again, I will pick the lesser evil.
> Please don't waste my time. You vote for the lessor of evils who can win.
As long as everyone is ethical enough to vote for the lesser evil collectively then of course they can win. After all the main 2 parties have switched hands 8 times in USA history.
In fact the only way people could possibly vote for the lesser of evils and not win is if the majority of people vote for the greater of evils.
We arent quite ready to go public with it yet but the #UFoI, the federation of servers that I started that is basically against abusive moderation practices like this... this is kinda the point.
We are working on curating evidence regarding moderation practices and creating two lists 1) servers with good moderation practices (no reports with evidence of abusive moderation) and 2) a list of servers with known bad moderation practices.
This way people can use it to select servers where they know they wont be supporting abusive practices against its own users or regarding federation.
Because when we tried this in the past the servers accused of course tried to retaliate we are making sure when the list is released the m evidence collected is absolutely massive and in case they try to attack us again this time we are armed with the evidence.
Agreed, all elections are about selecting the lesser of all the evils presented, those evils being : Republican (extremely evil), democrat (extremely evil), Libertarian (a little bit evil), Green party (a tiny bit evil), third party (varies).
So remember, if you care about picking the lesser evil, make sure you never vote democrat or republican, pick any of the many lesser evils on the table, but not those two greater evils.
Ahh those were the days!
@freemo are you sure it's worth the trouble and your nerves? these blocklists are their own demise after all. as you wrote, those instances tend to bleed users ;)
Don't worry, I am not curating a block list. I am curating a list of universeodon users who have come forward about the negligent moderation practices on the server. I then plan to dump the evidence collected from dozens of users in a public post (and probably boost it from my universeodon account) as well as over on mastodonapp.uk just to make sure people are aware of the abuse.
If people want to block his servers or not or even if their users just want to migrate away, thats up to them. This guy is just sitting here lying about all these threads blowing up where he is getting called out and since he is doubling down I want to make sure the evidence is in the public space and that when people search for the server its one of the first google hits.
Have you considered instead of being lazy and trying to avoid moderating your server properly and literally admitting to refusing to do due diligence... maybe you should consider I dont know, moderating your server and if need be promoting enough moderators to do so? Crazy idea huh.
If you dont have time capacity or money to hire moderators then do a good enough job people are willing to volunteer their time because they believe in the community.
I am a horrible moderator because I dont have the time is pretty much your excuse here, and its a bad one.
