It's been a surprising and unexpected development. An eye opener to how fragile some instances can be and how vulnerable to the power of a mob. There are lessons to be learned and I think Mastodon will get stronger as a result of this test.
Individually we have good tools that help limit exposure too. Blocking all the time is tedious and boring, so I've set up some keyword filtering to cut out the trolls :)

Yeah I've blocked 36 people so far because of this. Going to see how my expanded filtering works. Should reduce the load I hope.
Can't mention the words/phrase I've used or I might filter myself, divide by zero and apparate up my own ass 😄
