Addendum for mods/admins:
In the last spam wave, we found that most of the spam comes from instances we have had zero, or negligible, contact with. If you check the details of the server in the Moderation/Federation menu and it shows that there are no followings to/from it, it is safe (and wise) to suspend the whole server, not only the reported user. (More new users are usually spawned as long as the server is unsecured.)

In Anlehnung an #fairTrade bezeichne ich es manchmal #fairDigital und hoffe, dass z.B. die andere Art der #Moderation weiterhin dazu beiträgt und es nicht durch #Kommerzialisierung kaputt gemacht wird.

Öfter beobachtete ich, dass es Menschen zwar ausprobieren, es ihnen aber zu viel Aufwand zu sein scheint, wie im normalen Leben auch, Kontakte zu knüpfen und zu pflegen, anstatt sie sich von Algotithmen zuspielen zu lassen.

Somebody reported me to myself, y’all. How’s your day going? :)

Hint: if you don’t like my comparing Israel to Russia, go tell Israel to stop acting like Russia.

(And find out how the fediverse works before you go making an arse of yourself trying to censor me on my own personal instance.)

"A decentralized, interoperable Internet is an explicit tradeoff: you lose the power that comes from convincing the platforms to eliminate the speech that disturbs or upsets you, but you gain the power to move to an online community where speech policies are to your liking...and you still get to talk to people who want different speech policies."
