One thing I like a lot about the granularity of a federated system is the ability to block entire domains.E.g., I just saw something iffy coming from the freeatlantis.com domain, went over to check it out, recoiled from the stench of truth social, and blocked EVERYONE ON THERE in one go. Amazing.Also saw one with a slightly changed racial slur in the domain and blocked that, but I wonder if that is something I should work with #sdf to get fully blocked on this server. Any locals with advice?

@mhcat Yeah, saw a couple of people throwing racial insults around.Don't worry about them: Block or Block & Report is enough.We can ban entire instances, but this is considered a bit extreme.In general, any user from freespeechextremist, poa.st or any of the '.st' can be blocked on sight, it will save you a lot of time and effort.

@ParadeGrotesque cool, thanks for the pointers. I'll report stuff if it's truly awful, but generally people use coded language outside of their home turf.the server "hub.natehiggers.online" seems to me like a provocation by design. Maybe that's a real person's name, but that just makes me think of "Peter File" of that one episode of the IT Crowd.

@mhcat Yeah, unfortunately, we have a sizable crowd of overly excited MAGA hats. They tend to think they run the place, if you see what I mean.So: Block, Block, Block and report.DM me if you see any local SDF user misbehaving.
