       So I've moved!I live at hachyderm.io now. Unfortunately, I can't recommend mastodon.cloud anymore. The typical user might not be able to navigate what I did. I'll explain in the next post behind a Content Warning, because it's not nice.But new neighbours, what's good! 🙋🏿‍♂️

       My account started getting a lot of targeted racist abuse and death threats. Typical 4ch*n stuff: N-word, kill, hang, H*tler, etc. I'm a Black dude on the internet, so I've seen it all before. It's just annoying.So I reported about 20 of them. No response. This is the flip side of what I thought was good about Mastodon.cloud: That the mods don't moderate Black folk for talking about racism. The downside of very hands off moderation is inaction.

       So I noticed that most of the posts were from an instance called "poa (dot) st" I know what poasting is, so figured I would block the instance. The app I'm using doesn't support instance blocking, so I headed to the site. Before I did that though, I checked my instances blocked servers, and didn't see a very long list. Then I checked hachyderm's about page and saw that "poa (dot) st" is already blocked, along with a long list of other nonsense.👍🏿

       I'd been thinking of moving to Hachyderm anyway, as many of my friends (and people I only know slightly, but respect greatly) are already here. I'm curious to see if the local timeline will become usable for me.But I don't think a casual social user should be expected to navigate what I did.Also weird, because of how Mastodon works, no one else sees the racist abuse directed at a user. It doesn't show up in the local timeline, or in search.

       @mekkaokereke Very bad that you have to go through all that. Our server blocks the mentioned server too. We've grown from 100 to 100000 users in under 3 weeks, so the block list isn't large, but steadily growing. We have a team of moderators keeping the place happy. I hope your new home is a happy one. Wish you all the best.

       @mekkaokereke ah, i thought i read mastodon.online. yeah, mastodon.cloud is owned by the same japanese company as mstdn.jp; lots of users, but it seems they are really bad at moderation. why'd you choose mastodon.cloud?

       @lamp it was completely random. I was told it didn't really matter.

       @mekkaokereke Sorry to see you move, happy to see that you have the opportunity. Following now at Hachyderm. Which, apparently, I have been pronouncing wrong. I thought it was "hashy-derm", but apparently it is "hacky-derm".
