I love how wikipedia isn't running daily #covid19 count updates from Johns Hopkins on their current events page, but rather:"2020 coronavirus pandemic in the United States 2020 coronavirus pandemic in North Carolina A pug in Chapel Hill, North Carolina becomes the first dog in the United States to test positive for COVID-19. Three of the humans it lives with have also tested positive for the disease. "

Seemingly doing everything they can to minimize the optics of the rampant #covid19 outbreak in the states, including dividing the information into state level tidbits for you :)

@kev I submitted a report on images from a very offensive domain (https://cheap.negroes.forsale/neckbeard/6dcbb9465c837d856c4b8e1ca54840d52bcebd06c28338f08f77c87399d45f1c.png) almost a week ago, have not heard from anyone. Wondering if this is a social network that lets this kind of garbage slide?

@kev like... how do you not have a keyword filter you can wave a wand at and make these things automagically disappear?

@kev @mike Well, something to consider from a user perspective then:1) You can automate responses based on action taken.2) Placing the onus on users to filter this stuff exposes them to it FIRST and thrusts on them the burden of blocking "too many for that to be feasible".3) This is not so subjective... advertising cheap negroes for sale is likely not just offensive, but probably illegal where your server is located.You need better policy.

@mike @kev Then perhaps you can take it up with whoever maintains the server you're connected to and insist they block that domain.Just do something.

@mike @kev Then it would seem to me you need the backend code updated to provide those mechanisms. You are responsible for the content flowing through your instance. As ridiculous as that sounds, it's also the truth.

@sim @kev @mike It's simply not so subjective... you don't even have to target particular examples if you have a disallowed word list to preempt obvious shit like this. All you have to decide from a policy standpoint is what goes into it. And that is only one mechanism I can think of off the top of my head.But, if what you are advocating for is freedom to be offensive toward a particular race, as in this instance, then defend not doing anything about it...

@sim @kev @mike You're conflating very different issues. If a moderator/admin/w/e wants to "shape traffic", you'll probably not even know it.If a moderator/admin/w/e transparently says, "that's offensive, I'm banning that domain"... These are different cases entirely.

@sim @kev @mike This grabbed my attention in your textwall rationalization: "you are burdening admins with making the choices you want them to make."Incorrect, I am adding my voice to every other rational being that say "WE will not tolerate this".Freedom does not imply freedom to oppress and abuse others based on race.You wanna be another head in the sand while they burn bodies upwind, I'll take my leave.

@sim @kev @mike Like seriously, check your priorities... is being edgey on the internet from behind an avatar worth lowering our guard against the hate history has shown us can take hold?

@geekgonecrazy @mike @kev @pcrock Sure a lot of rationalizations for not directly confronting racism.I generally attribute this to a) cowardice or b) indifference.
