       #MastoAdmin #FediBlock The admin of journa.host is publicly using and linking a scraping utility to track what instances have silenced or suspended his own.This scraping utility is using code created by Kiwi Farms, and is hosted on the same domain as an instance he himself has suspended. So he'll suspend the instance because others have - but he's happy to use something they host.In my opinion, this information has destroyed any good will he might have had left.

       We are not anti-journalist.We are wary. Wary of people who have no history or knowledge of the Fediverse who decide to admin an instance and collect people who also have no history or knowledge of the Fediverse, who bring their Twitter expectations.We are wary of admins who try to puff their chest and say things like, "Well if people don't *want* news in their feeds I guess", who profess to be journalists but don't vet the tools they're linked to, and who frame pre-emptive silences or blocks as being "anti-journalist.""Go home and be a family man!" -- Guile

       To be absolutely clear:With all the attention being given to the Fediverse (and Mastodon in particular) bigots and edgelords have identified an opportunity to wage a campaign of racism and harassment.Many instance admins communicate with each other directly and share their block lists with each other - and the newest version of Mastodon is finally getting tools to help simplify those processes.But at the end of the day the issue isn't a technical one - but a human one. This is also why smaller instances are better than the ones with tens or hundreds of thousands of accounts. Smaller sites mean moderators can act faster without as much strain on the human behind the screen.I'd like to use my small voice to encourage my fellow admins to not fail the BIPOC community.Thank you.

       Suzanne Moore, a far right personality who has written for sites like The Guardian repeatedly demonizing trans people. toot.community admins have said that while they disallow transphobia, they "believe in equal chances for everyone regardless of their past and views".We have defederated with toot.community effective immediately.https://cultofshiv.wtf/@psotle/109343497622498932#FediBlock
