@m_hossein_rajabi

i thought fosstodon was a nazi bar?

[m_hossein_rajabi@infosec.exchange]

@breathOfLife Nope, it’s a FOSS-focused Mastodon instance.

@jerry

i'm not familiar with the admin scene around mastodon instances, but did fosstodon ever get round to solving their moderation issues?

or are we better off finding another instance (e.g. floss.social)?

[jerry@infosec.exchange]

@breathOfLife I know the former owners/admins stepped back and appointed a new person to be the admin/owner. We do see an occasional complaint about an account there, but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. I haven’t heard anything about them since that flap last spring. To me, it seems like the concerns were addressed and as such I don’t see an issue with continuing on there. That said, I don’t keep up with all of the inter-instance controversies, so it’s entirely possible I’m unaware of something and may in fact, be causing a whole new controversy with my reply 😅

[m_hossein_rajabi@infosec.exchange]

@breathOfLife @jerry Fosstodon has had some moderation challenges in the past, but the admins and community have been actively managing content and ensuring a safe environment.
It’s still a solid choice for FOSS-focused discussions.
Of course, if you prefer a different instance like floss.social, that’s also a valid option.

@jerry @breathOfLife Thanks for the insight! That makes sense. I agree that Fosstodon seems well-managed now, and I’m happy to continue participating there. I appreciate your careful perspective! 🙂
