  • @mina That is a solid advice, sure. But even completely innocent posts can attract mansplaining, tone policing, and outright racism and sexism, and worse.

    I don't typically deal with this stuff myself, but on at least two occasions, after posting some pro-trans articles and messages, I'd have bunch of anti-trans losers show up in my replies.

    Easy to block, but I just can't imagine dealing with that daily. Or on a bigger scale. I would probably leave for Bluesky myself.

  • @amberage

    That's the basic misunderstanding that people have about decentralised networks:

    They don't get it that once a message leaves your instance, you lost all control about it.

    All this "Don't quote, don't reply, quiet public, followers only, opting out of indexing and search machines etc." is merely a recommendation, but cannot be enforced.

    I always say: Only post what would do no harm to you if plastered it on a public bathroom's wall or take it to the police

  • @amberage What you described is pretty much how I'd imagine this to work. Obviously you can't prevent people from publishing whatever they want on their website, blog, or social media, but there have to be ways to limit their reach.

    Also, have you seen Mastodon's updated roadmap?

    > Moderation tools
    > Looking at ways to make moderation easier, e.g. shared block lists.

    That sounds promising, I think!

  • @manankanchu Would you consider a blog that has comments disabled a "suppression of discussion"?

  • @stefan I have quite a bunch of ideas for moderation that could prevent harassment in the first place, tbh, but chances of Masto devs ever implementing anything like it are about minus 9000%

    What can be implemented re: reply controls is, basically, selective muting. A post could indicate "only people XY may reply" (i.e.: followers), fellow vanilla Mastodon servers would respect that, other ActivityPub software may or may not respect that, and bad actors certainly wouldn't. So while it may hide unwanted replies from cooperating parties, it would only ever do so on a good faith basis.

    Twitter could do reply controls because Twitter is one company. All user accounts, all posts, all are owned by Twitter. It rules absolutely, for better or worse. That isn't possible with ActivityPub, where each post, each like, each follow, is just servers sending "hey, I did this thing" announcements into the ether and other servers deciding how to respond.

    ... suppressing discussion has never been a good approach...

  • @amberage I think these features mean slightly different things to different people, and my impression is that it is possible to provide at least some control to marginalized people who are most often victims of targeted harassment.

    If this truly was impossible, I don't think there's much of a point in sticking around the fediverse if we can't ensure everyone feels safe and welcome.

    And I'm sure moderation tools can be improved, but these can only be used after the damage has already been done. There have to be better ways for people to defend themselves before an attack, or before moderators can step in.

  • @stefan agree 100%.

    È Natale… poi arriva Capodanno… e subito dopo la Befana.Un trittico di giorni che, per chi ci crede o no, ha un potere strano ma reale… quello di rallentare il rumore e far respirare la testa.Allora dichiariamolo ufficialmente, un periodo di pausa e leggerezza. Un periodo in cui proviamo, anche solo un po’, a essere più positivi verso tutti. A rispondere con un sorriso invece che con un muro. A dare spazio a ciò che unisce, invece che a ciò che divide.Perché l’anno nuovo è lì, ormai e io voglio che qualcosa cambi.Lo so… sembrano i soliti propositi che si ripetono ogni anno. Ma stavolta lo sento diverso. Non so se in bene o in male, però so una cosa con certezza… io ci voglio entrare dentro, in questo 2026, con intenzione e coraggio.E la mia scelta è chiara.Voglio dedicarmi più che mai al #Fediverso italiano. Non per “fare scena”, non per parlare… ma per fare. Per migliorarlo, anche solo di un centimetro alla volta. Più accoglienza, più collaborazione, più comunità, più persone che si aiutano invece di farsi la guerra per niente.Ci riuscirò?Qualcuno seguirà l’esempio?Chi già ci sta provando avrà voglia di unire le forze?Non lo so.Però so che vale la pena provarci. E che certe cose cambiano solo quando qualcuno smette di chiedere “chi lo farà” e decide “inizio io”.Io ci sto.E tu?🙏@fediverso

    @cniside No, non serve per forza avere un sito web o un dominio.La verifica tramite dominio è solo uno dei tre metodi.Se non hai un sito puoi comunque ottenere la spunta verde usando:Gravatar — soluzione semplice per tuttiKeyoxide — più tecnica, basata su OpenPGPEntrambe permettono la verifica senza possedere un dominio
