when you come up with a whole rant, but then lose interest in trying to put all the necessary qualifiers to try and preempt folks who would jump into the mentions to bad faith scold you for corner cases of your general point, so you just get tired of t...

@puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social @JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange There is kind of person online who seems to read your post and thinks that it is directly aimed at them, and them alone. It upsets them that you, a stranger, did not take their opinions into consideration when you wrote your post. The Internet makes your opinion accessible to many people who are incidental to your audience; whereas talking about it in person limits it to whomever can hear.

How dare you say that my pet issue isn't the absolute most important issue facing the world right now!!! Or the fact that you're complaining about something means you think everyone else's problems are unimportant!!! Oh boo hoo, your landlord didn't fix your fence. At least you HAVE a fence unlike all the people in Gaza!!!

I swear to God, this fucking website turns more and more into <= 2022 era Twitter every day.

Except that 2022 twitter had the benefit of passing through 2017-2021 twitters first, and this place isn't doing that.

True. There's been basically no progress whatsoever in any of the most requested user safety and moderation tooling in the almost 3 years I've been on Mastodon... If it wasn't for the hard work of a shitload of volunteer mods, this place would be worse than Voat.

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone I still can't believe that mastodon allows any user to forward a report to a remote instance. As an administrator that's like the worst thing I could ever think of as a "feature".

[puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social]

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone Like, the fuck? Say there's some transphobe and one of my users reports them without looking at the instance. Clicks the "forward to remote instance" button or whatever. Say they own the fucking instance now "transfem.social" is a potential target of harassment. That remote instance may not have been aware of us at all.

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone like tf who sat down and went "my users should have the ability to send reports wherever". Mastodon’s report behavior is so fucking weird too. You’d expect a forwarded report to go to the remote instance in question but it can hit several other instances (especially if they’re also in the replies) and it’s a clusterfuck. Do not understand how people administrate that shit

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io @yassie_j@labyrinth.zone we can't report profiles here (well i mean you can but that's not really accessible via the front end). When you report it's typically a post and the post you are reporting is in the report automatically. I don't have to sit there "guessing" what the fuck my users are reporting.
