Holy moly. I thought this platform was supposed to be the anti nazi opponent? Within 2 hours of signing up- 4 clicks into a #- I’m confronted with an extreme vocal white supremacy tooter. A barrage of anti otherist-whites are under attack- type toots. This is just part of one example. Frankly I’m shocked.
What is the mastodon etiquette of what is/isn’t allowed? What sort of things warrent reporting? I see the report option is there, but I don’t want to faux par on my first day here.

@ErikaDesign Mastodon isnt really anti-nazi, though QOTO (this server) is, in the sense we have no people like that locally.
Mastodon is about each server being able to set whatever rules they want for themselves. Each server can also decide which other server they wish to federate with.
The idea is that because you as a user can block whole servers, not just people, it is easy for you to create the type of world you want. If you mute all the pro-nazi servers (there really arent very many) then you will not see nazis anymore. This is different than say twitter where you'd have to block each person individually and not really get anywhere on the whole.

@ErikaDesign Make sure you block the server and not the user if that is your intention. There are only about a dozen or so servers, and not very big ones, that have that sort of content.
