@design_RG @mngrif @arteteco Seems I'm going to reluctantly have to vote to silence neckbeard, pl, and FSE.
Giving safe harbor to individuals who evade bans and complete inaction regarding resolving it is too big a risk to the safety of our users. If they can no longer block users they wish to block they have no protection against harassment. Since this individual threatened to murder someone it is particularly concerning.
As was seen I reached out to the admin of all three instances and after a long talk none were willing to take action to ban or contain the user in any way.
For these reasons I reluctantly need to vote for a silence.
Any votes from the rest of you or discussion left?
@freemo ActivityPub blocks just aren't designed in a way that's functional, it's not something you'll ever solve by blocking.
But if you do, at least do a silence over proper defederation. There's especially no practical reason to outright block when a silence solves the problem just as well 100% of the time while giving more choice to the user. @design_RG @mngrif @arteteco
@shampoobottle agreed a silence makes more sense than a block. At this point we are considering code changes to QOTO that will address the problem rather than needing to silence.
