About threads, but feels kinda relevant.
"I often feel that being a community mod or a community leader should not be seen as power but a responsibility. You have a duty of care to ensure the safety of your members who choose to let you have some power over a part of their lives.
I don't think some of the admins of the larger instances get this. I think some admins are salivating more over getting the celebs over, rather than caring for their existing community.
Not 24 hours after the admin of mas.to wrung his hands about Nazis in his bar, there was another one.
That one was replying to the visible activists on our community and posting death threat memes, using racist language and Eugenics.
There is no ironic posting of the Nazi flag or usage of Nazi dog whistles.
I've reported and blocked but the only way to stop it is close the open signups.
Stop performatively wringing your hands. It does nothing to stop the wave.
Not letting the Nazis in the bar seems like community safety 101.
Most people are inhuman - various spectrum of Nazi...
@onepict Many types of Nazi's - which relates to what you said - though it may not seem directly related but:
Many don't like / want to do things humanly, including human contact as community #admin, as #community member, #academic ETC !
Just write / read #text only as a type of inhumane way ? even if you don't call yourself a #Nazi,
"Yeah I don't do chats!"
Human emotions, feelings - nope not for the many even though they need themselves to have it and even complain when leaders don't have it 
So for extreme Nazi's sure but the slightly lower down even for open signups - the answer is to chat to ALL of them eventually which a community should be doing anyway and can do among themselves...
community safety 101 is not as simple as barring people or blocking... years of #FreeSchool shows that even the well-to-do people can't see they are #fascist / #inhuman / binary #Tech people / not doing their human #responsibility / how the #irony abounds and how much time they #waste on other #hashtags rather than sounding like a desperate person like me knowing how we get to any extreme - through silent and #tacit-accepting people, not just just racist or dominating people - people just rolling over and paying #money left #right and centre for any types of leaders / fascist to do the dirty work for us instead of us getting better at it and keeping control a bit more...
Outsource / palm off.... not good
even the good people / charity types.
Happy to see if you reply as this can seem negative or against you or something - it's not... but people have to start the ball rolling and even #DIY do it yourself...
Imagine if you were admin and came across my account asking you to talk while not having to give you my name or credit card details in the name of preserving what little we have left... many would treat it as suspicious rather than consider 'oh that's clever' when they come to rounding up more people or even educate how existing things work when something finally works and they go to shut it down...
Happy to talk more... it's not just the Nazi's - it's also what we're all not doing (imagine Mastodon as the software EMPTY of people actually doing #regular social ! )
Great software. 
Poor / unskilled population. 🔨
