We're badly in need of better decentralized moderation tools.
Individuals blocking individuals is not an effective way to handle abuse.
I want the ability to have an automated way to block instances if they do not handle abuse reports. If I see an abusive user from an unfamiliar instance, it's not easy for me to know whether their behavior is the norm or will go unpunished. It would be nice to have a one-click:
1. Block this user for me from an abusive post
2. Report to *their* instance admin "If the linked behavior is acceptable on your instance, I will block your instance."
3. Autoblock the instance if no response in, say, 3 days
4. If the admin responds, give the option to block the instance.
@peterweyand I'm coming at this from a perspective of how you build a place that works for a broader community work. I see the Fediverse as a potential alternative to the centralized social networks. But I don't think that actually happens with replacing the moderation layer with something decentralized.
But since you can't make your points without being abusive, this is the last you'll hear from me. Consider yourself liberated from my opinions.
@peterweyand I'm honestly starting to regret inviting you here.
While there is such a thing as undeserved social stigma, there comes a point at which you should probably look in the mirror to see why so many people seem to dislike you.
