I have recently uncovered a user who seems to be opening temporary accounts at QOTO, blocking all the moderators so we dont see their posts and then posting high offensive material (nazi imagery, transphobic and hateful derogatory content, etc) and then proceeding to announce to block list moderators and possibly on the #Fediblock list in general in an attempt to get us banned.

The issue of users being able to block moderators and do **exactly** this is something I have brought up to @Gargron before probably over a year ago but he has never acted on fixing this issue and does not see it as needing fixing from what I could gather (he can interject here if he would like).

It is something we as moderators are powerless to detect or act against unless someone actually reports the content first, that is the only way we will even see it. Thankfully none of the block lists have actually acted on this and no damage to QOTO has been done. But seeing as this may continue I want to make others aware of the problem, press Gargron to fix the issue once more, and also encourage **anyone** who sees such content on QOTO to please report it so we can act on it.

I can not personally confirm this but according to the block-list operator they seem to have reason to think it is @snow behind the attacks. This would be in line with the behaviors from snow I have witnessed in the past.

For the attempt by snow to spam and falsely accuse instances see here:

Amfora working nicely on the PocketCHIP.

Some fucking Brazilian rightwinger youtuber got so butthurt over me blocking him (I have less than 10% of his subscribers) on Birbsite, that he put out a video to his 335,000+ subscribers calling it a Marxist conspiracy. JFC. LMAO. 🤣
Experiencing harassment is never fun, but browsing the comments I discovered a whole world of people who are *really* upset about The Last of Us 2. 😆

I'm not user of void, but before I'm going to mxlinux from ubuntu I learn a bit about it.

Void linux is a distribution that strips any non-free element (proprietary) from its distro. When I'm going to install it, there's somebody that saying - because it's so rigidly adhere to the principle it might be hard to use even wifi card. That's why I'm still using mx (and in other pc artix linux).
