@joriki

For some reason it doesn't get a lot of attention, but there seem to be both a lot of profiles (accounts) that won't allow themselves to be translated, and some entire instances that block translation entierly

I've had it with people posting in some other language and forbidding any translation

Why am I expected to give up my finite screen space to someone I will never be able to read?

I don't

I #Mute and #Block and #DomainBlock if it's the entire instance

Today i learned that #BlueSky does have a mute function based on keywords.

Adding all the BS words from US about American sport, #celebrities, American #MSM, orange #Hitler, apartheid child and #genocide apologist #DNC have made my stream so much cleaner and less infuriating.

Discord announced on Monday a new feature that will help users ignore other people without them knowing. With just a button tap, you can now easily mute someone on Discord.

The main Fediverse platforms offer various protection tools: Mute and Block. For example, on Mastodon, the mute function can be set for a specific period of time. Mute means you won't see that person's posts, but you'll still be notified if they mention or tag you. A Block, on the other hand, means you don't want to see anything related to that person anymore. It's a much more radical action, useful if that person is disrupting your experience, offending you, or displaying any other serious behavior. In such cases, it’s important to file a report so administrators can take action and learn more about the user.

Sometimes I see advice to block immediately anyone posting content you don't want to see. In my opinion, if the content is simply not of interest to you, a mute is enough, while a block is more appropriate for people displaying clearly negative behavior.

Many platforms also offer filters: you can choose which words or hashtags you don't want to see and, accordingly, hide them. Filters can help personalize and improve your overall social experience.

@folfdk jeg har haft pixelfed i et par dage nu - og ved faktisk ikke helt hvad jeg skal bruge det til. og som en bruger pointerede herinde i dag mangler den nogle ret basale knapper som #mute #blokering etc. - men det kan jo være, det kommer med tiden med en opdatering. Jeg er dog en smule skeptisk pt. (som altid :))

@NatureMC
How to mute hashtags with Tusky (which is rather easy, if people use hashtags)

#tusky #mute

@anthropy

>> I think it's totally fair to #block and curate your own timeline to your own preferences

I'd rather use #mute, which is not invasive like #block.

The thing many users don't realize is that the effect of blocking is transitive — It affects not just the #toodler's timeline, but also that of all FOLLOWERS who might not have given their permission to the toddler to hide posts and posters from them when they decided to follow that account.

Blocking is broken in Mastodon

@Okanogen

@Okanogen

>> Nobody here, or anywhere, is obligated to listen sincerely to lies, nonsense, or offensive propaganda. #Blocking is not "gatekeeping"

Whatever semantics you want to ascribe to blocking, know that it is harmful https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/113861736729680774

Remember that it's the actual effect — Hiding #toodles behind a cute hashtag doesn't make them any less harmful.

Offensive posts/posters can be silenced and hidden will less invasive tools like #mute without breaking threads.

@anthropy @chkdsk

@DavidBruchmann >> #blocking shouldn't hide the posts of the past….

@steter >> Weird… the original post is lost to the thread (because I broke the thread when I blocked them…). This has the magical flavor of a bug in #mastodon.

This is not a bug, but a flaw in #ActivityPub, or the way Mastodon interprets it.

Losing posts is why blocking is so harmful. It fragments the #fediverse.

Better to use #mute and report harassers to moderators instead of carrying out #vigilanteJustice

@GottaLaff

How can I tell who's muted by me?

A minute or so I used the mute routine, expecting a duration as part of the routine.

I suspect that I inadvertently muted someone indefinitely, when a week would have been more appropriate …

#Mastodon #mute #GUI

@evacide @Salty I see. #mute

People make up your mind. Either you want to have #freespeach or #ContentModeration XD

Example:
There are probably moderators from #Israel which remove content about #Palestine

Personally I think social media should not be moderated in any other way than you having a simple button "#block" or "#mute". Also interests lists would be good.

For sure I would not like to have any moderator picking what is the #truth. Humans are biased as fuck. #facebook #meta #moderation

@rolle

"3. When the obscure and dark instances or nostr users find your posts and start posting hateful content because of "free speech""

Every invocation of "my right to free speech" needs to be greeted with the following, every time:

"For those who demand their 'right to free speech' do remember that there is a reciprocal, inverse right which says that I have no obligation whatsoever to listen to your 'free speech' or even see any part of it"

#Mute and #Block and #DomainBlock #FreeSpeech

@stefan

CW's are one of the very oldest and most irritating topics the HOA / Hall Monitor class loves to go on about

Harassment?

If more than once from the same person, yeah

Personally I #Mute and #Block the #HOA #Karens on first sight

What’s the hashtag for the Late Late Toy Show?

#MastoDaoine #mute

Well, this is lovely

In case you hadn't noticed yet (lucky you) there's been a new "feature" rolled out on @Mastodon dot Social -- brand name #Wrapstodon -- that creates a bright-and-shiny summary of your past year on #Mastodon

Think: video game streaming platform #Twitch and its "Twitch Year in Review"

Here's what Renchap has just posted about Wrapstodon on #Github:

"What is this notification type, and will it ever recur? [Wrapstodon] # 33152 Bug"

"This notification type is specific to Wrapstodon, and will happen every year when an admin generate the statistics (which currently require some custom console code)"

"It is not documented. The feature is not finished, but it has been decided to enable it on mastodon.social as it wont be fully finished before the end of the year, and this feature is mostly useful in december"

So

Wrapstodon has been early-released, is not documented, and yet somehow "At the moment, clients should ignore it (and we recommend that client ignore unknown notification types by default..."

All I can say about it is that it's eye candy and makes it very easy to pick out people who I'd want to #Mute and #Block anyway...
