@Fitik I'm talking moderation on a level that a user cannot do themselves.

Blocking and muting are not moderation, they're user tools to limit your feed, nothing more.

@Fitik and Fediverse only gained a few thousand.

We're losing because of the lack of moderation tools.

People don't always want to be a part of the moderation process. Matter of fact, I'd say most don't.

Therefore, people will just block and mute, and if it keeps happening, they'll leave.

If user reports continue to be the only way for moderation to happen, Fedi fails.

I've been beating this drum for almost a year and it really feels like it's never going to get fixed, unfortunately.😔

@Lost_My_Mind yeah, just reporting.

I want to do the actual judgement, but if I don't know the post exists, I can't judge anything and it makes me so mad that possible racist stuff can exist on my instance without my knowledge because I havent "seen" it.

@fediverse

@cm0002 no, I want automated reports.

A user using the n word, full on with the hard R, isn't gonna be a good post. It should be automatically reported to me so that I can judge context and take action.

If a user doesn't report it, I won't see it.

I'm on my own instance, I am the user.

If I don't report it, nobody sees it.

That's dumb.

@fediverse

@AterNox @dch82 doesn't exist for admins. It works on a "user" level. But that won't remove the post or data from the instance, it just "hides" it so the single user can't see.

@fediverse

@AterNox @dch82 blocking and reporting work fine.

However, people from corporate social media won't report posts because in their experience, it either doesn't get taken seriously or the admins ignore it. Corporate social media sites don't exactly act on reports in a timely manner.

I'm on my own instance, I moderate for myself. I don't want slurs to exist on my instance at all. However, if I don't see them with my own eyes, I cannot ban the user.

PS. I'm talking about banning users that are harassing others on the instance level. These are user actions. I am an admin. I run my own instance.

@fediverse

@dch82 first, "normies" have to not get harassed when they come here.

Unfortunately the biggest Fedi software refuses to add automated reporting of offensive posts so if it's not reported, the admins won't even see it.

People coming from corporate social media are used to ignoring the report button because in their experience, it either doesn't work, or gets ignored by admins anyway.

We need automated reporting.

@fediverse

@BrikoX @tilefan it's not possible to see previously posted followers only posts. You'll only see what's been posted since you followed.

@fediverse

@andrew_s he was actually incorrect with his idea about how to get around it.

I've seen his idea tried in real time and it brought the site down immediately.

It really sucks that just because I have a small following that if I share a link to a small blog or website, it would take it down.🤦‍♂️
