@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

@mloxton @Fitik wow. A ton of extensions work without changes across the two, which is the case for the ones I used.

The more you know...😬🤦‍♂️

@Fitik yep, there's literally no excuse to be on a chromium based browser now.

You want your information to be sold? Use chrome.

You want to use the internet? Use literally anything else.

@Aatube great. I'm just seeing this because on Mastodon, for a user to get notified, you have to add their username in the body of the post.👍

Thanks for updating me.

@debounced Well, that's great! However, that still doesn't quell my concerns regarding Melroy's offer to the transphobe. He IS the creator, though it is good ya'll have a group, it still concerns me that someone so prominent with the project would associate themselves with such people.

I have many trans friends and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend the project until it's addressed.😬 😔

@fediverse

@HubertManne
Well...this is not a company. However, after reviewing the github. It does seem like there's at least one more who can approve merges
@fediverse

@HubertManne pretty sure that's how every project works in terms of merge requests...no? Even mastodon can only have merges approved by Eugen Rothko.🤷‍♂️

@HubertManne but if he has the merging powers, it doesn't matter because the buck stops with him on what's implemented.
