I just had a post reported by "mastodon.online"
Which is odd because that is a domain, not a user, and there is nothing wrong with the post at all.
What is going on? Is this some new kind of spam?
@aubreyjones, I'm obviously going to dismiss this but can anyone tell me why there isn't a user who made this report? Why is it just the domain? It feels very OFF.

) @alice@lgbtqia.spaceOkay, I want to take a moment to talk about toot-shaming behavior on Fedi. But first, I want to thank the person who blocked me for introducing me to the term "pornado"—I will cherish it.
So, there's a kind of reply-person on Fedi who seems to like to *vocally* use moderation tools. It's not enough to block or report someone, they have to loudly announce it, to rub it in. It's a "fuck you *slams door*" kind of response.
I typed out a paragraph defending my OP, but you can see for yourself, it's linked below.
While discussing where to take this post, my girlfriend pointed out that the behavior whiffs of the same thing I was talking about in my "doubt caltrops" post. It's a way of policing behavior that isn't against any rules, but that *they* find personally objectionable.
Just filter/block/report as necessary and move the fuck on.
@celeste_42bit@infosec.exchangeBlanket-bans SUCK.
Over and over, I hear voices who demand bans on #socialmedia access for people below a certain age or general bans of social media.
Please stop thinking you can just ban the problem away. Think for example about the people who use social media as a safe space... the LGBTQ+ #kids and teens in some conservative hinterland who use social media to be able to connect to other #queer kids, which is impossible to do safely in public.
There is an undeniable, overproportional impact on marginalized communities.
That's just one example.
To solve the (anti-)social media issue, we need #education and #moderation, not generalized #bans for a certain group.

Independently confirming this one from techhub.social.
#FediBlock / #InstanceBlock

Spam - Instance is flooding the timeline with AI generated spam.
A glance over the timeline shows a ton of #AI generated content, repeating the same phrases over and over again in different contexts, seemingly to build fake discourse and infiltrate real discourse. Accounts are over a month old, meaning administration has not done anything about it. Blocking as #Spam, recommending other server #staff do the same.

A not-so-random reminder: Mastondon #moderation needs YOUR reports to be excellent.
@kkarhan@infosec.space#Minecraft #Griefers whining [www.youtube.com] about getting banned by #Mojang are just pathetic!
- Like what did you expect? Getting a cookie??
It's not like #Microsoft doesn't know how to handle #toxic #gamers...
- Either consider blowing $$ regularly on new accounts as a "business expense" or reflect upon your actions [www.youtube.com] for once.

@lorry@infosec.exchangeSince I am on an IT Security server now, I thought I'd post this just to depress the younger folks. Roll on #UBI !

www.linkedin.comAgeism in Trust & SafetyThis last few months, I have been conducting an accidental study into ageism in the Trust & Safety and Security industries. At the moment, it's good that I don't desperately need a job, but it's been enlightening being even casually on the market again after a decade.
There's nothing you can do about this, I am just pointing it out. Instead of a tip maybe just don't blame them for the fact that Facebook never removes anything bad, or any obvious scammers. I am sure they want to remove them, but those managers I mentioned won't give them any agency at all to do the right things.

If they did somehow get a tip, their department VPs and directors would almost certainly decide they deserved it more than the front-line workers.

Have you tipped your content moderators lately?
No? ... No.
That's because there is no way to tip these people, who are seeing the worst of the worst so that you don't have to, working long hours with very few breaks for below-living wages. While doing this, they have to deal with a management structure that is so disconnected from what they do that you'd never believe it if you saw it on a TV show.

It's a shame for all those journalists out there that Bluesky's amateurish moderation is "not ready for prime time".
