> in what shows up in the tags where us admins share block recommendations

Things like #fediblock you mean? Most of the block suggestions there are

- against instances because they federate (as in, they let their users view and reply to posts) with certain other instances (gab, kiwifarms, etc) even if indirectly <https://tabletop.social/@host/103308182908324413>

- against instances that host anyone who kyzh doesn't like

- against instances that host someone who got tagged by someone else that resides in an already blocked instance <https://toot-lab.reclaim.technology/@djsundog/10402250286634...

- against instances for no reason given at all <https://tenforward.social/@guinan/104015065073049864>

- against instances for made-up reasons

- against non-instances <https://mastodon.art/@Curator/103768019516091512>

Seeing an instance on a block tag does not mean anything other than that certain extremist elements are finding said instance to not strictly follow their party line at the first glance.

> Watching anime is fine by me, I’ve enjoyed the hell out of a lot of the stuff in my time.

What was your intention by focusing at the anime avatars then? To promote prejudice? To focus on the fact that they are introverts? To make fun of them for being unmanly and having cute avatars? There seems to be a lot of bullying directed at people just because of their avatars.

As I said before my experience is exactly the opposite. I started making all of my statuses private because I was getting stressed every time that someone from mastodon reposted or replied to my status. There seems to be an endless supply of mastodon users willing to jump on random threads just to insult, harass, and shit-talk people behind their backs.




If you are that rare shining example of someone with a cute anime girl icon who does not regularly engage in '''ironic''' assholery straight from the bowels of 4chan and vehemently argues that their right to free speech is being impinged any time someone tells them to fuck off because they are being a jerk, then I have nothing but the best wishes for you and your friends of a similar bent. You are a lonely flame in the darkness and I wish there were far more of you, whatever your actual and/or desired gender in the fleshy world is.

I just think the fact that this association exists is fucking hilarious, it's a detail that nobody even began to get anywhere near imagining in all the sci-fi I read growing up.


> If you are that rare

Except it is not rare at all. Did you read what I posted regarding fediblock?

A simple question, do you block fedi.absturztau.be by any chance?


Nope! And a look through the local timeline, as well as the one public admin account, doesn’t show anything I’d block, either. I think this may be the first time I’ve looked at a Pleroma run by moe girls and not been smacked in the face by hate propaganda or admins encouraging trolling behavior.

(I also don’t go looking at any fediverse site besides my own unless I am investigating reports of bad behavior, tbh. So if there is a vast constellation of chill moe Pleromae I’m missing it. And quite possibly forming invalid stereotypes due to this bias in my sampling.)
