MODERATORS
LOL, the OOP's username in that linked thread is certainly a username.
Really appreciate all the human eyes keeping a lookout for this nonsense instead of letting the ragebait spiral in on itself with the algorithms.
The mod comment is glorious in the replies:
Fuckin' mike drop.
It's a pretty good take, but also the defederation ban-hammer seems to get dropped a bit, which seems like it should be the last option, not the first.
Surely there should be a way to mark content coming in from questionable servers with a tag so that users can choose to see it on their instance, similar to how NSFW posts can be hidden.
At least that way the content would be federated and things synced, leaving the choice up to the user.
Just in case users really wanted to see some hate speech mixed in with their regular discussions?
