   • I moved to Mastodon.social

   Over the last few hours Mastodon treasure @Teri_Kanefield has been the victim of very vulgar harassment on her server law-and-politics.online.

   Mastodon lets users create their own instances, but you need to block bad instances.

   Fortunately, Mastodon provides support for this:

   Other recommendations, specific instructions?

     @lessa @mastodonmigration @Teri_Kanefield alternatively, I (the .art admin) researched the claims, had native PTBR speaking people translate messages for me, had conversations with the ursal.zone admin in English, verified everything, got receipts and testimonies of abuse from other small PTBR instances that u.z harassed, and then was threatened with legal action by the admin if I went through with the block. I discussed it all openly on the Curator account at the time. But sure, you do you.

     Allow me to criticize this initiative.

     There is a recommendation to silence the largest Brazilian server (ursal.zone), which is a left-wing, anti-fascist Brazilian instance that welcomes several black and LGBTQIA+ people.

     The administrator of Mastodon Art without ascertaining the facts and without any evidence chose to block this instance after a single person defamed it.

     I remember that at the time the Mastodon Art admin was even based on a poorly translated message in Portuguese. Which was bizarre, not to say prejudiced due to the lack of importance and negligence that he dealt with this Brazilian audience.

     That is, a blocking list where an important instance may appear, for the sole reason of personal feud between administrators, is completely useless and a disservice to Mastodon.

     This team should have a serious commitment to evaluating evidence, rather than following rumors and unsubstantiated claims.
