   @thomasfuchs At some point, it becomes either implicitly or explicitly the goal to *avoid* addressing moderation by way of technical discussions like this.

     @thomasfuchs jwz's argument is that blocking in Mastodon doesn't work in an intuitive or effective way, and I'm inclined to agree. So, saying "just block them" doesn't answer his complaint, because his complaint is that we, as individuals using the platform, don't really have the kind of block functionality he wants.

     Been fighting toxic people online for a long time.

     Thomas, there is also an industrial player that should be accounted for. They don't seem to operate here *yet* but trollfarms are a massive issue too and trollfarm accounts can be identified too.

     When they arrive and use automation to boost toxic actors is when it gets ugly and requires some tooling at the ready.

     Super true, at the end of the day we're still dealing with clever humans, for evil or good
