   I love that mastodon is adding all these useless features while simultaneously ignoring the asinine moderation tools for its own platform...😒

     @emaechler I have to manually see something offensive to remove it.

     I can have offending posts on my instance and I'm not aware of it because I haven't *seen* it...🤦♂️

     There's MUCH more automation that can be done than having to view something with my own eyes to remove it. Then if it's just a single post. I have to report that post to myself, then go to the moderation interface to view the report and finally remove the single post.

     @emaechler well, since I am on a single user instance like yourself, I'm quite certain that the local timeline won't help me because I won't be reporting my own posts.

     There's automation already working with other Fediverse softwares that work fine. They use the same system as automated email spam systems AFAIK. It's called "Akismet"

     @BeAware yes as long no one report a post - you can not see whats going on on your instance. you can use your lokal feed to see what other people publish - is that not enough? how should your automation work? KI? like tiktok that flag normal post as bad? rofl i hope not or?

     BeAware :fediverse: repeated this.

     @emaechler well we can't add it to Mastodon, but it's already on OTHER Fediverse software.

     Also, maybe I am wrong, but I was under the impression that Akismet is customizable to adapt to these types of things.

     @emaechler sure, but this would help block certain hashtags from propagating. This would at least be a start...

     I didnt say it was smart, but its automated.

     @BeAware you can add words to a blocklist - but it is not a smart software....

     @emaechler he's got me blocked lmao.

     And it's my own instance. I shouldn't have to see something that I don't want to see.

     If I send you some ridiculous crap like CSAM, will you hold onto it so you aren't censoring me by blocking me?😬

     @BeAware i dont like blacklists thats censorship and the fediverse is an open universe. if you want censor go to x :P

     did you add your suggestion to the github requests? or did you tell @Gargron your idea ? perhaps you are lucky and he see this as a good idea as well ...

     @emaechler but then I have to see it....we're going in circles.🤣

     I just don't want to see certain stuff on my instance. It's that simple. I don't want it to exist in my space. That should be fair and possible. However, it's not and I find that extremely unsettling.

     I am FORCED to see stuff I don't want to see, because I can't remove it without seeing it. That's wild as hell...

     @emaechler well, my use of relays makes this harder as well. But if I don't use relays, I have to go on other instances to find content to follow.🤷♂️

     It's a double edged sword that can easily be helped with Akismet or similar systems.

     @BeAware i have a single instance as well as you. my run on a raspi4 and i saw that i have big trouble when i activate relay - my raspi will crash. thats why i follow 1 user per other instance ... for me thats a good solution
