@MrEFinch That awful, I’m sorry to hear it. Where did they create their account? I think the domains in the screenshot are already blocked on my servers, but it would be good to make sure. In any case the general advice is to report the posts and ideally the entire server they come from can be blocked by the admin.

@Gargron
Hey there,
A friend joined Mastodon yesterday, made an introduction post where he mentioned that he is gay and then received an absolute deluge of really nasty homophobic abuse.
He was shocked and scared and immediately deleted his account.
I don't know how this can have happened or how we can protect against this.
Do you have any advice?
