MODERATORS

[email protected]

Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members, Nazi apologists, and genocide deniers? (lemmings.world)

I think its good because some users really want that feature. But i think on by default for every user could encourages users to run multiple burner style accounts which is a huge problem for moderation and doesnt solve the problem users try to solve from tagging.

Example you might have me tagged as a Nazi because you dont want to interact or be subtly influenced by my less blatant comments. However if I knew everyone did this then I'd run one account for the blatant stuff and one account for blending in.

Its why I'm kind of against platform banning users instead of having individual blocks. Its better to bad actors known and operating in the open than to have them hiding and avoiding moderation.
