Now is the summer of our discotheque is a user on mst3k.interlinked.me. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
Discussion on IRC led to the following conclusions:
* Most tools on Mastodon for blocking are designed with "user runs their own instance" in mind
* Many of the most vulnerable elements of society can't afford to run their own instances, like trans people
* Tools for end-users are insuffiicent
* Existing silence vs suspend is woefully inadequate esp for "grey" instances where some users might be okay but not others
* Users are unable to really block domains
I have no good answers. 🤷
NOTE
THIS IS NOT MASTODON IRC
This was personal IRC for Interlinked.
This is in no way official discussion do not interpret it as such under pain of The Clamps™.
I have no clue what The Clamps™ are but assume it's Bad®.
