Hey @scarlett you forgot the CSI stickers ;P

Some decisions are straightforward, and we'll action them straight off (e.g. there's absolutely no need to discuss an instance swarming with nazis). Some are less so, and we'll discuss them among themselves. We occasionally post updates to @postmaster if we think our decisions (especially instance blocks) may be relevant to our users

We prefer to apply restrictions at user-level, but this depends upon circumstances. An instance which doesn't respond to harrassment by a member, or which has "pro free speech" dogwhistles in its terms of service will probably find itself blocked. One where a substantial fraction of the home timeline would be tagged by our local rules will probably find itself silcenced.

Secondly, categorization:
* Harrassment results in a hard block. No ifs, no buts.
* Hate speech in almost all circumstances earns a block.
* Violating our "social conventions" (e.g. untagged content, usage of slurs) results in being silenced

Since its perhaps one of the most controversial aspects of instance moderation, I thought it might be worthwhile to discuss how we handle remote user and instance blocks queer at queer.af:

Firstly, we mostly act reactively. We aren't out trawling through the fediverse looking for the poop; we mostly rely on either seeing it in the federated timeline or reports from users.

In this age of abundant, cheap, powerful Arm dev boards this thing is silly, but there's also a weird charm to it

So I have this smol Vortex86dx powered mini PC which some of you might have overheard last night I'm installing NetBSD on to have some fun with

1GHz, 586 class, 512MB RAM. In a previous life ran CentOS as a glorified MP3 player

I'm going to stuff a USB stick inside as boot device and put it in my cupboard

No really:

Dear JK Rowling

How can the Prime Minister be able to continue to commit the criminal offences of actus reus by omissions in public office and pervert the course of justice and allow the breaching of the human rights article three to continue
