How can a mastodon user tell if their account is "hidden" or "limited" ?
-
I'm not completely clear how an account being limited is victimhood?
What are you suggesting social networks should do instead, not limit accounts at all?

@charlesdelavalleepoussin @footils
The lack of diversity on here is a serious problem but it's not going to be solved by allowing everyone to post whatever they want without ever limiting or blocking anyone.
There needs to be MORE moderation on here, not less. People need to be protected from hatred, not exposed to it.
We need more tools like reply controls and automatic alerts for moderators when bad keywords are used.
No one should be seeing hatred in their feeds due to lax moderation.

I follow a lot of people critical of the Fediverse on my personal account to keep tabs on how bad the problem is and what exactly is going wrong.
The main issue raised is too many purveyors of hatred being allowed to attack members of minorities. Allowing hate puts people off staying here, accounts posting hate need to be banned.
If you removed all limits on what accounts could say and do, it would make the situation much worse.

I see this a lot with accounts I want to follow.
1. Can admins do this without notifying the user?
2. Is it possible to see the reason accounts have been censored?
If the answers to any of these two questions is "no" then it seems mastodon is subject to abuse from biased/rogue admins and moderators.

@charlesdelavalleepoussin @FediTips As opposed to billionaire tech-bros doing exactly that? Why not host your own instance & you can do the moderating yourself?
-
but they don't reply
and also "go find another server" is like "this restaurant is racist? go elsewhere". it puts the onus on the victim not the perpetrator
@charlesdelavalleepoussin @FediTips Get back to us once you have solved for those issues on #META #X #Substack #TruthSocial #Reddit etc

I'm not communicating with that server. I communicated with people I followed and who followed me.
Your privileged rationalisation of victimhood will age badly.
What I'm hearing is that there is zero mechanism for holding admins/owners to account. How convenient.
@charlesdelavalleepoussin @FediTips Start your instance & show us all how it’s done oh righteous one!
-
you've shown a poor level of maturity (like some mastodon admins) and I can't make you understand
but this conversation will perhaps highlight to others what the issue is
@charlesdelavalleepoussin @FediTips Actually, what this conversation thread highlights to me is that you can’t make a coherent case & instead you keep whining, pissing, & moaning senselessly.

@charlesdelavalleepoussin@mastodon.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @footils@social.cologne actually if you know why you got banned from a fediverse server the admins always respond, @stux@mstdn.social is quite reachable

@patricus
When we suspend we do that with a reason and attach why it's done

If you DM me your handle i can look into it if you like
