Comment on Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members and genocide deniers?

  I think PieFed gives reputation warning icons for entities it thinks are statistically bad actors.

    Not sure I like this though. That kinda stuff can just as easily be used to enforce echo chambers and censorship.

      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.

    And Admiral Patrick on the instance dubvee.org, but it is regional for the state of West Virginia in the USA (tho he might be willing to share his blocked list?).

      Not sure how much you’d want to trust his list. During the Luigi incident many users were instance banned simply for supporting Luigi, and the bans stand to this day.

        And instantly we arrive at the problem with these kinds of requests: how to exclude certain kinds of people, but only the right certain kinds of people, and preferably with no effort on our part?

        I for one have yet to find a way.

        they will probably need some kind of filter to allow things like luigi, unless its constantly spammed.

  I’m using voyager app and I just know about this! Is that a feature I should turn on in the setting? Because right now, I couldn’t seem to find the option “tag” anyone.

  was thinking of something similar to this except for web users too. for example if a user is reported as someone with a malicious history and/or has affiliations with malicious people/sites, the instance admins/mods review the evidence of the reporters and if the evidence is sufficient, that user gets flagged and the flag federates across instances. maybe a red “!” next to the name that has a note when you hover the cursor over it or tap it to warn users to be careful around that person. idk a thing about programming though so I don’t know how hard/easy this’d be to implement lol

    It would be cool if people could subscribe to an auto updating blocklist group. So if one or x amount of person blocks it applies to the entire group.
