Comment on Paging Mr. Manager
ptz@dubvee.org 2 months agoSome have already, and I don’t blame them one bit. I’m hesitant to since it’s mostly one troll over and over again, and I don’t want to block the whole instance because of that single jerk.
OTOH, I’m considering it, at least as a temporary measure. I usually reserve that for more severe matters (massive spam campaigns, CSAM, etc), but I’ve only got so much patience.

If somebody can’t moderate their instance in any kind of way that’s impacting other parts of the federation, it makes sense to defederate until they fix their problems.
I don’t think anybody should have open signups. It’s literally just an invitation to mess with the rest of us who are federated with the instance.

I’m split on open signups.
On one hand, it makes switching from something like Reddit easier. For people acting in good faith, that’s a good thing. On the other, it’s open season for trolls.
That said, I don’t think an instance with less than a team of admins spanning multiple time zones should have open registrations. Admins have lives and need sleep, so a single-admin instance with open signups has a huge window of opportunity for bad faith actors to take advantage.
There are automod tools which can help with this, but I still think open signups should only be enabled when an instance can have an admin on hand 24/7.

I think also most instance owners do more wirh their days than moderate their instance. At least I hope so, for their sake. :)

I do, and would hope so as well 😆
