Hi all. I am going to implement a block for sh.itjust.works. I am going to need years of therapy from all the nasty crap coming from that instance.

    As someone who signed up for this instance based on its minimal blocked list, I’d like to know more. Was this targeted harassment by multiple users, bots, or something else?

      Swarms of either bots or a dedicated person with multiple accounts posting scat gifs everywhere.

        The same kind of account showed up spamming Kbin.social yesterday and admin got it blocked pretty quickly. I haven’t seen anything like that so far today. Hopefully it’s one dedicated troll and sh.itjust.works can get rid of them soon

          From what I’ve seen so far, they seem to have a consistent issue with moderation. Hopefully, they can start running a tighter ship, catching what’s clearly against their own stated rules rather than putting the onus on remote instances. Probably also something to say about Lemmy improving its moderation tools as well.

    I respect and understand your decision, I’ve personally had to block a few communities from that instance due to their problematic content.

    For the sake of transparency (which I feel have been the spirit of this instance so far), could you give us some examples that led up to this decision?

    To be honest… What Do people expect from a Domain literally called “shit just works”… No shit?

    I actually thought it was some edgy instance from the beginning… (like most Mastodon instances i visited)
