So (no shade!) I'm seeing a few people say they automatically block anyone from mastodon.social. What's the deal with it? I'm out of the loop. I signed up with them in the early days because my other instances went poof.
@garpu it's a very large instance so the moderators are overworked and it's by far the most targeted by spammers and harassers because of it's high reach
@garpu the person who runs it is Gargron himself (well, I'm sure he employs ppl) who I'd still consider a decent guy, even though I disagree with him on a lot of things regarding Mastodon
Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
