my approach to moderation is really best summed up by that post bea made 4 years ago when she blocked sunshinegardens.org

don’t worry that’s not a mastodon instance anymore

(long) explanation 

@david uhhhh searching isn’t enabled on glitch.social and this was a very long time ago so there’s no way i’m going to be able to find the actual post

but the brief summary was something like “i’m tired of seeing this in my timeline, i’m tired of having to deal with it, and it doesn’t bring me joy. so bye”

the social context of this was that sunshine gardens was the (mostly) personal instance of xj9, who was a fediverse user back in 2017 who was pretty involved with open source technologies and fediverse development, as well as big on the solarpunk scene, so they had connections with a lot of the early mastodon adopters/developers. but they also had a tendency towards occasionally making posts which were incendiary and at least a little racist, and federating with people who most of the rest of the mastodon fediverse weren’t happy with.

i don’t think (?) they’re on the fediverse anymore at all, and this is all old history, but i was the backup moderator for glitch.social at this time so i remember it
