These days on the federated timeline the only major annoyances I ever see are aloof US Democrats. We have a really good instance blocklist, and shitty edgelord authcoms like to stick together once they find a rock someone will (bafflingly) allow them to live under. Since more twitter users and ex-tumblr users diffuse across instances the un-cw'd US electoral politics is much more of a persistent issue on federated microblogging.

However it hasn't escaped my notice, and I'm sure the notice of many others, that federated Reddit alternatives and other AP software harbors way more of those bunkerchan and 4chan /leftypol/ shitheads, along with a lot of the less online "true believers" who probably run struggle sessions for Red Guard chapters. The seamless transition of Reddit and image board culture to the fediverse has been a complete and unmitigated disaster all around, but where Fediblock doesn't exist it is far worse. And where the medium remains stylistically similar these shitheads feel automatically welcomed to resume all the worst behaviors from their old websites. Clean out the douchebags early or your site becomes an open sewer that will end up cut off from everyone else. Take reports of that shit seriously, because they are testing how much you will put up with and will continually dial-up the edgelord shithead behavior otherwise. They attract their douchebag friends by doing this.

Disappointing how these days the only times I see antisemitism being brought up, are to harass Black people on here for wording a thought about Gaza slightly wrong according to American suburbanites. Much worse shit in the past was given a free pass and is continually ignored because it has the right revolutionary aesthetic painted over it.
