Last Sunday, I had a great conversation with @alex about his background, his work on the #fediverse and why it matters. Followed up with the week's news and the music of #LittleRichard. Three hours, every Sunday night at 9pm CST.

you have to keep in mind our only rule is users of a server must respect the "right to disengage". We have that federation rule for reasons that go well beyond anything to do with administrators or mods (that only played a role in this particularly instance).

Its mostly a rule about ban evasion. If someone blocks you or exits a conversation then there is an expectation a user from another server wont try to evade that block.

If this were simply a single user harassing me I likely would have just muted that user until it was over. but this was orchastrated across dozens of users with an attempt to evade the mute I put in place and insert themselves into my notifications after I asked to be left alone.

If this had happened to a user rather than a moderator the consequence would have been the same, defederation if the server admins didnt intervene.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but would there be an obstacle to personally muting the server while leaving it unblocked on the account listed as site admin? Seems to be the best of both worlds - you get to ignore instances as you please, but you can still see the full context if someone reports me in a thread involving users from those instances.

@freemo @khird That seems a bit more reasonable to me. But yeah, it could be harder if you like to do casually social media stuff and moderation at the same time.

Join the Federated-chat-over-activity-pub-using-pleroma movement! There are three key points

1. Set up pleroma from source, but use the remake-remodel-dms branch
2. Rebuild the front-end but use the direct-conversations branch
3. Change the config so that logged-out users land on the /about page and logged in users on the /users/foo/chats page
