Mastodon does have a reporting feature - but remember there are thousands of decentralized servers, all with their own rules. You might be able to find a server that will match your censorious desires and act on your reports - but you aren't going to wipe people off the platform wholesale. There is no central committee for content policing. It's kind of the point of the whole platform.
So instead of reporting, as others have pointed out, just put on your big boy pants and ban people you don't want to see in your own feed and stop wasting various server admins time. The problem is many on the left aren't content with merely curating their own feed - they feel some moral imperative to save the rest of us from people they see as pRoBlEmAtIc too. Hehe - that isn't going to work on Mastodon - again, by design.
- wewtyflakes 4y agoThis could have been an interesting comment until it injected "The problem is many on the left...". The first paragraph stood on it own.
- EricE 4y agoIt's still relevant to the core conflict. Some may not like it being stated out loud - that still doesn't make it any less relevant or true.
- pwinnski 4y agoAll you reveal with that statement is that your posts tend to irritate people on the left. There are plenty on censorious people on the right as well, but you'd have to post lefty stuff to run into them.
- kulahan 4y agoThank you very much for the information, I feel like I understand what's going on now. Honestly I kinda like that design now that I understand it. Thanks again!
