FediBlock drama was extra spicy this weekend. #AdminLife

With things somehow getting even worse on the birdsite, I'm gonna poke again at getting retro.pizza added to some of the server directories.

We've got plenty of room to grow! Invite your friends! #TwitterMigration #MastoMigrate #AdminLife

Catching up on all the fuss on the FediBlock tag from the spambot invasions over the weekend and I just don't get why people wanna have big servers with wide-open account registration. #AdminLife #MastoAdmin

Always a good weekend when the FediBlock tag is light on posts and consists mostly of newer admins discovering the usual bad actors. #RPAdmin #AdminLife #MastoAdmin

Gonna have to limit another big server because they either lack the willpower or the manpower to moderate Reply Guys. Do better, Big Masto. #AdminLife #RPAdmin

Just another day checking the FediBlock tag... #AdminLife

The r/mastodon subreddit really be like:

"Does anyone know of a subscription-only server I could join?"

"How do we attract venture capital to something messy like this? Is it possible to buy Mastodon and unify everything? What if we ran ads?"

"I got banned from Mastodon! So much for the tolerant Left!"

Catching up with FediBlock today, that's cool, I didn't need any of that pesky "faith in humanity" stuff. #RPAdmin #AdminLife

Not that I have imposter syndrome but my list here for following other admins is called "Hello Fellow Admins". #AdminLife

Watching the Fediverse for bad actors isn't only about Nazis, sometimes it's about THIS fresh hell:

Checking on the FediBlock tag today like

This comes up in #AdminLife when I go to a server that was mentioned on FediBlock and their public feed is all sticky, gape-mouthed anime children and boosts from the biggest 4chan-wannabe servers (usually poa.st or bae.st) and I go to put in a reason for blocking them in my mod panel and it’s like “Vibes”.

Whenever there's someone complaining that they keep getting banned from Mastodon servers and they don't know why there's a 100% it turns out they were being super transphobic. #AdminLife

@Jvolby @MataHaring All those abusers is why I can't have nice things.

The best part of r/mastodon is the people who would like to speak to John Mastodon about their account issues. #AdminLife #Admin

My primary goal as a server admin is to create a welcoming community but my secondary goal is to never be the main character on the FediBlock tag. #AdminLife

When people ask me software-level questions that are above me as a novice server admin I'm going to tell them to go ask John Mastodon. #AdminLife

retro.pizza has the best people 'cause I hardly ever get any reports from other servers on any of y'all.
#AdminLife

My approach to moving people here from my Transformers-focused communities on the birdsite is not unlike trying to get people out the door to get lunch at BotCon: Try to get a conversation going about it, then eventually just pick a place and leave and hope my friends notice and follow. #AdminLife #TwitterMigration

Kind of wild watching presumably well-meaning but still white male guys on here completely fail to understand why some things on Mastodon are the way they are. (It's because of the potential for harassment.) #AdminLife
