There are many people on social media including #mastadon that have good intentions. They're not aiming to cause offense or be prejudiced against anyone. For the sake of brevity - these types of people have good intentions #personalites. Colloquially, "their hearts are in the right "place" 💕

But, there are some horrible people that do have bad intentions.

This toot is to help people recognise when a toot may not be what it first seems.

"fishing" toots can take many forms. I will describe the general "fishing" pattern of one particular form of fishing toot - so readers can more effectively recognize them.

1. A toot is posted that features words that are an explicit (obvious) form of #prejudice

*Keywords*

An example toot.

"*color* people do not reply to this! But, you can boost it! "color" people you have a problem that you should reflect upon!".

I'd advise well-intended people - do *not* reply to these types of *fishing* toots. Whatever you say, it will be *twisted* & used to accuse you of being prejudice.

Personally, l'd report the "fishing' toot to the admin (& "block"). The admins response may inform people regarding the admins stance on prejudice.

Note for QOTO admin. What type of people are more probable to want to report \ remove this post?

But, there are some horrible people #sociopathology. Some, but not most, people on social media including #mastadon have some very bad intentions. They have an agenda that is nothing to do with #justice. They have personal problems #psychology that cause them to *not* want to treat people fairly (at all).

Psychologically, we can say they have an extreme form of #PersonalityDisorder #cruelty.
However, there is help available. People with personality disorders experience abnormal #antisocial thoughts and behaviors that keep them from functioning as well as they should #UnderStatement https://www.apa.org/topics/personality-disorders/help

To keep this toot on focus, the type of bad agents this toot is referring to spread disinformation #lies #propaganda. They intentionally spread lies and try to deceive people #NotNice!

There are many examples of #disinformation. #greenwash is one example.

Another form of disinformation is a type of toot - that some people are tooting that is "fishing" to accuse people of #racism.

These "fishing" toots can also take many forms. However, I will describe the general "fishing" pattern I have observed so readers can more effectively recognize them.

1. A toot is posted that features words that are an explicit form of #racism #prejudice

*Keywords*

An example toot, "*color* people do not reply to this! But, you can boost it! "color" people you have a #racist problem that you should reflect upon!".

I'd advise well-intended people - do *not* reply to these types of *fishing* toots. Whatever you say, it will be *twisted* & used to accuse you of racism.

Furthermore, it would seem that some mastodon #admin either can not recognize the obvious intentions of these "fishing" toots - or, for reasons I will not describe here - don't care #scicomm #admin.

In summary - there are some shitty people on social media. However, due to the #fediverse network structure - well-intended people can help to regulate the network and make mastodon a welcoming place.

So, if you do read a "fishing" toot, please don't simply ignore it. #report those tooters to the admin. If the admin has some brains and ethical values - they will delete the toot and ban or mute the tooters #admins #instance.

If the admin to not take this appropriate action - and even take the "fishing" tooters side and says *you* should *reflect* on your problems - *Criticize* the admin in "public" on the instance - and then leave the instance! Though, before I had time to leave the #scicomm instance - my account was frozen.

Thanks for the favor scicomm.xyz. It's better to learn sooner, rather than later, how your mastodon instance admins moderates racism (or not)
