  • One additional suggestion I might make is to allow you to report the post to your own instance admins but not the host admins. This would be useful for when you want a post to be hidden or an instance defederated and you don’t want to also send your identity to the instance you’re reporting.

    This might be used for:

    Reporting spam coming from an instance that is unlikely to delete it.

    Reporting CSAM on an instance that supports it.

    Reporting hate speech on instances that believe hate speech is covered by free speech.

    Etc.



  • I am not going to go into whether it’s right or not, but using the term “B*tching” may not be a slur, but it is still considered misogynistic in many cases, because it is comparing a negative action (complaining) with a misogynistic stereotype (the B*tch).

    R*tard is a slur, but if you called something r*tarded, that would still be ableist and be rightfully removed. Many people believe that the same logic should apply to misogynistic slurs.

    Whether you agree or not is up to you, but the developers’ logic for the filter being in the state it is is sound.
