@Gargron We need to make sure these false positives stop happening with such troubling frequency to underrepresented folks.

@dantheclamman @Gargron what frequency did you notice exactly? Gargron mentioned merely 2 cases...

Dr. Dan Killam

@nicolas17
There have been a bunch of other cases of servers with premature blocks. A trans journalist banned from a journalist server for example

@dantheclamman If it was on another server then it seems totally unrelated to this...

Dr. Dan Killam

@nicolas17
It is not unrelated. It is part of a broader trend across servers which is why I said "we"

@dantheclamman @nicolas17 This is something that should be addressed to the admins of the instance where these people were banned. Here it is only about the intances mastodon.social and mastodon.online. Since Mastodon, in opposite to the birdside, is a decentralized network, there are several instances and servers, each controlled by its own admin and moderation team. mastodon.online and mastodon.social have no influence on content and moderation policies of other instances.
