Hi all. I am going to implement a block for sh.itjust.works. I am going to need years of therapy from all the nasty crap coming from that instance.

As someone who signed up for this instance based on its minimal blocked list, I'd like to know more. Was this targeted harassment by multiple users, bots, or something else?

I signed up here for the same reason, this is worrying.

Swarms of either bots or a dedicated person with multiple accounts posting scat gifs everywhere.

The same kind of account showed up spamming Kbin.social yesterday and admin got it blocked pretty quickly. I haven't seen anything like that so far today. Hopefully it's one dedicated troll and sh.itjust.works can get rid of them soon

I respect and understand your decision, I've personally had to block a few communities from that instance due to their problematic content.

For the sake of transparency (which I feel have been the spirit of this instance so far), could you give us some examples that led up to this decision?
