   So like - what do you do when a user on an instance (noagendasocial.com) can see/interact with your content but you can't see/interact back?

   This just happened and it was p alarming -- it turns out they are an actual nazi on an instance with a lotta nazi content.

   I could see their replies to me on their instance page. They were unsearchable/unfindable/unblockable here AFAIK.

   Do I just hafta deal with the occasional random unblockable nazi???

     I have heard that there are nests of low lifes in the fediverse such as Detroit City Riot. They have every dysfunction.

     Typically these get de-federated promptly. Presumably then they can't interact, although possibly they can still see your posts that might get to them via an instance that isn't blocking them.

     I have never spotted anything like that. I gather from the nature of your work they look for you.

     Luckily the admin of hoosier social is really cool ... but! This is a real problem that seems like a larger mastodon problem, right? Like I post publicly and I'm cool with that, but it seems Really Weird that a situation is possible where people can interact with my content and I can't block them and move on.

      and Christi Junior repeated this.

     @thekitmalone I have noticed that sometimes I can't see the profile page on other instances.

     Can you block them? Definitely report if that option is available.

     Worth talking to your friendly neighbourhood admin.

     @hoosiersocial

     Edit, spotted that you've already copied admin in before.

     @BlueDot @leighms

     That is so weird. I learned about them through the fact that they were somehow replying to my toots via a user on another instance. I saw their handle in the replies and was just curious, initially.

     @thekitmalone
     They're suspended from my little instance, and I see they're also suspended on hoosier.social, which explains why you can't see their posts or search out their accounts. So they can't do their harrassment and intimidation on your timeline, which is both "working as designed" and cold comfort.

     @leighms
     You heard right. There are lists of servers that harbor fascists and whatnot, which you can find on hashtag FediBlock. Mostly they're an island defederated from the rest of us.

     @thekitmalone have taken a look on that instance.
     They're not all nutjobs, but ranting seems to be the default mode there.

     A few decades ago we had a visit from Special Branch on how to check for car bombs and were issued with telescopic mirrors. One or two people had been attracting the attention of some radicalised folk. One had a colleague in Bristol who had a bomb attached to his car.

     I'd already had that training from working at a place targeted by the IRA.

     Mosdef - I've had some scary moments in the past.

     I've accepted being a local public figure - and enjoy having a platform (because frankly eff them).

     I know there's a tradeoff with that and with personal safety and I've taken it.

     I just think it's bad that people can interact with me in ways that I can't directly respond to in any way. And I can't imagine I'm the only person to experience this!

     @BlueDot @leighms it's honestly as if the designers of this thing didn't consider that harassment spills over into real life too?

     @BlueDot @thekitmalone @leighms

     Hey all, sorry for the delay. Just got back from the gym (💪) and I'm catching up on notifications.

     Yup, my Moderation notes on noagendasocial.com say, "Added 1/4/2023 from FediBlock (https://joinfediverse.wiki/FediBlock)." Same goes for detroitriotcity.com, FWIW.

     I'm going to add a block directly for that user, too. Let me know if that changes the functionality you're experiencing. Good lookin' out and thanks for the heads-up.

     @thekitmalone @leighms @hoosiersocial Aclu and a tranny, imagine being a gender traitor and a politically retarded faggot at the same time.
