I would like to hear some opinions, preferably from other Mastodon admins/moderators, regarding suspensions and unsuspensions.
Would you prefer to:
1. Let mods delete offending posts and send notifications to the author while increasing some internal strike count so mods know to enact harsher punishment in repeat cases, or
2. Let mods conditionally suspend accounts, allowing people to unsuspend themselves by agreeing to delete offending posts through their own action?
@Gargron as a user it feels kinda... patronizing, imo? when being asked to delete something. i'd rather mods actually be responsible for taking the action instead of the software pressuring the user to take action. it's one of the things twitter does that feels icky
@trwnh Starting to lean towards 1 myself now that I've posted the poll.
@Gargron @trwnh There's no reason no.2 needs to be a carbon copy of Facebook's system. I do appreciate the idea of presenting it more as an intervention, with a support system ready to help sort it out, rather than the only option being to wipe out the post and ban the user. It could become another opportunity to engage the fact that, ideally, we are the ones moderating ourselves in the Fediverse.
