@wdlindsy Wow that's breathtakingly vile. The user is also among the staff, so this is requires a defederate report rather than reporting it to the instance admin.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@tawtovo Thank you for following through. I'm not sure how to file a defederate report. It is, as you say, breathtakingly vile.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@chefraven Thank you so muc.

[tawtovo@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy My mastodon app gives me an option to block a domain, but of course a single user can't defederate unilaterally. You can perhaps send a message to your instance admin.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@tawtovo I found the button to block the domain @the.asbestos.cafe. Thanks for telling me about the option. The posting you read is only one of several that have come to me today from that domain with vile racist language. I'll see if I can figure out how to contact my instance admin and ask if this domain might be defederated. I appreciate your helpful information.

@wdlindsy I believe what we need here is #Fediblock ?

[everydaymoggie@sfba.social]

Look on your instance's about page. Contact info for your admin is there.

@EverydayMoggie Thank you. I will do so.

[gunchleoc@mastodon.scot]

@gooba42 @wdlindsy When you report it, DO NOT forward the report to asbestos.cafe. Their admin is just as vile. If you're lucky, they'll just wear the reports as badges of pride, and if you're unlucky, they might decide to dogpile you just for the lulz.

I recommend asking your admin to block the entire server.

@gunchleoc @gooba42 Thank you. I did just send a report to my instance's server.

[pronoiac@mefi.social]

@wdlindsy @gunchleoc @gooba42 looks like that account's one of the admins, so reporting it to your admin, but not theirs, is the way to go

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@pronoiac @gunchleoc @gooba42 Thanks for the good advice. I did report it to my administrator and hope good will come of the report.
