@Caliban64 Are you aware of the barrage of harassment people are getting?
It's an organized campaign by racist, homophobic, transphobic trolls.
Here's a good thread by @tomcoates . Warning: there's some really graphic content in there.

Can you really imagine saying to someone who'd just been abused at that level, "Hey, you're not allowed to talk about this until you pay $1 to the absentee instance operator who let it happen?"
Come on.
@Caliban64 I've been running my own instance for about a week, and I've had *four* incidents that have made me put down my phone and take a walk. Really loathesome racist, homophobic and transphobic attacks.
And I'm a cis, white, straight, affluent man. Nothing that was said to me was a credible threat to my physical safety. And it still shook me up pretty badly. I can't imagine how it must feel to someone more directly targeted.

I got the news about setting up Rapidblock, which has kept the incidents at bay for the last 24 hours. But it's not easy to use. It's not even scriptable; you have to manually update the blocklist.
