And on Christmas Eve, we get into a fight with someone with a mobile phone, some weird ideas and time to drum up and attack our instance.

Kind of neat the title being bandied there now, STEM Lords, for our staff here at QOTO.

LOL, thanks DK. 😜

Happy Holidays to you too.

@design_RG I just added STEM Lord to my resume, has a nice ring to it.

@freemo I loved it too!!

Sir Isaac Newton and the Royal Society would sure approve. 👍

@design_RG Not sure how long you have been in the fediverse overall, but you are going to have to get used to this sort of stuff. There is a lot of extremism on both sides, as with any social media. Thankfully you can always silence a whole instance if you need to, though I find all the instances worth silencing already did us the favor anyway :)

@freemo Well, I haven't been in Fediverse for long at all, calendar wise - month and a half. But most of this time I have put in double shift hours, and learned a lot about the network, the way things operate, etc.

I still find it annoying that someone could come out and lay such a poor thread, and get support from their buddies.

No loss for me if I don't see their instance, I wouldn't be attracted to it, but to allow an attack on ours to go unanswered is not my way of doing things.
