@freemo@qoto.org Neat! Picking up a bit huh? Probably from Elon's latest shenanigans.

I get exactly 0 per week myself!

@trinsec

Nah, the internet just heard we suspended Truthsandwich and everyone is happy :)

@freemo@qoto.org Oh you finally got rid of him? Wow. I guess miracles do happen! 😆
I already suspended all his accounts from my server as I have zero desire to see his ramblings.

@trinsec Yea it was just a matter of time. Figured eventually he would cross the line and be a douche bag once asked about it.. and sure enough he started spam reporting and when politely asked to stop he was quite rude and got an instant ban :)

@freemo@qoto.org To me, the drive-by-blocking-and-announcing was already ban-worthy. :P That person's oozing with negativity.

@trinsec Yup, while I was ok to "wait and see" I wouldnt have opposed if any moderator wanted to give him a warning for being hostile. If it continued after a warning then suspend would have been fine as far as I'm concerned. Though I do think I remarked once that we should at least add something to the rules for future clarity.

@freemo@qoto.org Technically it was already harassment. Being hostile in general is harassment imo. Why even bother to be on social media if you can't act social?

@trinsec @freemo Some would nickname "social media" "anti social media", lol.

I haven't seen much of him, other than going around seemingly picking fights with very random people.

@olives@qoto.org @freemo@qoto.org The amount of reports from/about him was ridiculous. I eventually decided it was a Freemo-problem and ignored those. :P

@trinsec

Agreed, he had a full stream of reports against him. If you had a strong opinion about getting him booted in retrospec I wish you had made an official proposal to have him banned, would have saved us all a headache :)

@olives

@freemo@qoto.org @olives@qoto.org Turning tables here: Maybe you shouldn't always be so annoyingly neutral and actually be a bit firmer to keep the positive spirit of the server up. 😋

@trinsec

That was what I had you for :)

I mean it usually works well enough, the bad ones eventually cross the line, many turn a bit nicer as they integrate.

I'd rather be a little slower to act and give someone a chance than to act too quick. But then again thats also why I try to keep a variety of people as equals on a mod team, to keep me in check when i am "too neutral"
