She was asking me about QOTO moderation practices, yes this was specifically a moderation question directed at me.
@amkhosla :(
@markwyner It is amazingly beautiful down there!
@markwyner As a scuba diver I can say, suprisingly, there has been a lot of coral regrowth in the past few years... Areas of the maldives for example show similar transitions.
UFoI drama, moderation complication
@peterdrake The instance you are refering to isnt in the UFoI though.. they applies, were in tentatively, once reviewed they were found to be bad actors and immediately removed, all within minutes... people are trying to use this as amunition. As such we modified the process where we can no longer be transparent about tentative members and instead wont mention a new member until fully vetted and after launch.
Usually id need context to answer. Your question was direct enough i dont think it was needed to answer.
It usually is.. people are touchy considering the constant barrage of attacks that sounded a lot like what you were expressing.. given the situation people are noticably snippy.

@krrw I guess thats better than her doing nothing....
Thge conversation ended on a positive note.. ill give them a pass for any rough passive aggressive beginings... In their defense I was being pretty defensive too.
I would like to hope they meant "to some people" and not "to everyone else"... I like to give people the benefit of thte doubt. Though you are right that was horrible wording on their part.
I doubt they realize that while I have a lot of people who support me, the type of people I attract are also the non-confrontational types, so they arent the ones you see yelling in a crowd. My "tribe" are quiet people who like to avoid the drama... which ironically people like that are often theones that piss peoplke off the most.
