The hounding of Wil Wheaton off here bothers me greatly. Suggests the admins of Mastodon instances can’t be trusted to do the right thing vs the easy thing (which I don’t blame them for entirely) and highlights a fundamental problem of social media. That the ill informed baying crowd gets what they want is simply not good enough.

@realmattseymour Agreed, my only hope is that can and will be better than that.

@freemo it strikes me that one part of the problem is having a reporting system that can effectively be used to spam an admin into submission.

@realmattseymour Yea i addressed this in an earlier post, I agree. A few simple changes could fix that too.
