@design_RG @mngrif @arteteco Seems I'm going to reluctantly have to vote to silence neckbeard, pl, and FSE.

Giving safe harbor to individuals who evade bans and complete inaction regarding resolving it is too big a risk to the safety of our users. If they can no longer block users they wish to block they have no protection against harassment. Since this individual threatened to murder someone it is particularly concerning.

As was seen I reached out to the admin of all three instances and after a long talk none were willing to take action to ban or contain the user in any way.

For these reasons I reluctantly need to vote for a silence.

Any votes from the rest of you or discussion left?

@freemo @design_RG @mngrif @arteteco

I'd like to register my support for letting the affected user deal with this himself using the "Hide everything from example.com" feature.

The following is on QOTO's about page.

What won't get you banned:
Anything that can be solved by a personal block

Why not apply the same standard to silencing instances as to banning users?

@khird

I agree, but since the offending user is using ban evasion they are no longer able to... see our section on federation policy.

The offending user has now used at least 7 different accounts on different servers to avoids band included the three mentioned, all of which refused to address the problematic account.
