> As for the AR-15 remark, again this was done in a private DM and in no way directed at the user threatening me.

help :terrycame: i'm :icame: gonna :animecame: coom

Since you asked for it, here we go. I don't know which users you sued, I've never heard of a lawyer that is on-call "24/7", but here's some obvious internet jokes from him and you going "COME SAY THAT TO MY FACE MICROPENIS" and that's not even the entire extent of it but whatever, and I'm not gonna do anything past a halfassed grep, I am making shit at the moment and I have wasted way more time than I want to on your nonsense here.

Here's a link to the public thread and I'll just wait for FSE to crash for all the repeated attempts to load that fucker: https://freespeechextremist.com/notice/9tHuU6SK3aitzMyfBI

PLEASE DON'T SUE ME

HEY URRBODY, BE CAREFUL ON QOTO HE WILL SUE YOUR ASS

Fuck's sake, this is tedious.

Interesting. I did not know it would actively prune the replies like that when explicitly viewing them. I dont like that...

@realcaseyrollins

@freemo @realcaseyrollins

In the sense that if you visit a post from within QOTO, say, spinster.xyz/@TatsuyaIshida/po you only see one reply (even if following the post author). But if you go to the Spinster site, there are more - it's just that any branch of the tree of replies is pruned where the author is a Spinster user you're *not* following.

@khird

cut off in what sense? As far as I know you should be able to still see replies you just wont get notified about replies if the reply is from a user on a silenced server.

There is a solution in the works (I suggested it upstream) to better handle muting in a way that users could override it at a server level. I need to check in to see how thats coming along.

@realcaseyrollins

@freemo @realcaseyrollins My main dissatisfaction with it is that I can (1) follow a user on such a site, (2) click on a post of his, and even after these two active, affirmative-consent things I have done, any reply-threads are cut off once another user I haven't followed comments (i.e. that comment and any children are suppressed). A QOTO user really can't be part of the conversation with even a silence in effect.

Last Sunday, I had a great conversation with @alex about his background, his work on the #fediverse and why it matters. Followed up with the week's news and the music of #LittleRichard. Three hours, every Sunday night at 9pm CST.

you have to keep in mind our only rule is users of a server must respect the "right to disengage". We have that federation rule for reasons that go well beyond anything to do with administrators or mods (that only played a role in this particularly instance).

Its mostly a rule about ban evasion. If someone blocks you or exits a conversation then there is an expectation a user from another server wont try to evade that block.

If this were simply a single user harassing me I likely would have just muted that user until it was over. but this was orchastrated across dozens of users with an attempt to evade the mute I put in place and insert themselves into my notifications after I asked to be left alone.

If this had happened to a user rather than a moderator the consequence would have been the same, defederation if the server admins didnt intervene.

@khird

@freemo @realcaseyrollins

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but would there be an obstacle to personally muting the server while leaving it unblocked on the account listed as site admin? Seems to be the best of both worlds - you get to ignore instances as you please, but you can still see the full context if someone reports me in a thread involving users from those instances.

@freemo @khird That seems a bit more reasonable to me. But yeah, it could be harder if you like to do casually social media stuff and moderation at the same time.
