For mastodon.social users:
Dogpiling and harassment are off-limits no matter how justified you think you are. The rules are for everyone.
Strongly considering adding screenshot-dunking to the code of conduct as well. We don't need that culture here.
@Gargron a large number of users responding critically to a poorly thought out staff decision is dogpiling, huh?
@maolfunction No, what's happened with Wil Wheaton is dogpiling.
@Gargron it's more like people are seeing a dangerous precedent being set by the way staff on .cloud and .social handled the whole situation that will benefit abusers, but we'll agree to disagree it appears.
@maolfunction .cloud's decision to suspend wil has indeed benefitted abusers in this case.
@maolfunction He was not actively harming anyone. He has clarified about the blocklist thing. You have every right to suspend him from your instance, but chasing him off from someone else's server through dogpiling was wrong.
@Gargron @maolfunction fam, "clarified the blocklist thing" is just not true. it's a lazy excuse. he advertised the list long after he knew about the problems. oh, and he STILL has to denounce his best friend, the abuser.
@labpleb @Gargron @maolfunction Oh no! He didn’t placate you with a lie where he pretends to have regret of having befriended a bad person.
