Curious if anyone has the original Universal Monk comment handy.

    We disagree. Unless we’re moderators, it’s not our job and focusing on other’s demons too much means we’re ignoring our own. Something about the abyss staring back, but that’s the beauty of the fediverse. Just like you don’t get to tell me what to do, I don’t get to tell you. I would only urge you to do some soul -searching and follow your best impulses, while waiting to serve the worst or questionable. There are other options such as utilizing block/report.

      Sure, if that’s what works for you.

      But I don’t want to see Lemmy turn into a trash site like Reddit, where the worst and loudest are free to harass, provoke, and lie without consequences.

      This user has literally dozens of alts he uses to get around bans, so I don’t see unilateral disarmament as a way to keep this particular fascist in check.

        That’s fair. Practicable solutions seem to be somewhere between severity and mercy, in my estimation.

            You’re welcome and thank you, too. What about ip block ban?

            My concern is for avoidable loss of human life. Not that it is avoidable, just that I would appreciate mitigation of foreseeable consequences.

      Kind words. But misplaced. I’m not in crisis. Still good words though and people should listen to you. Just not about me.
