Majority vote.. with 4 then three of us need to agree. I'm not sure thats a problem as we dont want it to be too easy to ban someone.. if there is enough doubt that 2 people oppose a ban then it probably needs more discussion.
@raucao I am not laying fault, i dont think fault is a useful concept. I know if a wrong doing happens I want knowledge of that to spread.
@raucao I dont care about advertising for or against the fediverse.. I care about exposing the truth.. if gargrons actions being known hurts the fediverse that is unfortunate. Hopefully he decides to engage in a discussion before it gets that far.
@plenartowicz That user has since been suspended for transphobia.
@plenartowicz yes we have int he past taken in non-english moderators to help us... though we cant cover all languages of course.
Yea we might consider throwing up a pleorma instance and copying our user base.
So it looks like the delisting might mean we arent even showing up on the official mastodon app for apple now.
Shame on you @Gargron you are a disgrace!
@preibischs this is the first im hearing of it, no... do you know where they get their directory from?
It isnt about indefinate or fast growth.. Its more about moderate growth that offsets user decay. They pulled this before when we were new and the server dwindled to a halt after some time. Being on the directory only gets us enough users to grow moderately and offset user decay, it doesnt provide a huge influx.
@skanman same, though i dont usually do blue cheese... just salt is all you need for a good steak.. butter works too.
@bonifartius I agree, it is wrong...
