@georgetakei Thank you for this post, its a good one.
Hope anyone reading this has a fruitful day of remembrance.
It’s Transgender Day of Remembrance. So many of our community are taken from us through violence. It’s violence stoked by fear and ignorance. That means it is preventable. And that means we have a duty to try and prevent it. Love, understanding, empathy, kindness. Those are the values that will stop the violence, stop the hate. Embrace them. And remember.
@lilithsaintcrow Wouldnt tax payer money need to fund **all** of their development AND their manufacture in order to justify companies being in the wrong for charging? I dont see why companies that paid some discounted rate to develop it and all the cost to produce it shhould be required to take a loss and sell it, that doesnt add up.
@pixouls I will take AI over I any day.
Just to be clear, he was report spamming accounts that clearly did not break any rules but either because someone blocked him or because they posted an opinion he disagreed with.
He was politely warned three times to stop and refused to even answer those requests and continued. Then when we brought it up for **discussion** among mods and asked him if he wanted to speak to it before we decided if action needed to be taken at all he rudely responded and made no attempt to say anything else. After months of warnings and a final chance to discuss it he was suspended.
And yes, we get **tons** of reports against him for attacking liberals and conservatives alike and had taken a lot of heat as a server protecting his right to have an opinion.

But then he will get his own server blocked. He was already getting his account blocked server wide just having an account here.
No he would rather use a large server as human shields to protect him from getting hurt.. He was shocked to hear they could just block him.
@TruthSandwich@toad.social
His problem is he is a non-tolerant leftist (not alt-left but solid full swing left). That in and of itself isnt an issue if it werent for the non-tolerant part. Anyone who is slightly more left than him or slightly more right than him he has a fit, tells them off and tells them he is blocking them. Often random people he had no interaction with... given how narrow his acceptable views are this tends to be several people a day... Not surprisingly this just pisses a ton of people off getting random hate messages from random people they never even engaged with.
As I said its not strictly against the rules so I never banned him for that... But its unlikely any server that actually fits the sort of environment he might accept would also be willing to accept him. QOTO is one of very few servers he stood any chance on and he kinda ruined that for himself.
@TruthSandwich@toad.social
He was chased out of a few places before landing at QOTO... we were the only place that tolerated him at all it seems.
I fought to keep in here for a long time, I was his only ally. He will have a hard time finding that anywhere with his attitude
@TruthSandwich@toad.social
The official reason is report spamming. They had three warnings. didnt respond to any of them then when they had a chance to state their case when moderators were decided if action should be taken they just responded rudely.
There quite a few unofficial reasons that wouldnt have gotten him banned themselves but is against the spirit of the server. Just him starting trouble with people every single day almost intentionally. So no one is all that eager to dish out a fourth chance to him.

@admitsWrongIfProven Yes he copied the details from my posting, except the license info
Someone is selling my art work without telling me. That's cute.
@khird Its just so powerful you can do just about anything at enterprise level for 20$... its amazing. I myself used to love the QoS feature.
Just upgraded multiple nodes on my home network to the new @OpenWrt version... and nothing broke. I did my homework and tried to avoid known pitfalls, sure - but that never happens. It feels like the laws of nature are suspended today.
