probaby a bot.

I'm trying to imagine an actual human being, enlightened enough to understand and use free and open source software, but on some level believes this is a rational response to another human being? Another human that is doing more to promote Linux Gaming, in their fucking spare time, than the author of this will ever do?

it's gotta be a bot. That's the only logical conclusion. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

had it. makes no real sense. what's he gonna do that you can't do with the block/mute button?
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

@driftwood please report such cases, a stray mention will not be seen as gargron only receives notifications from people he follows. reports here actually get seen by humans ๐Ÿ’™

@trwnh @driftwood I think I did, hard to tell, the blocking and reporting mechanics need a bit more feedback on Mastodon and I can't re-view the post any way I can see to double check my report
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

not yet i think, there was a function to check your reports filed but it never got past being a placeholder. i think the web app provides confirmation of when a report is filed, but not when a report is actioned.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

what is there to investigate? whether this is against their own rules? you'd tag their own admin for that - or whether this is something all users there are doing? that'd be something you could easily do yourself
in reply to brea

@driftwood I shouldn't have to explain this simple thing, stop or i'll mute you, it's so obvious
@brea
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

it's so obvious you can't explain it because explaining it shows how inane it'd be

you're in an instance with 171k active users in the last month and you're tagging your admin over one person's post, and i'm asking, what do you expect to happen here
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

@Gargron Holy crap, do yourself a favor and don't look at the rest of the posts on that instance or that guys other instance.These instances seem to be entirely for trolling/hate and need to be defed.
domains are shrimpposter. club and shitposter. club

@Gargron What in the blue hell, dude. It's literally over FOSS and proprietary software. What drives such anger over so little...

Sorry you're dealing with that. I've always seen your content as a good thing :/
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

funniest about this, is that you have probably single-handedly done more to promote FOSS, than this person can hope to achieve in multiple lifetimes.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Jesus fucking christ. People are fucked up! I just got something similar on my toot supporting trans people. There are terrible people everywhere, don't let them get you down!
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

This ain't a good luck for the Fediverse.

Like WTF, man!

Dude need to touch grass or something!

I appreciate all your hard work!
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

well that's rather exciting! Keyboard warrior trying to troll and failing.

Keep up the work my dude
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I think that should be reported to the admins. The whole instance looks like edgelords trying to get noticed.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

1. report it to the mods
2. Request defederation for advocating violence & harm
3. Block the entire domain with your personal block domain function
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Bunch of FOSS purists, I recommend blocking them :blobcatglare:

People like this are the reason why I've decided to stop advocating for FOSS purely
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

All for encouraging more use of free software and do take potshots at proprietary software, but what??? Some people need some grass to touch.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Good grief. Going to state the obvious that
A. You do great work.
B. This person is nuts
C. I'm sorry you get shit like this flung at you.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Shrimpposter.club is a shit 'alt-fedi' instance that frequently does the rounds on fediblock, is well known for abuse and harassment, and one of many examples of 'instances the rest of us have blocked that m.social and m.online don't'. They're one of those instances that will always take advantage of not being domain-blocked by an instance as an invitation to start harassing people and m.s/m.o are long, *long* overdue getting their shit together and blocking these cesspools.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

the โ€žno proprietary software shill on Mastodonโ€œ doesnโ€™t actually use mastodon. And is right now crying to the mastodon dev XD
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

that really sucks mate, instaban that idiot and possibly report it to the instances admin? Keep on rockin' ๐Ÿ’ช

@eris literally never heard of that word before now, don't assume everyone knows every single thing about stuff?
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

What I would really like to know is how do these people manage to write so many words? Surely it's not possible to breathe, look at a screen and at the same time operate your fingers to type this garbage with only two two brain cells to rub together...?
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I can't find the words to describe what I think at the moment.

Please, even though that person posts from some fringe instance with seemingly just 2 active users, report them. Maybe the server's admin steps in...

If it's any solace, that person seems to be confused what social network they are on. Their instance is Plethora, not Mastodon.

In any case, please don't let the haters ruin the fediverse for you. Plenty of people here enjoy your posts.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

I donโ€™t get those people. My only solution is to block everyone that is that way.
(And it proves just fine: itโ€™s not the platform, itโ€™s always the people)
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Why are people like this...
I hope you dont take that garbage too personal. Getting such comments all the time must be exhausting.

I wish you all the best.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Looking at their chat log with the instance admin for the past day and after this toot. Looks like fediblock stuff yeah.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Block, ban. I've not come across such vile comments here before, generally folks are great and have conversations rather than rants. Hope this nasty piece of work can be weeded out!
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Please don't listen to that disgruntled person. It is always a net positive for everyone to continue to live. Plus I enjoy your content as someone who enjoys both linux and gaming. But seriously folks, I know full well things can be harrowing in this world. But there's plenty of joy worth living for. Find it and keep living for it. Love the haters if you can, if not, ignore them and don't look back.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

report the guy to your and his admin. At least on my instance such behavior will get the whole server banned if their admins donโ€™t do anything about this weirdo.
