In terms of who that blocked user is, #auspol tragics can probably guess from the following anecdote:
The individual in question blocked ME on the #exbirdsite for pointing out that the Senate voting reforms passed by the Coalition with Greens support against the opposition of the ALP were the EXACT reforms that the ALP had been advocating for in MULTIPLE successive JSCEM reports...and that the Greens sticking to that position was actually a matter of principle and not a betrayal.
Apparently I have only one blocked user ATM. I'm guessing that the spammers I reported yesterday (and also blocked) have already been deleted.
But, given that I had a block list on the #exbirdsite (before I deleted that account entirely) numbering in the thousands, I think that shows just how chillax the #fedi is by comparison. Something that I'm quite happy to be experiencing TBH
The original posts are long gone with my #exbirdsite account but about 15 years ago I had a wonderful interaction with Mr Kudelka that I CHEERFULLY declared him the winner of.
A rough but lovely sketch by the man himself is in the link, and I dare say most will not have seen it.
Enjoy, and appreciate his wit anew!

@ShaulaEvans I DO like the Fedi for that. I especially like that people here are often chill enough that I can unironically or sarcastically say “they seem nice” and reach for the follow button.
All too often on the (hopefully) dying #exbirdsite, that phrase was almost ALWAYS ironic and accompanied by the block button.
If I was still on the (hopefully dying) #exbirdsite, I would generally expect usage of the phrase “They seem nice” to be a) Heavily #sarcastic and b) accompanied by use of the “block” button.
That it’s the opposite here on the #fedi, truly is something I’m appreciating right now.
So thank you to all the lovely people I’ve met that way. You do you folks, you’re great.
