Eugen RochkoFor mastodon.social users:
Dogpiling and harassment are off-limits no matter how justified you think you are. The rules are for everyone.
Strongly considering adding screenshot-dunking to the code of conduct as well. We don't need that culture here.
Mao@Gargron a large number of users responding critically to a poorly thought out staff decision is dogpiling, huh?
@maolfunction No, what's happened with Wil Wheaton is dogpiling.
@Gargron it's more like people are seeing a dangerous precedent being set by the way staff on .cloud and .social handled the whole situation that will benefit abusers, but we'll agree to disagree it appears.
@maolfunction .cloud's decision to suspend wil has indeed benefitted abusers in this case.
raincoat the pig@Gargron @maolfunction clouds decision to not ban him on sight benefited abusers by setting the precedent that cis abusers are allowed near free reign over this site, and that trans people reacting to that apparently is much worse than the act itself
