During my one year activity on the #Fediverse I've now seen at least four instance admins quitting from being an admin or shutting down their server. Half of these cases were admins being dickheads and the rest of them were mostly about users being dickheads leading admin getting burned out.

Both outcomes are unfortunate, but the latter makes me sad. Why do we have to harass and doxx an admin here for such pseudetical reasons like extensive open text search feature? I don't get humans sometimes.

I repeat: We are not free from toxicity on the Fediverse. Be kind. Make a chance.

@rolle Nobody deserves harassment or doxxing but the “open text search” guy fell squarely into the first category of admins being dickheads. The conflict that culminated in his departure from the fediverse was kicked off by his persistent harassment of another admin, as well as anyone he discovered talking about him unfavorably (which he tracked down using his non-consensual full text search tool).

Truly appalling behavior from an instance admin tbh.
