So, the petty shit @xrobau has decided to go through all my posts (probably reading private messages, too), and start limiting my account based on me telling people to fuck off when they reply-guy me.
This guy is an utter dirtbag of an admin, and I'd suggest #Fediblocking mastodon.au as soon as possible
Not against the server rules, but apparently he's limiting my account because I broke a non-existent rule.
This is how @xrobau is running mastodon.au.
Apparently @Gargron is cool with these clear violations of the covenant (this would be the second admin that's done this).
Just #Fediblock the instance
This makes me sad. I kinda knew Rob way back, when people with non geek interests from usenet met up in meatspace (which did inevitably end up nerd-fests).
Although I doubt I've seen him in person in probably 20 years, I'd always thought of him as "a good bloke" and "sort of a friend". Someone I;'d probably look up and arrange to grab a beer with if we were to cross paths.
But that last response to you was way over the top, even in a "feeling stressed and unappreciated mastodon instance admin" context.
And I can't seem to see that response any more, and the suspicion that's because he's deleted it makes me even sadder.
@bigiain @sortius Even worse, he's claiming I didn't do something about something he reported - The last report he made against a m.au user was in Feb 2023, saying that this post was violating server rules, but not specifying which rule was being broken.
I honestly have no idea what he thinks is going on, but I'm 100% certain he's confused.
Also, yes, I think of you as a mate, even though I haven't seen you in ages!
@bigiain yeh, he crossed the line when he called me "retarded".
I saw the same ablism from the aus.social owner (he said something similar about complaints of CW bullying from aus.social users), and I drew a line on aus.social.
Rob has not only crossed the line, but danced over it with glee. He might have been a nice guy before, but he's a precious arsehole whose let the instance's moderation and performance degrade to near zero
