The official new "what have I gotten myself into" response image, courtesy Deathbulge:

I just want to remind everyone that it wasn't the justified callouts and dunking that got wilw to leave Mastodon. It was the collateral damage. It was people causing the admins of mastodon.cloud so much stress through abuse of the report system that they had to /ask/ wilw to leave /for their sake/.

If you participated in that wave of reporting: congratulations, you abused another human being in order to get your way, regardless of whether what you wanted was a good thing.

Okay. #mastoadmin commentary time.

I've written a quick guide, So You're A Mastodon Moderator: https://noelle.codes/so_youre_a_mastodon_moderator.pdf

My goal for this is threefold:

* I want to create a useful reference for moderators, so they know what options are available.
* I want to create a useful reference for /users/, so they know what the powers and limitations of being a moderator are.
* I want to help establish a /standard of moderation/, so we're all on a level playing field.
