So uh, I just got told to kill myself? What.
sensitive media
@gamingonlinux I donโt get those people. My only solution is to block everyone that is that way.
(And it proves just fine: itโs not the platform, itโs always the people)
@gamingonlinux @Gargron Holy crap, do yourself a favor and don't look at the rest of the posts on that instance or that guys other instance.These instances seem to be entirely for trolling/hate and need to be defed.
domains are shrimpposter. club and shitposter. club
@aras #fediblock
@gamingonlinux Why are people like this...
I hope you dont take that garbage too personal. Getting such comments all the time must be exhausting.
I wish you all the best.
๐ธโค๏ธ
No. We welcome you ๐ค.
People like that actually hurt all freedom communities the most.
@gamingonlinux holy.... This needs reported. I'm really sorry this is happening to you. I love your work (Linux gamer myself) and I couldn't care less if you post elsewhere (regardless of me staying TF away from stuff like Instafacebook)
*hugs*
@driftwood investigate the instance, duh
@driftwood I shouldn't have to explain this simple thing, stop or i'll mute you, it's so obvious
you're in an instance with 171k active users in the last month and you're tagging your admin over one person's post, and i'm asking, what do you expect to happen here
@driftwood oh my god learn when to shut up

@gamingonlinux
Block, ban. I've not come across such vile comments here before, generally folks are great and have conversations rather than rants. Hope this nasty piece of work can be weeded out!
@gamingonlinux I think that should be reported to the admins. The whole instance looks like edgelords trying to get noticed.
@gamingonlinux
Bunch of FOSS purists, I recommend fediblocking their instance 
People like this are the reason why I've decided to stop advocating for FOSS purely
@gamingonlinux
Don't worry too much about it. Bigoted and rude people are not exclusive to other platforms, I guess.
@gamingonlinux that really sucks mate, instaban that idiot and possibly report it to the instances admin? Keep on rockin' ๐ช
@gamingonlinux Looking at their chat log with the instance admin for the past day and after this toot. Looks like fediblock stuff yeah.
@gamingonlinux All for encouraging more use of free software and do take potshots at proprietary software, but what??? Some people need some grass to touch.
@gamingonlinux
Sorry you got this. Trolls ๐. Don't let it get to you, block and forget.
@gamingonlinux Please don't listen to that disgruntled person. It is always a net positive for everyone to continue to live. Plus I enjoy your content as someone who enjoys both linux and gaming. But seriously folks, I know full well things can be harrowing in this world. But there's plenty of joy worth living for. Find it and keep living for it. Love the haters if you can, if not, ignore them and don't look back.
@gamingonlinux Shrimpposter.club is a shit 'alt-fedi' instance that frequently does the rounds on fediblock, is well known for abuse and harassment, and one of many examples of 'instances the rest of us have blocked that m.social and m.online don't'. They're one of those instances that will always take advantage of not being domain-blocked by an instance as an invitation to start harassing people and m.s/m.o are long, *long* overdue getting their shit together and blocking these cesspools.
@gamingonlinux UHG. *NOT* cool.
After taking a look at the instance, looks like a good instance to block.
@gamingonlinux @driftwood please report such cases, a stray mention will not be seen as gargron only receives notifications from people he follows. reports here actually get seen by humans ๐
@trwnh @driftwood I think I did, hard to tell, the blocking and reporting mechanics need a bit more feedback on Mastodon and I can't re-view the post any way I can see to double check my report
@gamingonlinux ouuuuu I see some spicy stuff to ban instance wide multiple times 
@calculsoberic
Please domain block this instance here on mstdn. Gonna do a #FediBlock later.
@eris literally never heard of that word before now, don't assume everyone knows every single thing about stuff?
@gamingonlinux Seems like that instance was already on my blocklist
@gamingonlinux well that's rather exciting! Keyboard warrior trying to troll and failing.
Keep up the work my dude
@gamingonlinux other people just wake up in a shitty mood and post. i appreciate your stuff.
@gamingonlinux like others have said, time to put the hammer down.
Quick edit, I may just lurk with the occasional post, but keep up the great work you're doing.
๐
@gamingonlinux Might have added a Content Warning on this one perhaps.
@gamingonlinux Wow. just, wow. I'm lost for words. Instablock here for me.
Edit: THAT person, of course, not you :heart:
probaby a bot.
I'm trying to imagine an actual human being, enlightened enough to understand and use free and open source software, but on some level believes this is a rational response to another human being? Another human that is doing more to promote Linux Gaming, in their fucking spare time, than the author of this will ever do?
it's gotta be a bot. That's the only logical conclusion. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
:EA DATA. SF:
@gamingonlinux
One vote for "please do not kill yourself". You are cool and good.
@gamingonlinux they were so unhinged they couldn't join the actual shitposter.club instance and had to go for the discount one
@gamingonlinux I did the mistake and checked what their instance is up to and it's a pure dumpster fire...
@gamingonlinux funniest about this, is that you have probably single-handedly done more to promote FOSS, than this person can hope to achieve in multiple lifetimes.
@gamingonlinux I can't find the words to describe what I think at the moment.
Please, even though that person posts from some fringe instance with seemingly just 2 active users, report them. Maybe the server's admin steps in...
If it's any solace, that person seems to be confused what social network they are on. Their instance is Plethora, not Mastodon.
In any case, please don't let the haters ruin the fediverse for you. Plenty of people here enjoy your posts.
@gamingonlinux Wow...just wow. There is so much mental illness out there. It's sad. Block and move on.
@gamingonlinux Jesus fucking christ. People are fucked up! I just got something similar on my toot supporting trans people. There are terrible people everywhere, don't let them get you down!
@gamingonlinux They sound like they've got the emotional maturity of a spoiled 12 year old
@gamingonlinux WTF is wrong with the people, feel hugged. Ban them without a blink.
@gamingonlinux What I would really like to know is how do these people manage to write so many words? Surely it's not possible to breathe, look at a screen and at the same time operate your fingers to type this garbage with only two two brain cells to rub together...?
@gamingonlinux the โno proprietary software shill on Mastodonโ doesnโt actually use mastodon. And is right now crying to the mastodon dev XD
@gamingonlinux @Gargron https://misskey.bubbletea.dev/tags/FediBlock
Scanning there it looks like that domain is run by the same person as shitposter.club - so yeah.
block block block
@gamingonlinux This ain't a good look for the Fediverse.
Like WTF, man!
Dude need to touch grass or something!
I appreciate all your hard work!
@gamingonlinux People can seriously be a bunch of idiots these days now. I really don't like it.
@gamingonlinux not yet i think, there was a function to check your reports filed but it never got past being a placeholder. i think the web app provides confirmation of when a report is filed, but not when a report is actioned.
@gamingonlinux @Gargron Yeah, sorry that such things happens. Hopefully domain is blocked already.
@gamingonlinux
1. report it to the mastodon.social local mods (dont bother copying remote)
2. Request defederation for advocating violence & harm
3. Block the entire domain with your personal block domain function
@gamingonlinux So block him or his entire domain and move on. The worst that's going to happen is you're going to cause a federation fracture because one user for everyone on this massive instance because one user was rude to you.
@gamingonlinux report the guy to your and his admin. At least on my instance such behavior will get the whole server banned if their admins donโt do anything about this weirdo.
@gamingonlinux Good grief. Going to state the obvious that
A. You do great work.
B. This person is nuts
C. I'm sorry you get shit like this flung at you.
@gamingonlinux this must be some of that "critical commentary" people claimed the lack of quote tweeting was preventing.
@gamingonlinux @Gargron What in the blue hell, dude. It's literally over FOSS and proprietary software. What drives such anger over so little...
Sorry you're dealing with that. I've always seen your content as a good thing :/
@gamingonlinux report & block dat asshole!
It's the only way they learn!
#Accountability #Consequences
@regeya and you thought replying this was in any way helpful why?
@regeya maybe i misread you and you were talking about them and not me
@gamingonlinux you shouldn't have to worry about misreading my replies anymore. Shout at the void for all I care.
