Yes! This is exactly the thing. So if that user was like, more online, they might have followed those mods around asking them to answer this post. Then, they would have banned them for harassment, since they were following the mods around, and that would "solve" them never answering the big post.

Oh I'm on and watching. Just watching for now.

(I work from home and have a LOT of monitors in my office, so a single browser is easy peasy)

Edited to add: I'll be following up in the very same thread BTW. Just giving them a full day.

God I hope I'm there when it happens so I can post an image macro of Gandalf the White.

Its just ticking past 24hrs now, so I'll be commenting shortly (just have some work to do first)

That would be hilarious ha ha

They asked, I obliged.

I'm just glad I started with the quoted part, or it would have been an even longer comment without a reply!

Though I never expected an actual response anyway.

The whole thing was a mess, it's crazy 😄

Here's the thing - I'm on Lemmy a lot throughout the day, but I mostly just browse and upvote.

I like blahaj, was going to sign up there actually, but I think db0 is more aligned to me, so I'm staying here. That said, 196 was a fun, silly place to go to when I'm feeling overloaded/stressed/whatever, and its really pleasant to know it was a hate-free space. Just a little comfort spot of ridiculousness.

I'm only commenting a lot now because they are willing to let hate in (whether they realize that or not did not and does not matter). I'm glad to see so many others took issue in the same way.
