   Then don't talk to them and maybe block them, Jeez. Not a hard thing to do. Literally takes seconds no matter the platform.

   I mean if no one has given any answers (I find that hard to believe) I can easily can give you my reasons if you really care.

     Okay, so you get what I mean: it's not shoveling things into the spambox, it's literally silently discarding mail, so you don't even have a way to know unless someone else figures it out and tells you.
     
     > Then don't talk to them, Jeez. Not a hard thing to do. Literally takes seconds no matter the platform.
     
     Let's say this happens several times a day, and they don't tell you in advance, "I'm here to waste time on drama" so there's no way to know who has questions about how the site works and who is trying to provoke you or waste your time. You might start smashing the red button more often and more carelessly so that talking to your friends is not interrupted so often.
     
     > I mean if no one has given any answers (I find that hard to believe) I can easily can give you my reasons if you really care.
     
     So far, it seems to me that the worst thing he could possibly do is block your instance. If being instance-blocked actually caused a problem, then I'd have had one thousand, three hundred and ninety-nine problems.
     
     If you have anything concrete, feel free. I don't think he can do anything that I cannot do (or any other random person on fedi, for that matter), meaning the potential impact of him turning evil is the same as anyone else, and having known him for a long time, I haven't even picked up a hint of malice from the guy, meaning the likelihood of him turning evil is much lower than I'd assume for most people. If anything, I have excessively triggered public blockbots just to make a point (the point being "Don't add an amplification attack vector to your own instance"), so I'm probably a bigger asshole than he is. He's a friend and I don't foresee problems and if there are problems, I don't think the problems would be worse than from any other friend suddenly turning evil.

     @NonPlayableClown @DutchBoomerMan @SarahGation @SaintTuck I don't know who that is, but as of some time last night, I have resumed incentivizing Nice Crew Dot Digital to instance-block my account (which seems preferable to just nuking them; there are people here following people there) and am waiting to hear whether or not they have obliged.

     Everyone has the capability of doing so, with the tools they can access. However its that restraint that is key. Many times he's failed on this front.
     
     >So far, it seems to me that the worst thing he could possibly do is block your instance.
     
     Most annoying for sure but the worst, which actually pissed me off, was when he threaten someone to not talk to me and threaten them that he will block them if they continue to do so.
     That's just pathetic no matter who it is.
     
     >If you have anything concrete, feel free.
     I've got plenty, confirm one more time and I'll send you my mega complication.
     
     This goes from doing 180 to his rules, hypocrisy, doxxing, defamation, and false reporting instances to datacenters.
     
     Though if you don't care, then there's no need to send.
     I'm not here to tell you who you can be friends with online. Most folks on here are grown men. But your friend is no saint.
     
     There is some validity to the criticism.

     Okay, so the worst he could do is only as bad as what anyone else could do. This is kind of my point.

     Yeah, I'm saying that if it happens, it's not really just people being mean on the internet, that's a real thing.
     
     > but likewise don't explain to me that he's in the full right.
     
     Well, you tell me "Oh, all this shit happened" and I say "So I hear, but I have seen the opposite." Until I see something new, that's where I am.
     
     > if you think shooting a guy just because he called you a cuck for the millionth time,
     
     See, that's the thing: I have seen him instance-block people for manufacturing drama, and I've seen him do it in cases where I would not have done it, but I have not seen a real disproportionate response. I see people bundle "knee-jerk instance-block" in with "called the NCMEC on the guy that uploaded CP" and they try to draw a line between the two things.
     
     > So I'll ask this one more time do you want to see the complication or not?
     
     If you have seen (that is, you were present during an event, not hearsay) something I haven't, and the complaint is something bigger instance-blocking and mean words, I'll look at it. The S:N ratio is bad enough that I've been basically done with the topic until there's a primary source; the hack happened and nothing new came out, no proof of anything. I get you've got your opinion, but I've heard what people say and I've seen what I've seen and surely we could come up with something better to talk about.

     Never said to not be friends with the dude. That's your life choice, but likewise don't explain to me that he's in the full right.
     
     Sure getting trolled sucks, getting swatted and hacked is unforgivable, but when you participate in these activities it makes me give no sympathy.
     
     Since we are speaking hypothetically, if you think shooting a guy just because he called you a cuck for the millionth time, than that's fucked dude.

     @NonPlayableClown @DutchBoomerMan @SarahGation I have seen the people that claim he has done terrible things to them. Every case I have seen was, like the ACCollective journo, reasonable: he asks me to help him pull shit out of the log files because someone tried uploading CP, people swatted his mom, tried to get him arrested, and they conveniently leave facts like that out of the complaint. If there was a case where he did this sort of thing without extraordinary provocation, all of those "graf is the worst!!!" people would be complaining about that.
     
     Now, I'm aware that there are people that will *claim* that they've been unjustly persecuted. I've seen it: someone shows up to harass randbot (who is a complete dipshit) by signing up for a throwaway FSE account and using it to create one post that contained three images, all of which contained his five-year-old son. I get questions about that ban and Eris shows up and replies to me with "I can't believe you banned him for posting these images!" and attaches some the images so of course I drop him and I don't know who Eris is so I send Crunk a DM telling him that I blocked that account and asking if that sort of thing is permitted there, so that I know whether to leave the account instance-blocked or not. (Crunk, of course, completely ignores the DM, because everyone's out to get KF and just saying "Yeah, we allow that" or "No, we do not, I'll tell him to stop" creates an unacceptable risk: when KF is in trouble everyone needs to band together because freedom of speech is under assault by bathtub HRT vendors, but really simple requests like "Hey, I need to know if I should handle this kind of thing on my end or if you will be handling it on yours" are ignored. But that's a digression; graf's been much more trustworthy and even when we disagree, he says what he thinks rather than ghosting.) Then, for years afterwards, I watch Eris say "I HAVE BEEN STIFLED AND OPPRESSED FOR LITERALLY NO REASON", I watched him threaten to lynch people, threaten to burn Claire's house down in a post where he included her home address, etc. I've seen the same pattern from a lot of other people, I've seen the same people make claims that graf has dropped them for "literally no reason".
     
     Every time I killed an account from FSE's side, I had a good reason, and as far as Poast goes, every incident I have seen has had a reasonable justification. It's not always the same thing I would do in the same situation, but the response has never been disproportionate or unreasonable in even one of the incidents that I have seen, a lot of which I participated in.
     
     So, you can keep telling me "Oh, he's not trustworthy!" but I'm not going to ignore everything I have seen over the course of years just because some people on the internet make the same series of non-specific accusations. As covered in this post and repeatedly in other posts in this thread, I've seen people make shit up, and then I've seen people go along with the fabrications, either because they were gullible or because they don't care that it's made up. Whatever the source of it is, it cannot be due to anything that happened on fedi, because people were already on this shit when he showed up. I am not stupid enough to ignore my eyes because I have heard rumors and suspicions. If there was anything concrete besides "Oh, I don't feel my instance-block was justified", I would have heard it by now, but the rumors and suspicions persist. I'm sick of hearing them. Solomon Asch demonstrated ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments ) that Goebbels was correct: people will believe a lie reported often enough.

     There's a difference between "could" have done and "has" done.
     
     Anyone can kill a man on this earth.
     But what separates us from the murderers is preforming the deed.
     That's my point dude.
