idk, literally within the past eight days you, yourself, called out another user that, at this point, i can confidently say has a multi-year history of deliberately being needlessly and excessively hostile, dishonest, and pedantic. i think taking mod actions on a user like that would be a good place to start in improving the general atmosphere of the site.

some people just won’t choose this though and at that point the mod/admin team should choose for them.

Even the “jokes” are getting grating.
I’m not 100% convinced that’s a joke, though it is a bit funny when it’s posted from an instance that’s currently 1/4 the active users of Hexbear.
