#disabledsocial — Public Fediverse posts

More on the Mike situation from #DisabledSocial admin @Aaidanbird: https://disabled.social/@Aaidanbird/117162130538145243

Disabled Social admins and mods did not share screenshots of proof until now on issues Mike caused and how Mike was lying — Mike had every chance to make a fresh start at another server and learn from his mistakes

In future, Disabled Social may be faster with suspensions with screenshots in situations like these, to limit harm to servers and users 4/4

More documentation, this time from Disabled Social’s internal moderation tools, showing:

1) admins and mods repeatedly noting reaching out to Mike with no reply (or changing behaviors) from Mike

2) Masto Social noting its frustration with #DisabledSocial that Mike reported one of its legit users who is fundraising as a “scammer” — Mike did this multiple times, we have other screenshots

3) admins suspending upon his Strike 3, after Mike posted lies after he got 2 strikes and a warning 3/4

If Mike deletes his post that I replied to with screenshots of #DisabledSocial admin and mod DMs, DS admin and mod internal moderation reports notes communicating our multiple attempts to get him to stop filling incorrect moderation reports and start filing correct ones, and his ignoring us then lashing out at us (which got him 3 strikes and suspension from Disabled Social) — here are those screenshots for posterity. Disabled Social keeps records. 2/4

I hope screenshots I’ve provided of behalf of Disabled Social’s admin and mod team prove Mike is lying, we have nothing to hide — Mike blocked me so I can’t correct the record again

Please report his ableism calling me “sick in the head” saying I’m “harassing him” because I replied to his lies about the #DisabledSocial team — which I only did after Mike tried to start a Server Flame War between DS and Canada Social, after he got Masto Social upset with DS over Mike’s bad moderation reports 1/4

Just a reminder, the instance will be briefly offline in about fifteen minutes. Planned window is 30 minutes, but I expect it to be less than that. #DisabledSocial

BRIEF DOWNTIME on #DisabledSocial : Saturday, 29 August, 8am-8:30am Eastern (12pm-12:30pm UTC/GMT)

You may have noticed (or not! :blobCat_uwu_smile: ) that we've been doing Mastodon updates lately with zero downtime! But we do need downtime to do a quick restart this week. I don't even expect this will take the full allotted 30 minutes, but just in case. :)

You may have noticed (or not! :blobCat_uwu_smile: ) that we've been doing Mastodon updates lately with zero downtime! But we do need downtime to install system patches that require a restart. This hopefully won't take the full two hours, but just planning for longer than expected.
