   I'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.

      @Gargron You need a public governance process with public recourse, not hordes of shadowy figures stabbing each other via the mod system. Mastodon.social needs not to be subject to a moderator's unilateral private decisions.

      @gargron It's a dangerous trend. We have to keep a very close eye on it.
