Ok just 2 points, primarily my own opinion. First, I suspect a lot of new Signal users are the Reddit/Twitter terror assholes from thedonald.lose and other similar suddenly exposed rock bottoms that have been forced to relocate over the last week or so. Ignore them, ban them, etc. Don’t let ANY of that bit of animated shit pukes that mumble like they’re semi conscious bags of bird shit bother you. 2nd point. It’s ok to say no. Proof in point, I’ve been running jsonip.com for 11 years. Service supports many many millions of requests a month. Completely free. I’m lucky, I don’t frequently get any hate mail or “add this new thing asshole” for the service. But any time I have over the last 11 years, I’ve directly told those people to shove it if they’ve been rude or demanding. They’re using my service for free. I’m paying for this out of pocket. Fuck you if you think you can abuse me. Just to round out, since I’m obviously very suave about language and what not, stop being nice. Stop letting a lot of free loaders ruin your day and kill your mood and passion by treating you badly. There is an equivalent to the no shoes, no shirt, no mask policy and retail store has for online stores and OSS projects. If the user/customer can’t adhere to extremely basic human decency norms, they don’t get to play. You tell them to fuck off and go away, then move on with helping people that actually give a shit and are nice.

> Don’t let ANY of that bit of animated shit pukes that mumble like they’re semi conscious bags of bird shit bother you. LOL. Appropriately eloquent. And I'm not being sarcastic! The number of times I've gone to reply to a post somewhere to tell someone "You don't get candy if you're a bad boy, go back to your room" but ten other, nicer people have already tried to positively engage... You'll be glad to hear I'm not the one being nice. I flag/report, or if a thread is turning sour tell them they're on their own if they try to mistreat me. This is why I don't mod any communities because too many people would get the same treatment the lamers did on IRC: I'd kick them out the door and get on with my day. Seems that's out of vogue these days.

  Hah. I’m with you. Even used to do the same thing on IRC years ago. I’m firmly of the opinion we (general collectively) of the mainstream have bent far enough back and tried too hard to accommodate the ignorant for too long. No time for that shit anymore. Oh and I’m hell when I host an Among Us game. If the randos don’t catch on quick, boot put the hatch!
