I've honestly never seen so many people get upset over someone using a hashtag incorrectly ONE TIME!

Like, do you folks understand that we're all human and make mistakes, and those of you who report/limit people for using the wrong hashtag are human just like the person who used the wrong hashtag?

Like come on folks. You're supposed to be grown. Some of you are even admins/co-admins/mods of servers. Truly this isn't setting a get example, is it?

@SolusSpider Well, it didn't happen to me personally. It happened to my co-admin. I truly don't get people being so hateful over someone using the wrong hashtag literally ONE time.

@cliffwade HOw can you use a hashtag incorrectly ?

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@stu There are ways of doing it, which yes, it was done incorrectly. But it was accidental and literally the persons first and only time of doing so.

stu,
@stu@allthingsmusic.space avatar

@cliffwade oh wow , if its one time then what is the big deal. let it go.

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@stu You should say that to the person who actually limited the other person.

Sad if their fellow admin approves of them doing that.

But it lets me know who NOT to associate with any longer.

stu,
@stu@allthingsmusic.space avatar

@cliffwade I have no idea who said it lol

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@stu LOL I won't call that person out publicly out of respect. Just have to read everything by the right people. 🤪

stu,
@stu@allthingsmusic.space avatar

@cliffwade I wasn't expecting you to lol.

anyways how are you ?

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@stu I am doing well. Waiting on our new couch to get here this afternoon.

Like I get if the person uses the hashtag incorrectly on a regular basis or multiple times. But to use it incorrectly ONCE you have to go and limit them?

Why not send them a DM or something similar and simply ask them to use it correctly or maybe educate them on how to use it or that they are using the wrong hashtag?

It's people like this that I want nothing to do with. It's also one person like this that can truly ruin an entire server/instance.

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

It's truly sad that it's like this because the other people that help run these instances are actually good people. But why let your co-admin ruin something so good? Maybe your co-admin is being a bit over dramatic or irrational or overboard or whatever other word(s) you'd like to use.

@cliffwade What was the hashtag?

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@hybridhavoc The FediBlock hashtag. Someone used it instead of using FediBlockMeta by accident. But it was literally ONE post and they caught tons of hell. Other admins/mods/co-admins talking about how they are making too much noise in that particular hashtag, when they themselves are making even more by stating those things.

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@cliffwade Ah, of course. People are especially sensitive to that one being misused just because it happens so often.

Of course, the misuse as a part of complaining about misuse is somewhat ironic.

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@hybridhavoc I get that people get upset because it gets misused. But it happens as we're all humans.

But to say they are making too much noise and then have 3 - 4 others comment saying the same thing is overboard.

Then to have a certain co-admin of what I thought was a greatly operated server limit that person over it happening ONCE is just mind blowing.

@cliffwade @hybridhavoc I'm about to use that hashtag in hilarity.

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@jasonekratz Good luck! I'm sure you'll catch all sorts of hell if/when you do.

@cliffwade LOL my admin queue on my instance is full of reports about me (the admin) posting cat photos. I apparently can't clear spam reports against myself, LOL. (Probably should file a bug about that).

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@ai6yr Haha! That's crazy.

Create another admin account and clear them from that second account?

ai6yr,
@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org avatar

@cliffwade Hmm, that's a thought... make sure I don't hit "suspend" on myself by accident? LOL.

cliffwade,
@cliffwade@allthingstech.social avatar

@ai6yr LOL Please don't let that happen.
