    An excuse NOT to ban them? That seemed to be the process. And now you’ve told us to just report and block them.

    If hundreds of reports did nothing for weeks about the most obvious troll I’ve ever seen, I have no faith at all that reporting and blocking trolls will help the fediverse in the least. They will be free to run their election interference campaigns just like on Facebook.

    I know modding isn’t easy but Jesus this case surely was. No fucking way anyone believed he wasn’t a troll if they actually looked at their activity.

    So no reaction at all to the fact that UM is now admitting to being part of a larger troll effort, after dozens of people told you that was likely, for weeks, and you dismissed all of them repeatedly?

    Seems like we were all right and UM should’ve been banned long ago. Everyone who said they weren’t a troll was entirely wrong. That doesn’t seem to be acknowledged here at all.

    You can’t blame the community here for being kind of frustrated with this response. Many people reported trolling behavior for a long time before that ban finally happened. If the things I reported them for myself aren’t trolling then I don’t know would qualify as trolling.

    Several other instances banned UM for trolling long before .world did. Because it wasn’t unclear.
