This guy is literally messaging people after he gets downvoted because he doesn't like the word "Bro".

"Bro" was literally used as an expression of disbelief.

from atomicpoet @piefed.social

You’re receiving this message because I consider the word “bro” to be offensive, and I noticed you downvoted my request that a commenter avoid using it.

I want to politely ask that you not encourage language or behaviour that could bring toxicity into !fediversenews@piefed.social .

This is a friendly warning. If it happens again, I will have to issue a ban.

The biggest exception to this is !movies@piefed.social. Looking through past mod actions, it doesn’t look like they are as strict in that community as with others, so I don’t feel the need to intervene. However, this is a situation that we will keep an eye on going forward.

Just to add to this, I review the mod actions in !movies@piefed.social regularly, if someone sees anything that should be reported, feel free to reach out to me on Matrix (my account is in my bio)

I've never noticed your modding Blaze, after being in your communities for now... Years. Which means you're doing a damn fine job.

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all

Well, thankfully on communities like !casualconversation@piefed.social or !lego@piefed.social there isn't a lot of moderation actions required. But thank you still for your kind words, always nice to see you around!
