Speaking of that usernamenotrequired asshole, after I mentioned how they were trying to start additional fires, I was contacted by someone who not only confirmed my read on that person, but also mentioned that the way the user talked was similar to a previous user who had been incredibly toxic in sitewide stuff, as well as harassing people and resharing unrelated posts to fuel the flames. So even if the first username had been blocked, it clearly didn't stop usernamenotrequired from coming back again to do more fuckshit. And after MONTHS of that they were still harassing people, and the only way I could tell is because people were bringing their name up again. Nothing about "just blocking and curating" would make this better unless I decided to block the people who were victims of the harassment. We can see why that would be a problem, right? We can see the issue with openly wondering why people "didn't just" do that?
(I never quoted that story before because I did not want the person who was being harassed to continue being targeted, I've tried to keep the details vague for their sake)
