gonna repost something Jae told me in a comment and that is: the best way to make things easy on staff and keep their workload down is to block people who are bothering you, and if this is not something that can fix the problem and it isn't an emergency, save it for business hours
this seems like the nice thing to do imo. no discourse over the weekend. they are around for emergencies, but if there's not something nasty actively going down it can probably wait
even if you violently disagree with them on fundamental matters they still deserve a weekend away from work
edit: see jae's post elaborating, and a-strange-cat's timezone conversions, here
this is all correct, co-signed, etc etc etc.
the following opinions are my own and are not necessarily how we all think about shit.
i very strongly recommend the following:
- if you see a post you don’t like, silence it (check the meatball menu)
- if you think it’s breaking the rules, you can report it. sending multiple reports of the same post won’t do anything but make it harder for us to handle reports, and we likely wont respond outside of business hours
- if the same user is pissing you off over and over, silence em or block em
- they don’t even have to piss you off more than once! you can just block people if you don’t like em! it’s free and easy
one of our major design goals with cohost is that you, the user, control your feed; our job is to provide the tools to do that and enforce some basic community standards.
these tools (blocking, silencing, tag muffling, etc) are there to help you. you don’t have to use them, but you have to understand that if you choose not to use them, you will occasionally see things you don’t like.
i am aware there’s room for more tools we could add! if you have thoughts, you should suggest them on the feature request forum (and not in my comments, where they will vanish from my brain the second after i see them)
happy to answer questions, but if you’re being a dick i’m just gonna ignore you. i try to avoid thinking abt work on the weekend at all and this is already more than i’d want to do.
