WIST Quotations

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.
 
[Τὴν ὑποληπτικὴν δύναμιν σέβε. ἐν ταύτῃ τὸ πᾶν, ἵνα ὑπόληψις τῷ ἡγεμονικῷ σου μηκέτι ἐγγένηται ἀνακόλουθος τῇ φύσει καὶ τῇ τοῦ λογικοῦ ζῴου κατασκευῇ]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 3, ch. 9 (3.9) (AD 161-180) [tr. Collier (1701)]

In #Reason We Trust

For many of us in the #rationalist and #humanist community, the focus on how we define ourselves often falls on the difference between developing and upholding the #rationalmind versus #religious tendencies towards bias or inference. This does not mean #freethinkers are not impacted by our own #biases and inferences– we accept them and are aware of them.

1. If you're going to #report somebody you need to give #examples of what #activity you're reporting. Just #reporting a #profile and telling an #instance #admin that an #account is being "#spammy" doesn't cut it. Not when we can clearly see the user is not.

2. Again, not a very helpful report. You report a user and say they're a #SCAM account but offer up absolutely no #evidence to support your #claim.

3. Every account was new once, including the person that reported this one. As long as #NSFW #content is properly #flagged, there's no issue. Suspecting an account to be a "scam account or worse" is not a valid #reason for reporting an account.

4. Another report without any basis or #justification.

5. Again, another baseless report about somebody with absolutely ZERO evidence to back up their claim.

So here's what's going to happen....

The instances that forwarded these #bogus #reports to me, and wasted my time, each have a strike against them.

Strike three and we tell #Sharkey to #ignore any and all reports coming from the #instance in the future.

No #admin wants #BadActors on their instances, and no admin wants a #BadActor to make someone else feel unwelcome.

But you can't just flag and report an account for any bullshit reason either.

You have to give us proof and evidence.

This is not high school and this is not middle school. If somebody is being disruptive or causing problems, let us know.

But if you just suspect someone might cause problems or they might be disruptive... wait until you have proof and evidence and then let us know!
