Someone got so mad at being suspended from mastodon.social they sent an e-mail to my hosting provider *and* the FBI

@Gargron I guess that puts THEM on a List of Domestic Terrorists!

@Gargron lol, narcissism mixed with antisocial. This stuff happens to every social network btw.
Mastodon is pretty tame, so I doubt anyone takes people like that very seriously, or should. Just another vindictive nutjob. :blobpats:

@Gargron sounds like these people who call 911 when McDonald's ice cream machines are down

@Gargron Proving that they are precisely the sort of person who does not belong on Mastodon.

Honestly I'm not sure what the procedure here is.

@Gargron I'd ignore it. It's your service, your rules, and users are here at your will. I've had similar happen on one of my sites that allows user logins.

@Gargron Make a report, and submit it, the way admins and mods do.
Or comply, if you have to, or don't comply, you do have rights.
I'm not an expert but just some thoughts.

@Gargron I thought maybe to your hosting provider. Do they have both sides of the story or does it even matter.

@Gargron I would reconsider my suspending approach even if I was sure that I did the right thing "if I was in your place" because the last thing I want as a CEO of a company the kind of calls or comments from such an entities

@Gargron plot twist: he was actually your FBI agent

@Gargron As long as you didn't do something "illegal" in the suspension, just go ahead. You will still meet such kind of people in the future.

@Gargron what was the reason? And how did you do it?

@Gargron if they broke your TOS then they have nothing to complain about.

@gragron@mastodon.social good suspend then ;)

Ach so... 🇺🇦

@Gargron

Imagine someone would complain to the FBI for being banned on birdsite or FB. I assume they just shrug their shoulders and file it under 'fun stuff for party.ppt'. You're the instance's owner, we accept the rules, and if we don't comply we must accept consequences.

@Gargron The FBI has more important things to worry about than a crybaby that got digital time-out online. I wouldn't care too much about this whole thing.

@Gargron I suppose that's the way when cc's are free. :)
