If anyone has any doubts why I ban people, look no further than this. And this is tame compared to some of the abuse I experienced.

I’ve had people target me for alcoholism and cancer. There are real pieces of shit on Lemmy, and because of that to protect myself and my communities people will be banned at the first sign of trouble. Do I make mistakes? Sure. Although considering responses to bans like these or worse, I don’t make very many.
