Fixing filtering is great, yes. But that's only fine and wonderful for those of us who haven't just hopped into a pot of hot water. We didn't just explore the site for the first time to be greeted to someone posting about feminists deserving to be whipped in #feminism, or as per yesterday actually harassing other users in #hubski where it's still 3rd and the oldest post on the front page is almost a month old. That's going to be there for a month unless all y'all start tagging more things #hubski. And that's providing he doesn't have an encore planned.

I don't think the answer lies in hoping that people won't click "more".

I genuinely worry about the people we never get to meet because of that. I worry about it because we have lost wonderful people. And I also worry about the people we gain because of it. I worry about that because we lost great people to those who felt asshattery is allowed here because it literally is as he demonstrates.

People should nope out at the sight of that. We shouldn't expect them to ignore warning signs. After all, the Internet's favorite response to "that's terrible" is "go away you don't belong here". Here it's "just wait it out". He's been here for 3 months. I don't know if I'll last that long.

But yeah, in the mean time it's nice that I will see less of him.

I really am glad for you if this hasn't been your experience of the Internet. I'm not that lucky.
