A significant number of people here are not only emotionally invested in Spoutible, but they are also financially invested through donations. When someone criticizes the platform, some feel it is an attack on something they love.

Targeted harassment and abuse will never be tolerated here, but as I stated yesterday and in several Spaces, passionate exchanges and spirited debates are allowed on this platform. We are not trying to stop people from freely expressing themselves as long as they don't violate our rules.

Unless the replies violate our rules, we will not suspend users for replying to one person because of something they spouted. If someone feels a reply to their spout crosses the line, they can delete the reply. If they feel a quoted spout crosses the line, they can block the person.

Unfortunately, there will be people who create accounts for the sole purpose of trying to get a reaction from the community, so they can then complain about it on other platforms. My best advice is just to ignore these individuals.

In my opinion the swarming pile-on behavior is becoming an issue here. It's pretty much the only bad social media behavior that we are not protected against. When you quote spout someone, you can send lots of negative attention their way. So much so that they leave.

This may be true (I haven't seen it much myself, but am sure it happens sometimes). But I'm also not sure how you prevent that without stifling positive interactions as well.

Not everything can be resolved by rule. Some things simply require people to use their own good judgement.

This spout was removed because the account associated with it was suspended.
