Welp, that was fun.
I attempted to start a group on chirp.social for the circle of Star Trek people I interact with on the RP account. I picked chirp.social over Guppe Groups because I liked that they gave you the ability to block users from the group, or let you approve membership, but I'm not sure if we just caught them on a bad day or if their server is always like that, but everything was taking soooooooooo long to happen. I honestly should have bailed when the join form didn't give me any sort of acknowledgement when it accepted my second attempt to sign up, and I only realized it had worked on the third attempt when it told me there was already a group associated with my email address. >.>
Anyhow, while everyone was trying to get connected to the group and try out posting and all that, one person started spamming the group trying to get it to work, and then a spammer tooted at a thread where she and I and one other user were all mentioned (but the group wasn't), and she flipped on me about the spammer... and I ended up blocking her after I reported the spammer to my instance admin and had the report forwarded to the spammer's instance.
So, that's been my day. I'm honestly surprised that I just kinda blinked at her over reaction and blocked her, given that it's shark week. Two of the others in our circle did check in on me and I appreciated that. Found some good people over there, so worth trying to see if Guppe groups can be made usable... but the lack of moderation tools concern me.
