This is a culture shaper whether anyone realizes it or not. Not for the better.

What do you mean by a step further?

Oh, I guess I was being a bit vague there. I mean that we shouldn't stop at conveniencing ourselves by blocking others, but help the mods make this place friendlier for everyone, by consistently reporting people who drag discussions down. I really value the promise that only repeated offenders will be removed. If the admins / mods stick to that, a balance is kept.

Couldn't agree more!

YES!

Our "convenience culture" puts all the responsibility on the "authorities". Just as the "free" services in the clouds are on someone else's hard drives - in most cases a giant corporation (IMO, everyone should have a server at home, even if they hire someone else to maintain it.) and admins are like the government while the mods are akin to police. We should ALL be our own police and contribute to making our community great. (And if we can collectively pull our shit together we can build vast decentralized alternatives with our own rules and more ways to interact.)

I report it every time someone calls someone else a name. Petty, but thems da rules.
