I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:

Content Warning

Graphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.

While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.

    Wait.

    Why on earth does this complaint not apply to you digging through FlyingSquid’s history to find something he said to someone six months ago, and telling other people he is insane and needs to be IP-banned and all his content removed, because of, for example, that thing he said to that one user six months ago?

      lul. You asked for proof. I supplied it. That’s the difference. I have actual reasons to say what I say. You support him blindly just because ?

        Oh, I think it’s entirely reasonable to look through someone’s history and find stuff that gives context about their behavior, and fair game to bring up examples if people are talking about them, so that people can reference objective things which may or may not justify the conclusions or personal attacks that are being made about that person. I’m just saying that it sounds like you don’t think it should be allowed, apparently, except when you do it.
