how do I even describe this?

[solarbird]

I’m trying to figure out how to describe what just happened. I should be going to bed but I’m still kind of reeling from this hilarity.

Okay. So. Background: There’s a fediblock hashtag on Mastodon and the Federation, people post about defederating from – blocking, basically – instances. When new fascist sites get set up, people mention it there so everyone can block them. Stuff like that.

Someone just hit that hashtag bitching about … how do I put this …

… imagine being mad about being booted from 4chan’s /b/ or /pol/ for being too big of an asshole.

Then imagine broadcasting that to instance administrators across the entire Federation.

Basically, that’s what he did.

It may be the biggest self-own I’ve ever seen. Not just for being too big of an asshole, but being too big of an asshole literally for poa.st, the or at very least one of the most blockaded instances in all the Federation. (Again, 4chan’s /b/ or /pol/ if you don’t know what that is.)

It’s breathtaking, honestly. Certainly the biggest self-own I’ve ever seen on federation. It’s … almost beautiful, really.

And it gave me another instance to suspend (block) because holy shit this guy is a piece of work xD

Reminds me of that bit from Lois McMaster Bujold's The Vor Game.

“This man—you apparently don't know—was cashiered from the Barrayaran Imperial Service for brutality."

Oser blinked. "From the Barrayaran Service? That must have taken some doing.”

Yeah, that, but add, "And then he broadcast that fact to all of Barrayar and as much of galactic society as he could reach."

Absolutely amazing.
