Too many people won't give a second chance, or won't try to explain to someone why they did something wrong. But if someone's acting nefariously, intentionally harmed someone, etc. - fuck 'em.

It’s often a final act of self sabotage. Once they start it’s a good opportunity to let them burn themselves out and bring things to their natural conclusion.
I suspect on Tildes it may not work out so cleanly as often. I wonder what we’re missing. In person you can cold-shoulder someone. Maybe online communities need bottom-up shunning.

I’m pretty sure most people like drama. But less are careful not to cause it.
However, too many users would be an eternal September problem, which would be a big issue.

Some fish just really want to get caught.Tom + Adam could draw 15 cards if they catch a fish in Ehime. Honestly I think they’ve over-estimated the difficulty.

There are people that won’t use LLMs for any coding because of a sense of solidarity with visual artists. I think this is silly, especially because they have genuinely stayed away from LLMs and thus say incorrect things about their capabilities. Personally I use LLMs for coding but pay for visual art from talented artist friends. They will do a far better job than an image generator will. You don’t need to use image generators because you’re using LLMs and artists should not dictate how you write code.

The forum-native pronouns of OP (original poster) and GP (grand parent, the parent comment to the one you are replying to) can do a lot of work. And there's always just naming people with @<username>.
Poverty mindset. I see it in my non profit when there are legitimate money making opportunities that could make us self sufficient but no one wants to “spend money to make money”.
