  @stuartl @cjust My wife pointed out that I answered that with the perspective of a developer back in those days if you were a assistant manager just a technically literate user yeah you would fit somewhere in the middle. She got an 11 for example. She's an accountant.

  @Sempf @stuartl @cjust I had to wait until the 2020s to be dumb enough to moderate forums.

  @mttaggart @stuartl @cjust Wisdom is supposed to come with age, not be lost with age.

  @Sempf @mttaggart @stuartl @cjust we all hit a certain age, where we have seen and done all the things worth doing, and now is time to wait for the end. May as well moderate a forum while you wait.

  @mttaggart When I graduated, I walked away and deleted it all. It was for Spokane/Eastern WA/NorID area, so to keep control, racists had to be fucked with mercilessly. Why ban when I can add custom PHP to make their experience exceptionally irritating. Tho they do want to then fight you on Division.

  Far from how social media operates today.
