Question- How do I report an account that just blocked me?
Thanks 🙏🏼

@MoonFish

If the account blocked you, you can still see the profile. Assuming you can get the user handle/@, visit their profile and click the kebab menu (3 vertical dots), then click "Report @ [handle]".

Sidenote: what made you use "@CoSoTips"? It doesn't help get attention for your post (it's a PSA acct, not monitored), the did that. Not shaming, just trying to understand why you used it, where you got the idea to do so.

🙏🏼 thanks!
Funny is - they just unblocked me for some reason lol.. so just reported them.
I just can’t tolerate misinformation or disinformation 🤬

@MoonFish
Oh, well… Report who you like, but please note that misinfo isn't necessarily against policy. counter.social/terms.html

Next time try replying & call it out, &/or posting a new public post, use their @ to mention the misinfo (maybe link the post). But simply reporting anyone w/ bad info may backfire: Jester has been clear he will also boot ppl who misuse reporting. Not that you've done that, but multiple reports for innocent posts could.

Just inform yourself, that's all.

@FernLovebond We all have perspectives, but somewhere along the way (I'd have to dig, but I think he's said so in the past week - i.e. with the Palmer reports fiasco) He's also made it clear misinfo is not tolerated.

@Beanc

Ah, thanks for the info, Beansy. I often miss some of J's useful remarks, as I muted him (too much noise to signal). Merci beaucoup.

@MoonFish

Don't listen to me, I'm a dork.

@Beanc @FernLovebond @MoonFish

What happened with Palmer Report? I'm new to this site & am not very plugged in.

@Beanc @FernLovebond @MoonFish

Thank you for responding, Blanc. This really interesting & very good to know. I have him muted on Twitter for spreading misinformation, but a lot of people follow him on there.

@SusanSams

Not sure you're in the right thread here, Susan. From what I can see this is about some conspiracy nut that was here posting misinformation, went by CMN News or sommat. Look at the whole thread by scrolling up once it loads and clicking on the top post.

@FernLovebond @Beanc @MoonFish

Thank you, Fern. I was looking inside of my friend Jeannie's post & saw your messages, which made me curious. I know exactly who Palmer is & just wanted more context.

@FernLovebond
FYI- thnx to Jester’s, w/his support that account was taken down immediately after my reporting. Guess you didn’t check on twitter, so here’s the screenshot. I’m also attaching screenshots to support my findings.
And to reassure you, I am well informed and can spot misinformation and conspiracy theorists when I see it.
I will never misuse / abuse the reporting feature.

Next time, pls clarify and confirm all sources. That’s all. ✌️ Appreciate your concern.

@MoonFish
No, I don't check twitter for CoSo matters. I'll occasionally go there, but when someone here has a problem with a user here I don't go digging into that place.

Didn't realize what kind of trash you were talking about as you never specifically mentioned it. I also couldn't know your experience or perspective: was just trying to assist. You know plenty of ppl out there will throw words around w/o knowing what they're talking about: I just made a quick post to try & help, that's all.

@FernLovebond
1) Lol.. like you, I don’t spend time searching for CoSo matters on Twitter.
I happen to come across Jester’s tweet & that was the 1st screenshot I attached.

Yes, I can see you didn’t realize what kind of trash CMNews was. With all due respect ,You probably should’ve done more digging before offering unsolicited advice-since you didn’t know my experience or perspective.

@MoonFish

If you felt that was unsolicited, I'm not sure if you want to use . It's literally taken as soliciting assistance, which I tried to do.

I apologize for misspeaking. I wasn't aware of your particular boundaries.

@FernLovebond
2) In regards to ur 2nd respond to my post: “misinfo isn’t necessarily against policy.”
I read the CoSo Welcome Letter you sent to new members. Pls see attached.

Just inform yourself, that’s all. Thanks! 🫡

@MoonFish

Last thing I'll add: I can't inform myself about the details in your own mind unless you share them. I made my comments with my own experience in mind, and without having seen what you were talking about because you hadn't yet shared it: lots of ppl say things like "troll" or "misinfo", & then when you look at what they're talking about, they're misusing the term. Lacking knowledge of your explicit situation, I tried to help as evenhandedly as possible & only later had more info.

@FernLovebond
“Inform yourself” meaning to know your CoSo policies and welcome letter as it clearly stated” Zero tolerance for dis/misinformation” while you claimed “misinfo is not necessarily against policy.”

@MoonFish

I meant to let this go, but I feel like I have to point out that I know the policy, but because what someone *calls* misinfo might not be such, I replied as I did, tactfully. The OP is gone, but I tried to assist someone claiming "misinfo," but when I read the post it was just opinion & bad logic, not actual misinfo.

FYI, I never saw the welcome letter you mention (added after I joined?), & that section was only added to the brand new user guide, but it's moot, considering above.
