i should put away the popcorn, but just. LOL.
"i didn't know about this problem" has now become "i had my eye on this user for awhile, i had serious talks with them, but i never took any action because it just feels unfair to kick them due to their mental illness so as you see i am a saint and the best and a very sad victim here"
at some point an admin - especially an admin! - has to say "your right to swing your fists ends at the start of another person's face".
yeah this is blatant subtooting but having never really known about this section of the fediverse in general before now, well,

i should be cw'ing this shit whoops; meta chat
anyway quelle surprise that the official line seems to be "i couldn't kick somebody out just for being unwell! despite the fact that active harm is being done to PoC, i've got to care about a white person's feelings over the safety of PoC", especially given that this seems to be something of a longstanding pattern.
