@LWFlouisa I'm using "griefers" here as a catch-all term for anyone (human or bot) that causes trouble for a project for any reason other than spam. I'm thinking of trolls, people who have abusive communication patterns or tend to flood channels with trivia (but are not intentionally trolling), and anyone else whose behaviour a project could kick up to GH mods to deal with if they are hosted there.

Strypey (strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz)'s status on Tuesday, 13-Nov-2018 06:59:17 UTC Strypey @LWFlouisa one of the main arguments Ive heard against using #ActivityPub to federate code forges (as proposed by #ForgeFeb) is that it risks opening them up to spammers and griefers. As we've seen in the #fediverse, not everybody follows the Bill and Ted Principle ("be excellent to each other") on federated platforms ;)
