Woozle deleted redirect Woozle/malusers by overwriting Deleted to make way for move from "@Woozle/malusers"

@Woozle/malusers

__NOTOC__
=Woozle's Fediverse Hall of Shame=
The primary purpose of this page is to encourage accountability for bad behavior in the Mastodon fediverse. It's pretty minimal, but it's what we currently have time for; larger projects are currently underway.

These users have generally not been blocked on toot.cat because I want to keep an eye on them, but I will do so without warning if it seems appropriate.

If you disagree with any of these listings, or have suggestions for additional listings, please submit them to [https://toot.cat/@woozle woozle@toot.cat].
