one interesting aspect of being a de-facto infrastructure provider (i maintain a lot of shit that fits that bill) is that some of the time—not very often, but it's noticeable—i will end up providing infrastructure to people i really dislike, or to people who hate me and try to undermine me, etc

i have concluded long ago that the only way to deal with this is to continue providing services in exactly the same capacity as if it was anyone else when this happens so long that the conflict is between them and me. doing anything else goes against the purpose of me maintaining the infra, which is to say, public interest

(i do sometimes take action against people who use my infrastructure in a way that is offensive to the public, but all of those cases so far were simple ones like spam or non-targeted harassment, not something i had to actually think about)
