That's infuriating. In the past a public tweet would normally get some movement, but since Twitter isn't Twitter anymore, I'm not sure that method still works (or works as well).
I think this is worth making some public noise over. Whoever processed your initial report either did a garage job of it or was sympathetic to the user's racism. Either way, it's not acceptable.
I don't use social media outside of Lemmy and will leave Lemmy once I'm back to health and can bike again (I use Lemmy for commuting boredom). My first idea was the person might be working for Steam or knows someone who does and they're sheltering them as I find it too hard to believe Steam is fine with blatant, frequent racism.
I’d email Gabe personally.
I'll just stop by his place on the way home
Definitely an option.
