A few days ago, I asked if we could talk about things that happen outside the fediverse. I got a lot of different answers ranging from “yes” to “no” to “it depends”. Hunting someone down somewhere and saying “ah ha I found Zezima on X” isn’t the kind of thing I meant. This is.
That moment when an admin outright makes it absolutely clear if you read the room (those who remember past messages will be able to do that) that they’re going around trying to get back at people and further complicate things for them, the instance in question being in spiteful response to a promotion. The incentive to weigh in is thus pre-existing, plus I am fediversally relevant because I have been accused of being them (not that I’m the only one), so I get the contagion.
It’s a bit much.
Thanks. People sadly don’t use critical investigation which would show such documentation as false (or, more accurately, a mix of falsehoods, exaggerations, and issues already long dealt with, with actual faults of mine currently falling under the last one because time passes). Rule enforcers typically know this (with one exception), it’s always onlookers who don’t.
