🎓 Dr. Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@social.cleverlibre.org

@realcaseyrollins Anytime, always happy to help a friend.

@realcaseyrollins good to hear. I'll stand down on bringing up that server for you then.

@realcaseyrollins yea no worries. I have no issue with what you said.. it was just that one word seemed a bit loaded. A minor issue overall.

Your comments are the one bit of sanity and honesty in the otherwise shitshow thread. Reminds me why I have no regrets about the silencing considering there wasnt a single honest remark among it.

@realcaseyrollins

Thats a fair and valid point.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

Normally I wouldnt even care. But Alex has a tendency to twist peoples words and take quotes out of context. So was concerning given the thread it appeared in is all.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

No worries, apology accepted.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

In fact I'd even go so far as to say that calling spinster a radicalized group is completely factual. It just leaves out the important aspect as to what beleifs they hold that crosses the line to be considered radical.

It was a critique that details were missing, nothing more. At least not until the discussion evolved into why they are the only instance to ever be silenced by QOTO.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

Very true, i found the description vague, not incorrect.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

Yea I can see that. Though I would imagine that most of spinster will outright admit and claim up front they are exclusionary to trans women as part of feminism. Perhaps "Anti-trans feminism" would have been a less abrasiveness term if they think TERF is crude.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

Perhaps you are confusing my clear negative views of the server as a whole with me pointing out the inaccuracy.. You would be correct to state that I am irked by the management of spinster, but that didnt come up till later in the convo.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

Not even irked, I think your reading too much into it. It just seemed non-descript and vague.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

When did I "get upset"... I said it was not particularly accurate. Never said or indicated I was upset.

@alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins Not sure, but I know the idea is a bit more general than that. It is claimed that all uppers tend to calm down people with ADHD. Which seems somewhat supported by the idea that it is treated with uppers.

That said from my personal experiences it isnt valid.

@DotardTed

Yea, except we never threatened to sue or take any legal action of any kind. In fact when Alex first remarked mistakingly that we would I immediately made it clear to him that was not the case.

Of course, he always leaves that part out.. honesty clearly isnt one of his strong suites.

@alex @MandyJane

@modrobert Yea, breathing effects your boyancy too. The BCD cant really correct for that though since it changes on every breath.

@alex

Here is the actual screen shot where I explicitly make it clear my comments were not a threat to sue.. funny you always leave that out and just lie to everyone pretneding it was never said.

@realcaseyrollins @MandyJane

@alex

Never once even used the word SUE... I did mention in our conversation that the QOTO policy needed to be updated to address CAN-SPAM which came up when discussing the instance with our lawyer. I told you if youd like our lawyer could contact you to give you the wording so you can also update your own policy if you wished.

Not only did I not threaten to sue, when I realized my message might be misinterpritated that way, before anyone said anything, I sent a second message explicitly stating I was not suggesting I would sue, only helping you out with the free legal resource if you wanted.

Despite this in your usual fashion you have repeatedly lied and quoted me (while leaving out the follow up statement I just mentioned) to misrepresent what I said.

@realcaseyrollins @MandyJane

@realcaseyrollins

No that wasnt even close to the reason. AS I stated it was through **hundreds** of direct messages, new threads, and new accounts over the course of several days. No individual thread or instance was the problem.

I even started by privately muting the instance so the whole server didnt have to mute them. 2 days later i turned off the private silence and instantly saw the private messages and threads popping up again.

@MandyJane @tangleofsnakes

@hans_w its not really too difficult to breath in the water either. The technical difficulties in diving have more to do with other details.

That said at depth air does get a bit harder to breath, but its not the main reason we use other gases.

@tangleofsnakes

The other 4 out of 5 moderators all voted so silence because of abject harassment en masse and ban evasion (people spun up multiple accounts after being personally banned in order to continue the harassment).

Yea the fact that one guy voted to do it because the mod at spinster had the maturity of a toddler is not the best reason, but it kinda diverts attention from the main reason we have you silenced, the reason that created the vote in the first place..
