Casey, being a friend of mind, we were discussing spinster and I brought it up in the discussion with my friend, sure. I never claimed I have never brought it up.

That said, when Casey gets around to writing the article and I help him collect some links and screen shots I would be happy to tag you into it. Your input is of course most welcome as long as you remain respectful as you have been so far. I certainly have no issue with counter arguments. As for the spinning up of accounts, that was literally the straw that broke the camels back and resulted in me needing to escalate the issue from an personal/account level response to a server-wide response. Ban evasion is pretty much the only thing that will get us to silence a server.

@zpartacoos I have not tried groff. Most compromises i make are with latex enhanced markdown of some sort

My main way to do rich latex mixed with plain text is by using R-markdown:

@realcaseyrollins

"Hmm well there is a difference between the server encouraging the actions of the users, and the server not acting upon the actions of the users."

Thats fair, as far as I know the moderators at the server did not actively encourage the harassment. They did,however, see the harassment and explicit ban evasion and deem that it was not against their server rules and thus "sanctioned" it.

@dubh @alex @MandyJane @mk

@MandyJane

It means that the server, as a whole openly encouraged other users ont he server to engage in the harassment and used the server to actively circumvent personal bans. It was not with "a couple women", it was a large portion of the server over several days engaging in harassment and when blocked at the account level encouraging eachother to spin up new accounts to circumvent it and continue the harassment.

Moreover this behavior was explicitly reviewed and said to be acceptable by the moderators on the server.

So yea, not at all how you describe.

As for me being angry, not really, the incident is over.. What I do dislike is seeing alex over the course of years continually bring it up and lie about what happened, explicitly lie, knowing he was lying. Which also prompts me to defend the situation when the chance arises.

@MandyJane

Translation "All the shit we did wrong isnt interesting, focus on all the ways we have been wronged instead, way more interesting"....

I dunno, some people may be blocking you purely for your views, but clearly considering past behaviors at least some of those blocks arent for your views but as a consequence of legitimate server-wide harassment. Just sweeping that under the rug plays more to your self-interest than interest.

@zpartacoos While I do use latex often it is a horrific language in its full form... Just the math components of it are bearable if you arent trying to do anything fancy.

This week, Chicago moved the historic Vautravers building 40 feet(about 12 meters in normal units) to make room for a rail expansion

@yourhero

Here is what I will do. I will **temporarily** unsilence you. This will make it easier for @khird and the other mods to see your comments without needing to follow you. Once the mods discuss however we may either reenact the silence or continue this discussion.

But keep in mind if your account appears to be exclusively a soap box for anti-STEM conspiracy theories (as it has been to this point) I will personally lean towards suspension unless one of the other moderators disagrees with me (in which case it may come up to a vote).

We are **not** a generalist instance. We dont restrict very much what you can say, but we do curate the people allowed to be here. At a minimum that means you are part of the STEM community, not against it. This is simply not an appropriate place to have an account that is primarily used to spout STEM conspiracy theories, in fact this is the **last** place you should consider that acceptable.

@yourhero

The conversation hasnt even begun yet, so the scrutiny is not all that exceptional. The other mods have just been slow to have time to look it over is all.

The long and short of it is that you seem to have anti-STEM views and conspiracy theorist views and they comprise 100% of your posts. I see no posts remotely related to your degree in your timeline or anything to suggest that your degree in any way plays a role in why you want to be on QOTO.

Considering that you have a very clear hatred for a large swath of science and that appears to be your main topic you wish to post on, then why would you even come to a STEM-oriented instance in the first place. I think it should be clear anti-STEM conspiracy theories arent really a good fit for a STEM server.

If you had came here and talked about STEM topics from a professional or expert stance (or as a student trying to learn) and just happened to have some incorrect opinions about COVID then I wouldnt even be all that concerned to be honest. But your stream was literally just 100% COVID conspiracy theory stuff. Thats largely what triggered the red flags.

@khird

@realcaseyrollins

Of course. As long as you include the actual screen shots and links to convos then I dont see any problem including both sides, in fact I'd encourage it.

Just make sure if they do supply screen shots its **in context** and not an isolated screen shot. We already saw once in this thread how Alex is perfectly ok lying and providing a clearly out of context screen shot that were easily debunked by providing the full context.

@dubh @alex @MandyJane @mk

@realcaseyrollins

When you get around to writing up on the spamming incident let me know. I can refer to you countless screen shots and links to threads that would be relevant.

@dubh @alex @MandyJane @mk

@yourhero Sorry @khird did respond to the thread but was having trouble reading your comments. So he wasnt able to make a decision. I explained to him he would have to follow you first to read it. We are discussing.

But again I want to be clear, your freedom of speech is not what is up for debate. It is only if a degree in film satisfies our requirement for you being a STEM professional. The fact that your posts are almost 100% anti-stem only raised the issue as to if you were in STEM.

@1iceloops123 I have like half a dozen ledgers and a dozen yubikey and then half a dozen OpenPGP cards... I use the yubikeys for my everyday usage and the ledgers are just there to backup my keys, particularly my masters, just in case.

@1iceloops123 ledger also has a nice OpenPGP card on it so youc an store you pgp keys securely too

@issdeinschnitzel

Point here is alex was presented with more than enough evidence to know with certainty his narrative was a lie, all within a few minutes of the original post. But because it served his interest he continues to perpetuate a lie, one he very clearly knows to be a lie. Worse yet he always makes it a point to leave out the context that shows what he is saying isnt true.

@alex @DotardTed @MandyJane

@issdeinschnitzel

Except I also shared a screen shot of our internal discussion among the QOTO mods that took place at the exact same time of the incident. It clearly shows me saying exactly what I said in the above thread, that the point of the lawyer was to help QOTO rewrite our ToS.

So any such explanation has already been shown to be false as well.

Attached is one such screenshot of the QOTO mods discussion as it was unfolding showing this.

@alex @DotardTed @MandyJane

@MandyJane

As you pointed out I dont generally see your replies because you are on a silenced server. So no I didnt see it. I would have to follow you to hear your replies.

As for what radical means in the term "radical feminism"... yes thats a fair interpretation, and upon some research regarding your assertion there you do appear correct, radical is referring to the definition meaning "root" and not extremism. Thanks for adding valuable information to the conversation.

@dubh @realcaseyrollins @alex @mk

@issdeinschnitzel

Agreed it can be, and I could understand the misunderstanding. Which is why, when i realized it could be misinterpreted, I very quickly responded to make it absolutely clear that isnt how I meant it.

So by this point it is perfectly clear that isnt what I meant and to claim otherwise is nothing more than a bald faced lie and using what i said out of context to try to support it.

@alex @DotardTed @MandyJane

@1iceloops123 if you plan to dabble in a lot of obscure coins then I'd go with ledger. They support way more coins.

You can also get a ledger and a trezor and seed them both with the same seed phrase and then both wallets will mirror the other.
