Ryle had a heart attack. 

People being sent death threats... DDoS on UFoI members, one LGBTQ server in good standing was blocked by 33 other instances for supporting us openly.... Yet they insist there is no problem that needs addressing, to the point they violently oppose an agreement between server admins to engage in transparency, ethics, and evidence in interinstance moderation....

These things prove that the need for the UFoI is very real.

Ryle had a heart attack. 

Ryle had a heart attack. 

Ryle is now hospitalized after having a heart attack last night. Ryle asked the Awoo! moderation team to write a post on their behalf and to be transparent. The conversation was brief, and we have pieced together most of the details.

Ourselves believe the heart attack was caused by a combination of things, suspect the recent stress involving strong conversations around Fedifence, Fediblock and UFOI. The triggering message was in reply to one of the UFOI threads telling Ryle to kill themselves and with video footage of men brutally stabbing a woman to death. Ryle is unlikely to be around for a while.

Receipts of the post is available on request through direct message to: @Transparency

This material is heinous and will break rules of other instances, so we are only sending this instance administrators/moderators on request. They are free to share at their own risk the receipts.

DO NOT attempt to contact Ryle to harass, upset. The moderation team also now have full access to Ryle’s account, and ourselves will be actively removing any unpleasant direct messages left.

If the heart attack is discussed, ourselves ask that you PLEASE do not tag Ryle in the conversations. Replying to this message is okay. If you are going to discuss anything regarding Ryle otherwise, PLEASE do not tag Ryle on conversations that would cause stress.

Last time I tried that I blew up half a city block... consider yourself lucky if it was disapointing :)

@LouisIngenthron Irregardless to common sense it seems anti-semite is defined regardless of the definition of semite. This may make conversations about the subject a bit inflammable!

@LouisIngenthron Interestingly despite a semite including all speakers of a semetic language, including jews and arabs, in general practice antisemite refers exclusively to jews... very confusing I know.

TIL the term "Semite" refers to both Jews and Arabs collectively.

Hi, first toot! I'm a scientist and secular humanist. I love reading (fantasy and sci-fi but anything really), clouds, timekeeping, moose, the 80s, and classic rock music. Causes include the planet, human trafficking, and US blue wave 🌊

@freemo @Gaythia @ufoi Hi, welcome to Qoto! Happy to see a fellow chemist! 👩‍🔬I’m fairly new here as well and I came in without much Mastodon background, but Qoto has been really nice so far.

@freemo @ufoi I didn't have a whole lot of background information on Mastodon or Qoto when I made my instance selection. But I'm happy to be supporting Qoto. I left the birdsite searching for something better and I feel that I have found it here on Qoto.

@sandofsky Its also possible that mastodon users are more likely to engage in posts that show mastodon as superior whereas twitter accounts are likely to not care and ignore it... This doesnt neccesarly demonstrate how frequently a post is seen.

That said it does show, and my expiernce agrees, that you get far more engagement on the fedi.

In 1933, Nazis led torchlit mob into the square and looted the library of the adjoining -Universitat. 40,000 people cheered as they burned over 20,000 books by mainly Jewish, communist, liberal and social-critical authors. Many years later, a panel of glass was set into the ground to mark the spot. It’s a window. Leaning over you can look into a room below. The room is white, lined from floor to ceiling with plain shelves—an empty library. The sort of world we’d live in if the fanatics had won.

@SpinozasHeresy conspiracy theory content has been the norm on the history channel for years now.

Apparently now people are sending death threats to UFoI members... all this does is reafirm to me the dire need for sonethi g like the UFoI

@ambihelical

If they really recognized their error I'd expect it wouldnt have been a silence.. but it is improvement at least.

@tonic

@ambihelical @freemo "after our idiot behavior came to light and was publicly discussed , we decided that being held accountable for our actions was too much so we backpedaled and hope you forget” 👍🏻

@ambihelical considering the huge blocklist hackyderm has I wouldnt feel too secure about federating with them in the future from any instance personally.

@ambihelical s like they are just doing it to steal users away, which I really dont mind, if users want to leave they are free to do so... But it does sound like they will just reinstate it in 3 months or less.
