rant on wilw, transphobia
if you think it’s cool that Eugen is saying it’s bad that wilw got ran off here bc “he didn’t do anything wrong on mastodon”, ask yourself if he’d say the same if a known white supremacist joined + didn’t explicitly say anything racist on here. as a cis dude he’s totally unwilling to acknowledge transphobia as a deadly system of oppression, but rather reduces it to petty interpersonal twitter drama.
hi there please feel free to check out my newsletter piece this week if you are sick of gwb and mccain being rehabilitated thanks https://lukeoneil.substack.com/p/god-will-punish-them
instance drama, screenshots
this Bofa stuff has all the classic indicators of a Twitter Whisper Campaign
"oh so and so is BAD"
"why?"
"they just are, I HEARD it"
"What did they do?"
"I'm not sure exactly, but it was BAD"
"who did you hear it from?"
"oh, just someone"
Brazil's National Museum went up in flames tonight, massive flames at that. It's a total loss, millions of priceless historical artifacts turned to ash in seconds, including a 10,000 year old naturally preserved mummy, the oldest such mummy in the Americas. I am feeling beyond devastated and helpless at this moment. To lose history is to lose our own humanity is to lose everything.
Governance: instance suspensions.
Okay, kitty.town and mastodon.starrevolution.org are now suspended.
Laurelai Bailey is an accused serial rapist with documented credible accusers. She is already suspended. mastodon.starrevolution.org is her instance. kitty.town is an instance with a mutual blocking arrangement with hers.
In addition, each have pressed a case against bofa.lol to the point of insinuating a Jewish antifascist is cryptofash.
drama, jokes vs irony
JOKE: “back to my job at Dunkin Donuts where I love spitting in police officers’ coffee”. We can distinguish this from toxic irony bc it punches UP power hierarchies rather than reifying them & bc it’s funny when a Proud Boy spends 2 hours on hold with Dunkin Donuts
IRONY: muting an instance w/ a large trans pop that banned a person multiple ppl have accused of rape, at the behest of that SAME rapist, while maintaining that you are motivated by a concern for safety
btw y'all this instance may not remain safe forever or even much longer, eugen is unfortunately lending his ear to a serial rapist known for making spaces unsafe and who knows what will happen. it may be a good idea to start using an account on an instance aligned with your interests and safety.
in particular, i can invite to bofa.lol (and so can anyone on there), and i run https://witches.live which has a strict no-abusers policy. other great options exist as well!
Hey folks, I made a BOFA account because I really don't appreciate being forcibly locked out from seeing folks there, so please follow me over at
@wtfBear
Also please boost this as my internet is being throttled and I can't download my most recent csv file so others can find that.
I'm sorry I keep humping ship & asking for yall to refollow😓
long but friendly PSA on fediverse safety, boosts wanted
In the report Wilw sent to me, he says he scoured a person's profile for 20 minutes because the user said "go awf," and reported the guy saying cheeky things about Democratic candidates and for replying to a joke to giant Princess Zelda pee fetish porn.
Not in response to him. Just... posts. Just funny posts.
The dude is a nightmare.
