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.
He’s not kidding when he says the context to understand the whole thing is in what he redirects to.
For example, the second and third sentence is a direct response to the replies which talk about the conditions for which the actions he is asking about would be considered “good”. Take the top response for example: “I think you might be the drama at that point.”
In the fifth sentence, he alludes to the understanding that the person who made a “first move” (which would be relevant in the discussions just mentioned) is the individual in question, before citing the first few moments of the context (before continuing to elaborate the first part of the fifth sentence). The “promotion” mentioned is an admin promotion. “The incentive to weigh in is thus pre-existing” refers to this, and then he mentions why it applies to him.
I have English issues and even I could comprehend all of this.
I just watched the Youtube video, I’m even more confused. Is that channel accusing you of being a pedophile? What the heck?
Yes, that’s what going on. I’ve always been someone people are inclined to make into a target.
That seems messed up on so many levels. Have you tried reaching out to Youtube to remove those videos?
Having seen that kind of thing attempted, there is every sign at this point the people in charge there won’t allow any changes/intervention.
