Tangentially, it is irritating that the way the issue is being presented is all about how toxic the Hog Pit was, when:
-
The Hog Pit had absolutely nothing to do with what happened, other than serve as a space where the eventual full blow up occurred. From my understanding the kindling was Derp being made an admin and the spark was him being an insensitive dumbass in the politics forum. Making it all about the Hog Pit as though that was the source and the reason is so deeply, willfully ignorant that it gives me a minor internet headache.
-
The existence of the Hog Pit is not the fault of the banned, or the ‘clique’, or whatever the hell various ex-posters are being referred to as. It existed because the admin created it and let it stay, as evidenced by the fact that as soon as the admin wanted to they locked it and then changed it. That some of the loudest voices tut tutting over toxicity and people being mean were enthusiastic contributors and participants is just so blatantly insincere, but VK/Hella being one of them given her last post in the Hog Pit all of a few months ago is fucking wild.
Anyhow, enough serious words from me, never going to stop laughing over these being permabans

You are right, it didn’t come across as I intended. This was my bad. I wasn’t thinking of the other people saying things.
I totally meant VK alone in this. That, my assumption (and we know what that means), is that she is putting some truth in with the lies. Not about you specifically, but in general of what she is saying.
Most (not all) good liars/manipulators put just enough truth to make it believable.
I’m sorry if you thought I was invalidating what you were personally saying. That wasn’t my intention. I fully believe your narrative. Just so you hear that again, I fully believe your narrative. I don’t need receipts or details, they are valid. I’m just sorry if I hurt your feelings or made you think I was saying YOU were the liar in this.

This morning I tried to send people a few messages to see if I was blocked, because I genuinely did not know. I got a message like this last night when I tried to send a message over discord, and that’s why I used DMs here…
I guess this means I am blocked. I thought it only meant what it said. If it means that I am blocked then… a lot of people have blocked me now. I guess that makes things more clear.
To everyone who blocked me, I’m sorry I caused you enough pain to do that. I no longer think that anyone is going to forgive me, or resolve differences and be friends. If it ever happens I will be happy but I’m not holding out for it anymore. Anyway, just saying sorry.
This is your circle, and I’m outside of it. Stepping out now…

You could be blocked, or it could be literally what it said: You need to share a server or be on their friend list to send DMs. Lots of people have that restriction on their accounts to counteract spammers and such.
ETA: Keep in mind, the refugee discord ‘server’ doesn’t exist anymore (at least as far as I can tell) so you don’t have that server in common anymore.

You can turn that restriction off? I thought that was just how Discord works.

@hobos Do you…lack any sense of self-awareness? Honest question. Because you just keep pick at an issue you’ve been told, multiple times to leave be. You’ve even said yourself that you were leaving it. Only to come back some 12 hours later again and pick at it again. Are we seeing a pattern here?
And at the end of every single one of these statements, you’ll make some kind of self-pitying comment of how “I’ll go away now.” As if you’re expecting someone to take that bait.
You were told, multiple times to stop. And you lacked the common decency to do so. I get that you really want to be this true believer for VK and thar your search for “answers” more and more strikes me as disingenuous. If you want to white knight for her, fine. Thats your hill to die on. But plenty of people somehow, someway, all seem to have very similar experiences. I wonder why that is.
You need to stop. Seriously.
-
Please stop. If you actually care, stop, step away, and come back in a few days or even a week or two. You’re making yourself look bad with each new post.

… looking at the settings, doesn’t look like it actually. I assumed one could, as with other platforms. I was wrong!

I didn’t know who Hella was. lmaoooooo
Yeah, she literally changed her username and started pretending to be a new person right after the banning- spree, and nobody has called her out on it.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

Leaving it be? -

She’s not in The Clique, so she’s obviously harmless.

@Jennkryst @Snackness Guess she’s gonna have to do it, again.
@hobos It isn’t anyone’s job to make you feel like you’re intentions have been seen as good, here. All you’ve done is pour salt on many people’s wounds. This has been communicated to you very clearly. That is the only indication many of us have of who you are. No amount of laying that guilt at these people’s feet or whining about forgiveness will change that. Altering your behavior will change that.

I’ll use the own snip that somebody else used yesterday.

The rules of this place mean I cannot say to you the things I want to, right now.
Just to confirm for you. I don’t ever want anything to do with you ever, ever again.
-
Look guys, I’m all for like, calling people out and stuff. But if you’re going to berate him for leaving it be or not on one hand, then we also shouldn’t dogpile on it.
-
@Meg I don’t care.
ETA: I remain unconvinced that this individual didn’t come into a group of people still hurting over being ousted from their community in order to bask in that.

It’s generally in your settings server by server. You can allow folks from some shared servers to DM you, but not others. But it’ll be in your settings on that particular server, not your general personal settings.
I believe the usual default is that if you’re on a server, others on that server can DM you. But you can turn that off. (Like I turn it off for things like emoji servers where I just want to be there for the emoji and I definitely don’t want DMs from people because those are 100% just spammers and scammers.)

That doesn’t mean you’re blocked. It means exactly what it says: you are not Discord friends with that person and you don’t have a shared server in common that the person allows DMs from.
But also: holy shit if you think someone doesn’t want to talk to you, don’t DM them???
ETA: Sorry, I was typing all this as intervening posts came in.
