Bannings

Just DRIVING ME A LITTLE NUTS this morning.

We call that a short drive but a pleasant one~

What’s gnawing at me still is Gany telling whoever is left that she doesn’t think Derp did anything wrong. While telling people in PM prior to banning us that she acknowledges he was wrong, but the problem is that she didn’t tell him it was wrong.

She tried to play both sides, failed, and now she’s changing her tune, and that’s embarrassing me on her behalf.

Just wanna say thank you to @Meg for putting together the discord community that came together after the bannings.

And thank you for banning me from it at the end, so that I too could tell people I was banned.

@Rucket I like to think of it as, now they have the toxic hellhole they’ve always wanted and I hope they enjoy it.

(I’m annoyed af at Gany but this doesn’t really apply to her…except that she let it happen. Bless her heart.)

There you go.

But I have needs.

[BloodAngel]

@Jennkryst I tried to give you what you wanted.

Yes! Thank you, @Meg. You did a good thing.

Apparently discord doesn’t show you the message. Meg went to all the effort to make the messages and they didn’t show.

Thank you @Meg for giving me the second ban of my life.

The new argument that this is merely the result of wanting more moderation and people are just mad that they are being moderated (because they’re super hypocrites and are now getting theirs), sure is a take.

@kalakh

The lengths people go to to avoid saying the words “I’m sorry” makes it feel like they’re worried saying the words is going to make them melt (like the wicked witch and the bucket of water). It shouldn’t surprise me.

[BloodAngel]

@IoleRae taking personal accountability is hard sadly. It is not a skill many have skill points in. Something we are struggling with in life. But the level going on now is almost herculean effort and reality bending on a scarlet witch level.

@kalakh To err is human, to forgive is divine.

I said this earlier today, but I’m just tired of the ticky tack crap that I see inundated around various places like mush forums and the like. It won’t change, and I think people are far too caught up in how they’re perceived and being able to apologize or seek to be better isn’t looked upon favorably. Or simply believing that people are incapable of change.

Not really sure what I think about that these days. But I often see pride more often than not get in the way rational thought.

@BloodAngel

It IS hard, which is why it shouldn’t surprise me that folks elect to rewrite their reality instead. Such a fucking shame.

[Testament]

@BloodAngel I think one of the hardest things you do is admit that you were wrong, and take accountability in what your were wrong about.

I don’t believe there is, or should be, shame in that. And when that does happen, I don’t think people should get drug for it.

People wanted moderation to fork threads or move them to different boards, and to ban the rapists or that one guy who sprouts up every couple months and tries to set everything on fire. So technically yes, more moderation was wanted.

But it is an extremely bad faith reading that the logical conclusion is ‘ban everyone who dares to speak out’. Pretty against the spirit of the job that was asked to be done, you might say.

@Testament @kalakh Indeed. But, this too shall pass.

True.

But it often feels like an eternity for it to pass.

[BloodAngel]

@Testament It does indeed. Why I stay in this community rping has helped me through some very bad spots over the years.
