Bard spotting on Bluesky 09 October 2024

Several months after I came out as trans to a private group on Reddit (2016), the operators had let in a bunch of /r/the_donald commenters & posters, b/c the only requirement was 100,000 karma.

They upmarseyd some hateful transphobic comments responding to someone with a newly out trans daughter.

A leader of a 15,000 member fascist telegram channel told me - that when i.e. a trans woman starts shouting about "tucutes" "using up resources" or gay men lead a pileon because someone got it twisted, or some member of a vulnerable demographic punches down - it is blood in the water for them

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I asked the operators, "Are you really going to let them be hateful Nazis in this subreddit?"

and more than just saying "It's not our problem lol"

one of them decided to target me for abuse.

And that is why I wrecked 42,000+ bigot Redditors' shit by campaigning for a rule against hate.

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It is why I wrecked a few hundred subreddit "moderators" shit by campaigning for a Moderator Code of Conduct to hold mods accountable for letting their subreddits be toxic cesspits.

Because forums shouldn't be virtual attractive nuisances

if you have power in reach to stop these buttholes and you don't fight with every ounce of strength to pull the lever that slams the trapdoor on their fingers

They smell it, and then they know they own you
