Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
My advice for you if you are a volunteer Wikipedia editor and even remotely believe that these people will target you:
Document. Everything. Every. Single. Thing.
Always have 2 or more people who can testify where you were, what you were doing, at any given time, and to your character.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
When you are away from the keyboard, always have 2 or more people who can testify that you were absolutely away from the keyboard.
Character assassination and targeted "make them quit" harassment efforts like this absolutely will stoop to impersonating you online. Make that hard to do.

Spend 10 to 20 minutes of your day filling out a diary of your day broken into 6 minute increments.
Keep copies of everything that happens - all the weird emails and DMs and edits and etc.
Keep all these records backed up offline.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Your goal in doing these things is to make any attempt to bait society, your employer, your family, your church, etc into rejecting and leaving you, ridiculous and transparent.
Have an attorney on retainer who can talk to the cops for you, and use them to talk to your PD about anti-SWAT programs
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Use ghostarchive.org or similar to capture copies of public social media posts that accuse you of things.
Learn the ways to contact T&S / abuse takedown for social media platforms you use, and those you don't use. Be patient but firm and persistent.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The first tactic in these efforts is always to try to isolate you from friends, family, job, community. Talk to people you trust about what you expect might happen, talk to your therapist, and if your therapist tries to invoke paranoia, tell your therapist to take this seriously.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
The Heritage Foundation exists to ruin the lives and careers and political personhood of those it considers its enemies, and it considers its enemies ontologically evil at best, ontologically non-human at worst.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If there is something they won't stoop to, they'll cast it into a crowd and wash their hands of it while stochastic terrorists pick it up and run with it (the Libs of Tik Tok tactic).
Take it seriously and be glad you have forewarning of their incoming frickery.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This is why my "business card" lists my "profession" as "Seiðr" and my title as "Ontologische Böse". When my "egg cracked", lifelong nightmares about witches fell away, as I ceased being in tension with my feminine identity. I embraced it. If it darns me then I will fly backwards into Heck.

This is where I am thankful for asynchronous writing, because if I were forced to post with spoken video / audio, it would be a sheer wall of profanities and invectives, here

They buried the lede
Meta's moderation policy now allows people to call transgender people "mentally ill"
Which is tantamount to calling transgender people "entarte"
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Because they have to let bigots be bigots, or else the sun explodes, right

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Colleagues of mine, in Q4 2024, found instances of community notes on X flatly denying events which have been established through extensive news coverage.
It works before disinfo hits mass acceptance / the platform is overrun by bots. After, it's the submarine's political executive officer.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Reddit adopted a sitewide rule against hate speech 4.5 years ago, before the elections, and booted /r/the_donald then, after it became moribund due to running afoul of other, already extant sitewide rules.
I don't think they'll change policy now.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Reddit has a history of only changing policy at fiscal quarter end/beginning, announced a few weeks ahead; we are past the start of Q12025.
Reddit never enforced SWR1 against conservative political subreddits without six months worth of validated reports.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Which is to say, the policy currently allows anyone to run an Infowars style subreddit or LoTT style subreddit, as long as they don't allow the bigotry to be in plain language and don't allow escalations to violent threats
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Bigots have, over the past five years on Reddit, adapted by mutating their language to use obscure dogwhistles, ambiguous emoji, and highly overspecified terms ("woke", "globalists") that never entered T&S enforcement flowcharts / automoderator algos
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
/r/Conservative, whose showrunners defended people commenting in support of vehicular assault and homicide in Summer 2020, is today (and for several years now) one of Reddit's Partner Communities.
So the policy change didn't stop hate groups, just stopped them from killing the host
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Reddit can expect that, at some point, Trump / the GOP or one of their official or unofficial proxies will come calling to enact vengeance for kicking /r/the_donald off the platform.
That might be thru i.e. HB20; it might be thru direct vengeance.
I am sure it will happen.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
It might even be thru having the SEC give Reddit Inc. an overly thorough audit and enforcement cycle.
But, if Reddit & BlueSky & other independent UCHISPs are going to survive the next four years of Trump / GOP, it will be a miracle.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I honestly thought one near miss at "openly executing protestors in the street on direct orders" would be enough to vaccinate society.

I left Facebook in 2016 when it refused to take down an antiSemitic caricature that labeled Jewish people as human feces. The enabling of genocides was enough to keep me off it. There can be no trust nor safety at Facebook.

Anyone else remember 20 years ago when conservatives put forward "The Anglosphere" as some bulwark against global authoritarianism?
Whatever happened to that?

Fox News / Murdoch Enterprises, in a word.

So, uh, with the rise of LLMs stealing all our social media posts and smuggling them into soulless Butlerian disinformation abominations, I guess it turned out to be a massive systemic design failure to remove .sig's, didn't it
