I like what @John said about #NASgate on yesterday's show. The second wave of people who joined NAS fucked up the whole thing and a little moderation is all that was needed. Makes me wonder if we couldn't boot up https://noagenda.social with mods and just some clarity that it's run by Dvorak, removing @adam from any responsibility. @eriner should have the domain. without moderation, NAS2 is just gonna be a shit show too. with moderation, it might get to federate widely.

As the dust settles and the fog clears on #NASgate, @phoneboy and I will be giving you The Lotus Effect at 4pm Central on https://lotuseffect.stream. This week we will talk about more people being touched on the doll in a bad way by Ozempic, a Hawaiian Hero and Rhode Island; the little state with big balls. Our rant this week is How did an animal piss you off? Call 253-237-3321. Trollquest during the show @ https://lotuseffect.chat. All the shenanigens, none of the vocal fry.

BABY IT’S COLD OUTSIDE

Warm up and join @Pheonix and I TONIGHT at 8pm Central (UTC-6) for Rideshare Radio! We’ll keep the tunes and talk going for ya!

Tune in Saturday @ 4pm for The Lotus Effect to find out the real story why we’ve parted ways with No Agenda. #NASGate is just the beginning.

@phoneboy and I have been labeled “assholes” publicly for our position and stand taken on #NASgate….I told @phoneboy we would find out who our friends are and it is becoming crystal clear. Those who claim to have “shrunken amygdalas” seem to think freedom to do what one desires only applies when it aligns with the masses. We aren’t judging anyone who chooses to stay “loyal” to NA but it is apparent we are not being afforded the same courtesy. Hypocrisy anyone?
Yes, @Pheonix and I decided to disassociate from No Agenda. We'll have a detailed explanation why on our next episode, but let's just say #NASGate is only the tip of the iceberg.
@Bunnyslope @CSB
@PNS The reason I didn’t jump over there is I jumped to my own instance instead. Nothing personal, but it gives us more control over our own brand. You know, the reason #NASGate happened to begin with. Because a certain someone thought NAS reflected badly on HIS brand.

YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAY

@Pheonix and I did. We're still doing The Lotus Effect on Saturday @ 4pm Central (UTC-6). We'll have some stuff to say about #NASGate, as well as our usual coverage of health, happiness, higher-consciousness, and high-tech hijinks.

Past shows are on https://lotuseffect.show

it ain't what it was in 2008 when I started listening and have been an active member of the community most of that time.

The handling of #NASGate brought some things that have been bothering us for a while into sharp focus. We would be hypocrites if we continued to align ourselves with something we no longer believe in.

Anyone butthurt about a decision we made for our own reasons that has nothing to do with them needs to get the fuck over it.
