Our instance has banned wizard.casa. Reasons: lack of accountability, interpersonal abuse from its admin and associates, harassment of users, and refusal to take responsibility. They also host software projects built on anonymity without safeguards. This raises moral, ethical, and safety concerns. Accountability matters, and their silence shows otherwise.

PS (@ps) recently shared another technical project: a BitTorrent tracker/aggregator written in Rust.

From a purely technical view, the project looks interesting. But let’s not ignore the bigger picture:

⚠️ Wellbeing risks → when someone avoids accountability in community roles (like being an admin) yet runs infrastructure that distributes content, there is a danger. If they won’t take responsibility for harm in social spaces, why would they handle reports or abuse responsibly in technical ones?

⚠️ Trust risks → a tracker/aggregator operator needs trust. If admins are untrustworthy and dismissive of accountability, can we really trust their systems? Ignoring accountability in one space carries over into others.

🚨 Technical skill does not excuse ethical failure. Building networks without accountability is dangerous. Wizard.casa remains under observation for wellbeing and security concerns. Accountability is not optional.

⚠️ Observation on Wizard.casa & User Safety

Wizard.casa is a Fediverse instance currently under my observation for wellbeing and security concerns regarding internet users.

Recently, one of their members shared this project:
🔗 https://wizard.casa/objects/0198e59d-ecae-aaa8-f657-d266cc701c2e

At first glance, it looks like just another technical experiment. But here’s an independent perspective on why this matters beyond the code:

- **Wellbeing risks** → When someone bullies others and avoids accountability in community roles, there’s a real danger that they’ll also build systems that disregard user dignity and safety. Convenience may be prioritized over protection.

- **Trust risks** → If someone is untrustworthy as an admin, how can they be trusted as a developer of communication tools? The Fediverse and Yggdrasil overlap in spaces where privacy and anonymity are crucial — and where bad actors can cause real harm.

Tech cannot be separated from accountability. The way people treat communities is often the way they will design systems.

On behalf of the Ban Removal Group,

I'm proud to announce that we're on Disboard and that the PABN (Power Abuse and Ban Notification) system introduced on our discord is fully in effect.

If you join the BRG's server, you can immediately create a notification of power abuse and/or ban (Need Server Name, User-Operator Name, and Date (approx), if you've got IDs it's better).

Once the notification is made to the BRG, we'll do the formalities for you and add this as evidence for the big and common complaint.

Every person (display name only) will be listed as contributors to the complaint as you'll help get it made with personal stories.

The complaint will be at the platform against User-Operators and Bots having the ban feature available to them.
