#mstdnca

It was my response to a now deleted post (the 3rd one this week) that has officially gotten me blocked. I'm surprised it took this long tbh. I've linked the message that added me to this exclusive club.

In that post, Chad said he would be publishing a State of the Instance in text form this week. I want to ensure that information is out there so other Mastonauts can hold him accountable.

It's anyones best guess as to why he keeps deleting his posts. He has mentioned that he is receiving a large amount of hate. While I haven't seen anything myself on here, if you have or are thinking about sending him a hateful message privately, stop yourself. Not even your worst enemy deserves the level of hate the internet sometimes dishes out.

@[email protected] you talking about me? Yes I tagged you, Chad. I prefer direct communication and considering I’m still waiting on a response from you to my last text message from last March, I figured that wasn’t a good means for conversation. The criticism you speak of asked for accountability + communication to the instance and gave a very shallow summary to my experience being a moderator with mstdn.ca and the reason why I left the instance. Your post, should it stay up, is a good first step. However, you’d know by my posts that while these accusations against you have vocalized my stance for accountability in this critical time, my reason for it stems from promises you made over 3 years ago. Asking for accountability ≠ not caring about one’s wellbeing. If we are talking about feelings and being human, I would personally love an explanation for your silence last year. I considered you a really good friend (I don’t have just anyone over for Thanksgiving) and it really fucking hurt.

Silence is deadly.

@erin
I'm now home, have eaten & had a nice cup of tea & ready to respond more on depth, now.

First off, I'm going to give you some credit for actually responding to a few more loyal Chad fanboys/fangirls, honestly & openly. I respect transparency, a lot. I will take time to thank you, for responding with lack of transparency truths in your experience as past volunteer mod for #MstdnCA. You're one of very few who were brave enough to be open about massive & longtime lack of transparency with how Chad opted to run things. Most others are still cowardly about that, to this day.

Secondly. I don't know you. You don't know me. All we really know about each other, is what we personally choose to post in public. How we feel about what others share in public is personal. How I personally felt, reading your original posts & then reading all the replies to your post - absolutely enraged me & made the already awful PTSD triggers sound off even louder. I saw zero condemnations & too many of - we should just wait til courts decide. I saw too many white folks being OK with that pathological lying POS swatting me. They were more concerned about their instance going down. Your feeling of being attacked by me are nowhere even close to the traumas that Chad chose to enact on my family. Recognize the degrees & differences of real life harms & your personal feelings about me saying - "That's your friend!".

I have a LOT more to say. I've told everyone here that I'm doing another big thread on why how I was treated was wrong & how it's directly connected to why many POC women activists won't trust white folks.

Later this week. I'll talk about my feelings about how most folks are socially conditioned to quickly judge loud, angry POC women but not conditioned to understand why a lot of us are done with being mistreated/disbelieved/treated lesser than because we don't stay calm/polite when we experience ongoing abuses & rarely are supported during our worst experiences. Most folks (fellow POC are included) are socially conditioned to refrain from judging the polite in public white person, who abuses their white privilege & stays calm, after being shady & abusive. All of this shitass, social programming is fucking ass backwards. It sets up a perpetual system of putting polite talking, calm, perpetrators, over not polite talking, not calm, victims. #POCVoices #AsianMastodon #FakeAssCivility #POCMastodon #WhitePrivilege #Racism #Prejudice #FuckStatusQuo #DecolonizeYourMind

The silence is telling me everything I need to know.

#mstdnca

Part of my thread that's coming later this week will also discuss how being treated like shit/being disbelieved here (after getting swatted by a pathological liar who owns a huge Canadian instance, with a lot of ignorant supporters who seem unaware or don't care that their guy swatted me) - severely triggered my PTSD on being disbelieved when I tried reporting being SAed as a teen. I was bullied & ostracized for trying to report SA. People believed the rapist & not me. It brought up the same angry, disappointed & people are fucked feelings.
I had almost left Mastodon completely, due to that.

The Epstein Files triggered both of those hella horrible life memories, again. I'd never been swatted before Chad Ohman chose to send that racial violence to my home, shortly after my Dad died. That night was full of unnecessary police traumas too. I'm sick of people pretending to care & I find out they don't, when shit hits the fan.

I don't need fake support. I don't need cowardly folks. That shit ends up hurting me in the long run. I don't need any fucking devil's advocates either. Go hang out with Satan.

I also won't foolishly trust anyone who knows a scumbag has treated me or others in abusive ways but they still choose to support the lying abusers over us or chose to stay mutuals & stayed friendly towards someone who chose to use racial violence with cops on our home. I'm not as hard on folks who joined after 2023. I'm not as forgiving with folks who were around when Chad used racial police violence on me. Those folks who were around when it all went down, chose to defend/justify/support the lying perpetrator. Even though the wankerbutternoodle tried to throw other #MstdnCa members under the bus - he tried to blame other users for his abuses on me.

Supporters of lying scumbag wouldn't be so keen to defend him if what happened to the nonprofit suing the scumbag or what happened to me/my family with weaponizing police - happened to them. It's weak, cowardly & hypocrisy, in action, by almost all white folks.

This helps to illustrate why many POC women don't trust many white folks. Why the heck should we, when we have these kind of white privilege fueled abuses happening to us & the white folks defend the wankerbutternoodle who was responsible for bringing that to our home, by white cops? Knowing how white cops treat POC women activists? Only reason is to punish us/try to scare us into silent submission. I don't silently submit. Especially to injustices. Especially when the perpetrator keeps lying. I get louder!

Don't fucking sic cops on my home & expect I will stay silent. Fuck that white silencing threat. I won't be quiet when privileged white folks abuse their privileges to try & harm me or my family. You all better know this.

Edmonton's Inglewood community league sues past treasurer for $280K | CBC News

Out $280,000, the Inglewood community league says it has reported missing money to the police. Now, it’s suing its former treasurer.

CBC

@johnefrancis @coop Yikes! Searching the #mstdnca tag suggests some serious stuff might be going on. Like jail time for the server admin.

I left that server months ago after the moderators (maybe the admin?) were making up rules that applied only to me.
Apparently they didn't like that I was reporting posts that violated their terms, but were not at all what they were thinking about when they wrote those terms. 😈

I’m not here to weigh in on the recent allegations, I’ll let the courts do that work—but the lack of oversight will forever cast doubt on Chad’s ability to fulfil the promises made to me and my fellow Mastonauts.

Regardless on if it’s skill or motivation that is preventing Mastodon Canada from becoming the community it was promised, I do think it’s time for mstdnca to find someone or someones to chart a new path for its ship.

@chad your service to the Mastodon Community is undeniable and so many of us will be forever grateful for the space you gave us to plant new roots. But the community hasn’t been thriving under your leadership, and Mastodon Canada deserves to thrive. Please consider relinquishing control of the steering wheel.

Respectful discourse only.
