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.
