My personal stance on #Eightpointapp RE: #techlgbt defed

We are a small server, but I was asked about this, so here we go.

I once stopped going to a coffee shop for 3 years because I was fed a nothing sandwich by internet outrage. Ever since I have been very careful with blanket decisions, especially when they impact others.

Most defeds I've done have been for trolls or Nazis.

We were all done with this situation back when the user was removed from their administrative post at #Eightpoint and left the server.

I want to be utterly clear, Laurelai Bailey is a bad person. She is not welcome on coop.lol now or at any point in the future. The amount of drama involving her across the internet is absolutely ludicrous for someone so unnoteworthy.

Incoming a super brief rundown. She has had allegations of SA placed against her. She has levied claims of libel against those accusers. In both situations, potential victims have made their decision to not pursue legal recourse. Clearly the truth must lie somewhere in the murky middle there, where only the people present actually know for certain what happened.

She has also been known to be an FBI informant. She was a mod for r/antiwork and r/ContraPoints and was removed following information that determined who she was.

I am not aware of any servers that she is currently on. If that changes, discussions will be held and a decision will be made then, not before. Anything short of that is harmful to the community at large.
