so I was reading through a long thread just now re: mstdn.ca. realized there were a ton of responses missing.

opened it in my browser to get the context, and OH LOOK! a boatload of accounts I had muted a loooooong time ago absolutely treating Chad like a convicted criminal, advising everybody to jump ship IMMEDIATELY, calling him ugly names.

"innocent until proven guilty" apparently stops being a thing when you've got your conclusion already formed. wow.

everybody is free to come and go on the fediverse as they please, which is part of the beauty of it.

but to treat allegations as fact and also as a criminal conviction, AND using your "fedi clout" to rile people up against the admin is..... I don't know. ugly.

@robyn i for one reached out to chad and offered some interpersonal support, regardless of what his legal situation is. i have zero tolerance for people who rush out to judge others. i doubt any of those folks would like to have their name published in a negative news article.
