Fedi Meta
As a victim of cult brainwashing, the practice of instance admins going on rants about how good they are is an extremely visible red flag to us.
They are using the voices of those who don't know any better to craft a pathology, to create a mass narrative that makes their victims question if what they experienced was real.

You can put two and two together and figure out that it's shitty people stealing the voices of black folk for their own benefit.

@FreyaManibrandr we're just automatically wary of anyone who claims loudly and visibly to be a good person, rather than just.... doing the things that make a person good

@Felthry same, they're erasing the voices of their victims that way, and they know it.
Re:Fedi Meta
So basically, it's gaslighting. It's circling the wagons, and it's gaslighting. I've seen this happen a lot in my time with AltFurry, and I am seeing it here in response to being called out for anti black attitudes, for driving away a black owned and run instance, and in response to being held to task for enabling/participating in the chasing down of ex-snouts users to harass them.
These are the same folks involved in an instance project that extolled the virtues of inclusion.
