when you have vulnerable people in your care, it should be your TOP PRIORITY to make sure that any action you take on anyone is one you can stand by completely. what kind of message are you sending if you get rid of someone who works hard to be better every single day, who has a rough past, who has a trail of stalkers who revel in destruction?
it's the lazy solution that really signals that you'd throw anyone under the bus if it were convenient; it makes people feel unsafe

I only even say this shit as someone who adamantly did my best to run a safe discord server for my group. we had hundreds of people in it and my top fucking priority was trying to make people feel like they could express themselves and make mistakes without fear of being Forever Awful.
compassion was key. paying attention to a whole situation, not making rash emotional judgments.
you GOTTA work hard to be an admin that vulnerable people NEED
cw instance discourse
it's so disappointing. if you're an admin, you need to actually look into the reality of a situation and not just kinda coast on whatever a mob is feeding you.
doing the latter is THE way to get completely fucking overrun by people who let fearful and hateful emotions clog their minds and cloud their judgment; you CANNOT cultivate a safe atmosphere if you cave in and make easy decisions and ignore the difficult conversations in pursuit of the right thing.

didn't realize snouts.online blocked me but oh boy, that's pretty disappointing, huh? how can you claim to be a safe space from harassment for marginalized folks when you're not even willing to stand up to a site dedicated to destroying the vulnerable?
how can you make that claim when you won't even try to find out what actually happened from the person you have an issue with ?
admins should openly converse about issues, not fearfully retreat at a threat. disappointing
cw stalking/harassment/KF
you have to examine motivations. you have to think about WHY people participate in this stuff.
KF doesn't let people go back on things they say. everyone is encouraged to be as bitter and vitriolic as possible. you can't defend people, you can't correct things, you can't be wrong, you can't be sympathetic, or you're the next target. of COURSE people want to blend in with that so they don't have to face it, NO ONE wants to face it
cw stalking/harassment/KF
you CANNOT believe a website where there is no motivation to tell the truth, no punishment for lying. you cannot. people love to lie, love to twist stories, love to fit in.
you CANNOT believe a website where people's primary motivation is making others feel bad. the easiest way to do that is to outright lie about them. the worse the lie, the worse the feelings. and then they prey on you being silent about it. on you not exposing them for what they're doing.
cw stalking/harassment
(flees my house because creepy harassment levels are going off the fucking charts and stalkers believing dangerous lies is at an all-time high, so I don't feel safe in my own home)
KF: Wow. They must have fled for a reason. Only guilty people flee. We were right, guys. Time to find out where they're living next and dox them there, too. This makes us the good guys. Just trying to spread helpful info. Only guilty people don't want harmful strangers knowing their address IRL.
cw stalking/harassment
(finally makes the decision I've wanted to make for fucking years to get divorced so I can marry eevee, who i've been with for 10 years, who i would've also married a long time ago if the law allowed it)
KF: Well actually, that's very tasteless. Who gets married immediately after leaving someone. Wow. It's definitely got to be fake. This came out of nowhere. I can't think of any other possible explanation except it must be fake.
cw stalking/harassment
(comes forth with a personal tale of finally extracting myself from a long and abusive marriage, one where KF blames me for every single thing my husband did that I didn't know about)
KF: Do you know what's reasonable? What if we make it look like glip is mean for leaving their husband. Actually maybe the divorce is fake. All those bad things we think about their husband don't matter anymore. This is clearly an act to save face. Blame glip. Nevermind him.
cw stalking/harassment
isn't it a little fucking bonkers to act like a random person online owes you their divorce documents. isn't it crazy that RANDOM STRANGERS act like it's reasonable for you to have to prove things going on in your own, personal life, to THEM. this is not fucking acceptable. this is so fucking creepy i cannot even
cw stalking/harassment
I'm so tired of just silently shouldering the burden of hundreds of strangers playing a fun (horrid) game of telephone with my life, and thousands of people pretending like they're doing good in the world by spreading fraudulent claims so they have something to feel morally superior to
it's so fucked up. it's so fucked up. why do people act like this is acceptable or okay
sorry to make a bunch of toots about this stuff but oh my god i need to talk about it somewhere. for way too long i've just not spoken up about the horrible things these people do and say CONSTANTLY and I'm tired of being quiet about it
cw stalking/rape
nevermind. everyone caught me. it was just a lie all along.
i have no interest in getting divorced from someone who slowly strangled the life out of me, who lied to me for years, who cheated on me multiple times, who ignored every boundary i had right at the very start of our marriage, who would fuck me even if i didn't want to, who would neglect me for weeks and ignore me if i tried to talk, who would--
wait. no. that's fucking nuts. I'm getting divorced bc of EXACTLY THIS.
cw stalking
I cannot fucking get over this. just imagine going about your life as usual, except, every single thing you say, there's dozens of people trying to go "Well, ACtually," and call you a liar. over your own life. Constantly
all the time
randos thinking that, for some reason, they need to confirm you are, in fact, getting divorced from a neglectful individual who abused your boundaries over and over
what the fuck, what the fuck is wrong with people, this is so unreal
cw stalking
HOLY SHIT I AM FINDING OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO LOOK UP MY FUCKING MARRIAGE DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY'RE CONVINCED IM GOING THROUGH A FAKE DIVORCE OR SOMETHING OH MY GOD I WOULD LOVE FOR KF FREAKS TO STOP GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE
holy SHIT do they even know how absolutely fucked up they sound???
kiwifarms is a site of stalkers, a site of abusive individuals, a site that really wants to drive people to fucking kill themselves, how the fuck can people not see it like it IS
cw harassment
christ. oh my god. im just. do you have any idea how exhausting it is to see people constantly, consistently fuck up every detail of your life, and then act self-righteous over it because they think they have the higher moral ground b/c they've let themselves fall for shitty tricks of a website that loves to try to get people to kill themselves over fraudulent claims, fuck
cw harassment
love when people act like it's on me to personally prove to them why every piece of evidence a site (that has a body count) is false, when that site's explicit purpose is to spread false information to destroy people.
i only even tried awoo out because one of my friends was so reassuring to me about the moderation here, and that's... oh my god it's like i can breathe again
wait wait wait no. i want to also say before leaving that i'm grateful awoo.space is so anti-harassment, because i seriously felt myself shriveling for years out in open spaces where ignoring harassment is the status quo. seriously i am so grateful and relieved spaces like this exist
i'm gonna go work on story stuff for a bit but I'll hit on the tarot thing later! it's really fun to do readings, it's basically the same as coming up with a story the cards tell you
