"I'm going to vaguepost and imply that I've been bullied off the fediverse but you'll have to watch this 80 minute video to understand what I'm talking about" sure is a novel kind of response to being called out for shitty behaviour

@joepie91 I'm going to be WTF-ing about that one for the rest of 2023 if not beyond
re: meta, subtoot
@joepie91 yeah, they walked it back to make allowances for begposts pretty quickly, but it still came after a preceding bunch of similarly bad takes and, as the saying goes, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time

@joepie91 kinda incredible to me that the fundraising thing was what did it, rather than the weird rant using slavery as a prop to talk about how great capitalism is
re: meta, subtoot
Like, to be clear, I could probably believe that that "no fundraising" policy was genuinely out of ignorance rather than malice...
... but immediately drawing attention to how much people should pity you for getting backlash, rather than acknowledging the harm you've done and taking responsibility for it, that's where my assumption of good faith disappears
