Dear Scammers, Spammers, Bots, and Trolls,Fuck you.

@lispi314 these accounts farm followers off the artistic work of others, specifically sexworkers. By stealing our work and reposting it (especially without attribution), they're literally taking potential paying customers from us, while also making us less safe, and less likely to produce art on that platform.

Part of the social contract of me taking my clothes off for Fedi is that folx don't take advantage of that by redistributing copies elsewhere.

@alice

It's not about you or me, just some ideas on a general issue people encounter on the Fediverse, and suggestions on how to address them.

If you think you're above discussing things earnestly, so perfect that learning anything new is insulting, what can I say?

queer: you (1), me(1)
pansexual you(1), me(1)
enby: you(1), me(1)
autistic: you(1), me(1)
fedi-experienced: you(1), me(1)
POC: you(0), me(1)

TOTAL: you(5), me(6)

I'm the bigger victim here.
Stop oppressing me, white folx!!! 😂

[purrperl@noc.social]

@alice

It's a pretty autistic style of communication to pedantically give context, before getting to the point. If that insults you, you are an oppressor of minorities.

Some cogent ideas were put forth, for discussion. If you're insulted, then yes, I am the reply guy, the bad guy. Block me now. Complain to my fedi instance admin. Have me expelled. Silence the poor brown person. 😂

@alice Good rant.

[cyberwitch@goingdark.social]

@dan @alice same here lol. I've only spent a grand total of 20 minutes on Twitter before the psych damage was too much, so theres probably a lot of terms like this I've missed

[captainvellalives@lgbtqia.space]

@alice thank you so much for everything you do to make this space the kind and awesome place it is 🥰

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@purrperl you really didn't look at anything about me before making assumptions did you?

Also, you keep mentioning that you're brown-skinned like the color of your skin has anything to do with my replies or you speedrunning the Sea Lion meme (which someone shared earlier in the thread).

Here, I'll share it again for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

And on that note, I'm done with conversation.

[purrperl@noc.social]

@alice

I checked your profile and hashtags.

Help! Help! They're "whitesplaining" to me! 😂

New rule: Any time a "white" person says anything, true or not, a POC is allowed to cry "whitesplaining", and avenge centuries of oppression, and shut them down, by summoning a crowd of POC.

No point casting my pearls to callow people who take things personally and get triggered, then try to use terms like "mansplaining". 😂

Okay, I'm done with this conversation too. Sayonara!

@alice I would like to make sure that people know Alice doesn't speak for all of us. Mutual Posts are always welcome in my timeline. I may not always be able to help, but I WILL boost even if other people get grumpy about those posts. Feel free to unfollow me or block me if you don't like that. It's a really tough world and I want to do everything in my power to make sure good people don't have to needlessly suffer. Also, there are tons of amazing and super useful bots on the fediverse. We don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Nobody wants scammers or spammers. Bots and Mutual Aid are not scammers or spammers. This sort of liberal pedantic bullshit just justifies lacking empathy for others and at a time like we are experiencing in the world right now, that is just a shit take. Somebody had to say it. Just because this is a popular post, doesn't make it correct or even valid. It's not cool to lack empathy for people who need help and people need to see that there are actually people on the fediverse who care about people other than themselves. The great thing about the fediverse is there is actually a care culture happening here that is quite different than other parts of the internet. Alice doesn't make the rules for all of us and it would be great if all influencer types could stop acting like they are an authority on what the fediverse wants or needs just because they have a platform they can use to push their will and desires on the rest of us.

@terrasays @alice I kinda agree. I would rather people share links to their websites, RSS feeds, lengthy indie blog posts then read it on here.

If half the people followed it, the other half would finally sleep in peace.
Thank you, from the heart of Gaza and from the tent 🤍

@drewseph@ohai.social @alice@lgbtqia.space Basically the troll constantly peppers the victim with seemingly sincere requests for further discussion, further evidence, further reasoning without any desire to actually engage in a good-faith conversation. They're just trying to pester and annoy the victim to the point of frustration. If at any point the victim seeks to leave the cycle of debate the troll will declare victory, they they are actually the genuine "thinker" and that the victim was the troll or fool or wrong.

@alice I was literally laughing out loud when I saw „re: reply guys“ and a three-reply thread beneath it.
