   Now as you can imagine, as someone who is using Mastodon to create semi-permanent content, I am on edge when a few days ago the following anonymized mod showed up in my mentions to discuss a tweet I made. Unfortunately the tweet is deleted, by me, which I think was taken to be an act of petulant defiance, but the truth is I regretted the entire series of posts it was in already and I just deleted it because it would bring more angry ppl to my mentions even if I edited it.

     Naturally, by this time I am confused, feeling targeted, and quite snippy. The first one, I could understand how in the worst possible like, you might THINK I meant trans women, and I was talking about anarchodudbros and didn't want to hurt anyone, so I deleted it. This? Absurd. The toot the mod references is this one btw: https://oliphant.social/@AnarchoNinaWrites/110889637114373420 and finally, after posting this reply, I went back to my friend, the former sole admin, now co-admin to express my fear and flight instinct

     Then, couple nights ago, I get the following 2nd, different anonymized mod in my mentions, with the following - as we went over above, there is literally no fucking place on earth "Pig Empire" is an antisemitic dogwhistle so keep that in mind as you read these next toots - I have never read Steal this Book, Abby Hoffman is a bit not socialist enough for me to care actually, I see nothing on his wiki about antisemitism, so I have no clue what that's about, I told you why I use Pig Empire above:

     AnthonyJK-Admin repeated this.

     So several thousand followers as my witness, a famous anarchist retweeted a shit ass essay that was low key crypto-incel weirdness and rage; I responded into the void, and I was bitching about anarchist dudebros who think cancel culture is something we should care about, some of them quite big, and I said "with dicks, because it was funnier right? I thought it was a bit odd to kinda imply the trans woman was doing a transphobia, but I didn't want to hurt anyone, so I simply rolled with it then.

     I did however, once again, pull my admin friend, the person who had started the sever aside and say "look I can't go forward like this right? If I'm publishing stuff that might just get deleted, I should go back to my website." I was assured that nobody had it in for me (see above) and that the old admin themselves would prevent anyone from banning my account without talking to them; because again, at this point I think it's weaponized reporting from randos. I dunno that the co-admin hates me.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites Apropos of nothing, I checked "Pig Empire" for I was not aware of its usage as a pejorative or a euphemism.

     https://www.google.com/search?q=pig+empire&sca_esv=561127711&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS958US958&sxsrf=AB5stBiko-OaUNyUIOaDUpWeL3ni8wke-Q%3A1693354910356&ei=novuZPKfFdbAkPIPx-W30Ac&ved=0ahUKEwjy5qPPjoOBAxVWIEQIHcfyDXoQ4dUDCBA&oq=pig+empire&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiCnBpZyBlbXBpcmVIAFAAWABwAHgBkAEAmAEAoAEAqgEAuAEMyAEA4gMEGAAgQQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

     The most pejorative reference, if it can be called that, refers to the U.S. govt.

     Before trying to drag me into watching another Nic Cage flick.

     Looking further into Abbie Hoffman, this is oft-cited quote, apparently.

     Bizarre! But hey, their instance, their rules, I guess.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites so out of curiosity, I searched for “Pig Empire” and got 3 references, one a show “Pigman” which aired on the Discovery Channel a while back, the Pig Empire in Angry Birds Star Wars and a slang used since the 60’s to denote corruption in the U.S. business and corporate sectors and sometimes the government. None of these are antisemitic. What was he thinking?
