psa: we are very aware of ro's identity of being a cis guy thank you very much.
(yes him and him alone getting shit is racist as fuck, this whole thing was made by many entities just as there's other shit going on that gets shielded by whiteness but let's not ignore the big picture, okay? less "don't call out [token-group] that's bigotry" and more "call out shit regardless of who they are" please )

@witchling @nyx theres a whole Discord channel called Fedimins of the folks that are the problem. Includes Seirdy, Oliphant, Ro, WelshPixie, the artisan.chat and strangeobject.space and simcha.lgbt admins etc, and rage.love and weirder.earth and they definitely all deserve hate
Hard to really hold most of them accountable though because they hide their block lists, make it so you can't view their posts, and keep the discussion entirely on that private channel. But objectively id say WelshPixie and Ro have the most public platform to do this damage. The rest wouldn't nearly have as much power without them, that just comes with taking in tons of money and having thousands and thousands of followers

@nyx all the "trusted sources", as far as i know this is a thing that many accounts and instances take part in even if it's only because no one being alone could do all this by themselves in such a short time. but either way, "trusted sources" - especially if they're "proud" of what they're doing (see strangeobject . space admin account) - are complicit for allowing themselves to be used as such alone. and funny thing is, at least a few of them are very definitely white. ro is, in a way, the face of it all, the others are just more invisible.
at least that's how i understand it.

@witchling who else has been involved besides him and welshpixie? it seems like they're the two most public individuals in that whole clique but I know other instances are associated with it

@witchling @nyx I don't doubt that's part of why it's easier for most people to go after Ro and not WelshPixie too

@eris @nyx well yeah they very much do i just cannot help but wonder if one big if not the only reason everyone cares now is racism.
