@BeAware Yes, finally. Everything that you said! Thanks for posting about this.
But, why did it take Oliphant so long to realize, or admit, the harm being done by promoting that woman's lies and manipulation? Is there an explanation for the change, and an apology for the harm done?
All established Admins knew the woman lies about people. That she practices reputation assassination for revenge and compliance. Why was he complicit all this time?
Unfortunately, too, the mindless Admins who used the tier 3 list are not likely to remove any blocks. And people on .art and the instances that used that block list are unaware that they have been cut off from a significant part of the Fediverse.
