   Well the daily antiblack harassment on the fedi continues, which isn't surprising. I'm just going to highlight one particular example. In case you aren't familiar with Dee Fedilore, the account seems to have been created for the sole purpose of engaging in a one-person war against any folks involved or associated with TBS, fediblock, or who are just Black.

   Following after the pattern of Eris & co, fedilore has recently anointed Ra’il to be public enemy #1 and has been posting lies about xem day in and day out for weeks. Here's just one example.

   Ra’il made this excellent post speaking on white supremacist patriarchy: https://blackqueer.life/@so_treu/113132970434654272

   Cue fedilore screenshotting the post and then talking shit about it:
   https://mastodon.social/@fedilore/113144522349422145

   Reading through both posts, I can only come out of it with one of two conclusions. Either fedilore is purposefully misinterpreting what xē is saying or fedilore doesn't know how to read.

   Ra’il: “this post is about white womanhood. White women, cis and trans, uphold white supremacy by…”

   Fedilore: “This post is about trans women. It's about how trans women are racist because they're trans.”

   Ra’il: “gender as defined by whiteness exists to reinforce white supremacy, and most white women do not challenge that dynamic”

   Fedilore: “this is saying that trans women are trans to hurt Black MEN!! Wow, so transmisogynistic. I'm willing to talk about how some trans women can be racist but this is a Nazi conspiracy theory!!”

   Do you see the distortion?? It doesn't even make sense. It's obvious that's not what xē was talking about.

   If you look closely at a lot of fedilore’s posts, a similar pattern emerges. It's a lot of “Well shucks I sure wish these people I created this account to harass weren't so cruel, but they just are! I would love to interpret these 30 screenshots any other way, but I can't because my reading comprehension is trash so instead I'm just making shit up.”

   The whole schtick of the account is that it's a neutral take on the meta that reluctantly condemns folks only when they get too extreme, but if you look closely you can see how deeply dishonest that is. Read up and down the account and notice who's getting condemned every day and who's getting ignored or supported. This is why critical thinking is so important (because we all know mastodon.social won't do anything about it)

     @ovaron_the_wise blah blah blah the same old propaganda over and over. You people never actually engage with the substance of what's being talked about bc if you did it would be obvious that what you're repeating is just dogma. Boring

     @tillshadeisgone I looked through Dee Fedilore's post but can't see any harassment there. Dee Fedilore seems to just express what a lot of trans people experience with your user.

     And yes, TBS was, is and will always be a horrible idea, a dictator's wet dream, and whoever is involved should be avoided for one's own sanity.

     @tillshadeisgone would you call a black person you disliked the N-word? no?
     
     how is misgendering or deadnaming a trans person you dislike any better? explain

     Seems like we keep going in circles with the racist disinfo getting circulated by the likes of fedilore. Every few months, they make up more distortion of the truth and circulate it, and every few months there are some new white folks who decide to tune in for the first time and get upset about the lies they are told.

     Let's take a recent example, although fedilore has used this same trick several times before. Here's a post of theirs: https://mastodon.social/@fedilore/114356007777167981

     So you can see that this post is a screenshot of a Fediblock post by Shrig for Loli dot rodeo. Right next to that screenshot is a screenshot of a heat rating from TBS. The instance has no TBS source instances suspending or limiting them. Fedilore will often then compare that heat rating to the heat rating of jorts dot horse, an instance that they feel was wrongly suspended. Their argument is that "the point is transphobia not safety".

     But the thing is, fedilore made that post barely 3 hours to the minute after Shrig's Fediblock post, meaning there's barely been any time for anyone to take action after seeing the post in the first place. As a matter of fact, just a few more hours after that post, my mods banned the instance. And as of a few minutes ago it has a 20% heat rating, meaning that another source instance took action as well.

     So here we can clearly see the kind of underhanded tricks that fedilore will often use to manipulate the truth and distort the facts. They purposefully tried to make it seem like no TBS source instances cared to moderate pedophilia, which if you look closely at the details and timestamps is clearly an unfair take. But this is the kind of stuff they do all the time.

     Oh, and you may be asking yourself if, in their efforts to chronicle bigotry on the fediverse, they so much as mentioned how eris recently misgendered me once again. As it turns out, just like every other time a Black person has been misgendered on this platform, fedilore said absolutely nothing.

     Stop taking these charlatans seriously. They are liars, racists, and they will never admit to either of those things. Show some discernment.

     @tillshadeisgone I mean, if it wasnt for shrig and fedilore, TBS wouldn't have put loli.rodeo on there and other instances wouldn't have known about it. So that's good then :P

     @mike_wazowski some context: shrig is a mutual of mine as well as some of my mod team, and their Fediblock post drawing attention to the suspension is why we knew about the server to block it.

     Fedilore did absolutely nothing to help my mod team and is banned on this server, they merely tried to distort the reality as I explained in my post.

     The criticism relating to racism is tied in with other analysis I made in the post this is replying to, which you will be able to read in full if you just scroll to the top of the thread

     @tillshadeisgone tbh, I'm unsure what the racism is here. Is it the post about shrigglepuss, a white non-binary person, or is it criticism of TBS? I've known about loli.rodeo for a while now, so I mean, I guess TBS should have already had it blocked a while back right? though I guess not everyone is gonna know.
