Alright so, the guy who has been harassing me online for 3 years has pretty much stopped, it seems (helps I'm no longer using Twitter), although I did see him do something that amused me, he was telling another musician (in a circle I wouldn't ever want anything to do with) never to work with me.
You've got to laugh, really, and then he's all 'peace and love everyone'.
I have never seen a more obviously hypocritical man, and the disconnect in his own brain... It's kind of stunning.

@limneticvillains
while I do expect that connecting to the internet more safely is sort of an "attack me" sign,
I think it's probably fundamental to self-hosting to not hand out your street address as part of hosting your own music, for example. The fear of being targetted for self-hosting combined with fear of not doing so more safely pushes people into buying into file hosting businesses like youtube.

There's a very decent chance he'll see this. I know he still stalks my social media profiles.
I have been generally avoiding looking at anything he's doing, but every few weeks I feel the need to laugh.
Christmas day he must have been very drunk because he spouted some sexism and had a whole back and forth with some guy on Bluesky, got blocked and proceeded to start stalking the guy and calling him a Nazi. Classic. The guy he was calling a Nazi is a leftist writer.

He's also been making some very lofty claims about how his music can save the world, that type of guff. It's very embarrassing.
He put up a thing about fraudulent art, starting writing that passing stock images/music off as your own is wrong, I agree with him there, which is why it made me so happy to see someone call him out for use of stock images in his own album art and how he didn't used to attribute his own album covers to stock.
Apparently there's stuff about him on the dark web!
Limnetic Villains
I have never been brave enough to use the dark web, and after looking at YouTube videos of other people using it, it seems like a mixture of total shit and ways to get flagged by governments.
While I do want the NSA dudes checking my music out, I'm not that invested in it.
If there's stuff up about him on the dark web I wonder what it is, I'd be almost tempted to reach out to the guy who called him out but it's not worth it.
Back to ignoring him again.
God he's so embarrassing.

@limneticvillains yeah, I did think about it. But for example, the spritely institute intends that their internetworked self-hosted games connect via tor, to avoid it being basically an attack vector to participate.

@screwtape Deleted the original post, why tempt more stupidity!
screwlisp
@limneticvillains yeah, I see where you're coming from. There was a time I thought everyone could just self host via tor, but you're right that there's more than one problem.
Limnetic Villains
@screwtape I guess it depends who you trust though, wouldn't surprise me if Tor isn't the backend for something else. Where does it stop, I just assume everything I do online is recorded and visible to everyone always, even private messages, I always have since I was a kid on dial up.
