There's a reason I'm so frustrated by the people who ddosed his servers and who are using this to direct racist harassment and other bullshit at him, it just further poisons the discourse and makes any kind of resolution more and more impossible. And it also honestly should be upsetting for anyone who cares the least bit about injustice to see him get that kind of stuff because nobody deserves racist harassment for any reason whatever.

The problem is that this keeps going because, for whatever he might have been initially right about, he's just continue to double down and double down and double down on transphobia and race reductionism and lashing out at everyone who criticizes him because his massive ego won't let him do anything else. That's become the problem at this point, because he's the catalyst for mastodon.art and their whole contingent doing what they do, because their whole thing is just kind of unquestioningly backing him up.

That's also why his claims that the idea that he has influence over the TBS block list is a lie are so nonsensical — he's literally friends with the head of one of the servers that TBS uses as a source (welsh pixie), and they unquestioningly block anything he puts on fediblock, meaning anything he wants blocked pretty much automatically has 50% of the votes it needs to be blocked. And guess what? At least one of the other servers used as a source for TBS is part of a moderator group with a private Discord and everything with mastodon.art where they coordinate moderation decisions!
