@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange It's not even about the work.

They know I'm better a better developer than them. That's why they nitpick.

They hate me because I'm Black, I'm smarter than them, and people support me and my ideas.

It's not actually about me as a person. It's about what I represent.

And what I represent is an existential threat to their entire identity.

@moiety@queer.garden They've been in a frenzy since I launched my fund campaign, which I expected.

It's just wild how they accuse me of so much shit when I don't talk to them at all while they stay slandering me and what I do. They are constantly @'ing me with their bullshit, but somehow, I'm the Bad Guy in all this.

The racist mind is simply detached from reality.

And anyone who knows anything about software development over time knows that 40k is nothing. It's a drop in the bucket when it comes to developing quality apps, much less using them to cover expenses while one wants to develop.

The part they don't want to say out loud is that they believe a Black dev doesn't deserve that amount.

I'd respect it more if they just came out and said it instead of nitpicking and harassing me at every opportunity.

But they are cowards. That's why they hide and snipe.

They know when this work happens, all they'll have is each other to harass, abuse, and antagonize. They fear the result.

And they should. Because I'm not gonna stop.

Their incessant rage and hatefulness tell me I'm going in the right direction.

Yo, imagine being called a 'scam artist' by people who don't build shit and hide behind anime avatars.

By people who don't have a 20+ year history of building for all kinds of places and a definitive technical history in the fedi not only from running and maintaining an instance but working with people in this space for their projects.

I didn't sit around with my bigot friends and criticize people from a place of anonymity and cowardice.

The constant vitriol these fools constantly throw at me and about my work is not based on the reality of what I actually do.

They are projecting what they would do in my position because they *can't* do what I do.

So they do what hateful racists do and try to tear me down based on completely fabricated points.

My track record in the fedi stands for itself.

I challenge any fucking coward to make a case against this reality.

If you don't like me, that's fine. There are plenty of reasons to do so.

But the commentary in that thread goes so far beyond dislike because they keep lobbing their hatred at me and including me in their conversations for literally no reason.

They want to cause me harm. They don't want to build a better fedi. They don't want me to improve my software. They don't want to find a middle ground.

They want to erase me from the fedi so I don't continue to call out their bullshit and make tools that take away their ability to poison the timelines of people they don't like.

This is why I call them racists. This is why I say the core of their commentary is pure white supremacy.

They constantly show that their delusion of what they want to believe about me is more important than what I actually am.

And that's just colonialism in its rawest dehumanizing form.

They don't even want to recognize I'm a person.

This is the type of shit I fight on the fedi.

I know I said I wasn't going to bring attention to this, but yall need to see this.

Now mind you, I don't talk to any of these people. None. I don't reach out, I don't interact, I don't initiate any engagement. It's not really my thing to converse with people that I don't like. I just leave them alone and go my way.

But the way this group of people accuses me of slandering them when I literally don't say anything to them while picking apart my projects (which I don't mind because free debug, so thanks) even though I am very honest about the state of my work just boggles the mind.

These people straight-up hate me based on complete fabrications while committing the same acts they accuse me of with zero proof.

This level of delusion and hate can only be described as anti-Blackness because I quite literally do nothing to them, but they just *can't* leave me alone. This level of angst and constant antagonization is reserved specifically for Black folks who they feel don't deserve to be in this space.

If you're wondering why I am so adamant about fighting hatred in this space, this is a great example of why.

We simply cannot negotiate with this level of hate because it is completely unreasonable and unwarranted.

Trigger warning because these are nasty people.

Hey y'all. If you ever see me talking positively about Meta or Bluesky or Twitter, know they paid me THE BAG, and I'm going to redistribute it to all the cool ass projects and people I can find.

The lack of response by Bluesky as their members revolt and make it clear racism is not acceptable tells you all you need to know about their leadership.

I will be in and out for the next few days while I ramp up planning and development, but the fund hit just over 3k yesterday, which means I'm very close to hitting 10% in the first three days. Wow.

The support and kind words have far outnumbered the hostile harassment I've been getting, so I'm inspired and motivated to put my head down and build.

Thank you to everyone who has given and been supportive of the work I'm doing and what I'm going to accomplish.

This is turning into an extraordinary moment in the history of the fedi. Let's keep it going. This could be the moment we talk about years from now.

LOL, yeah, I'm pretty pumped.

Just dropping in for a quick update, but the fund stands at just about $3.5k/40k, inching ever so closer to the 10% mark, which would be a fantastic start in the first week. Let's get to that before the weekend!

And I love the comments people are leaving. Of course, it's not a requirement, but I appreciate the support and encouragement people drop.

It means a ton to see that people believe in my work and my ability to accomplish it.

A. Ton.

As of this morning, the fund has hit $1853/40k.

I will be very honest, and I am surprised and humbled that the campaign to get resources for #Fipamo and #TheBadSpace has started this strongly.

I'm feeling many emotions right now because of this, but it makes me feel like many more people than I thought to believe the fedi can be a transformative place.

It's only been one day, but I feel like we can do this and set an entirely new precedent for what we can accomplish if we pull together.

Thanks, y'all, and let's keep it going.

@Nya@nya.house I'm not interested in your incessant delusion to victimize yourself and people that have abused thousands of people on the fedi.

You have served your purpose and are no longer needed.

Enjoy your day.

@Nya@nya.house I can actually when you try to 'advise' me of 'false accusations' when there is plenty of evidence that details a long trail of poor behavior from your instance and the instances you defend.

LOL as I said, you were going to publish this conversation anyway, so it didn't matter what I said. You don't respect people's boundaries. You've proven that time and time again.

Criticism is fine. What you and what you're followers do isn't that.

Yes, because you reaching out to me to instigate a conversation is 'harassment' and 'spreading misinformation', even though I have never said anything to you until you said something to me.

You're just being delusional at this point. But that's what bigots do, so I'm not surprised.

Ok, I said I would do it, and here it is.

I want #Fipamo and #TheBadSpace to be viable mainstays in the fediverse ecosystem, and to get them where they need to be, I need some help to get them up to snuff.

Because I believe the fedi can be a fantastic place. And I want to make a direct contribution to making this space better.

Spread this around. It's time to get to work.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-new-way-to-social-media

Ok, y'all I am very anxious but I know what I want to build and how I want to build it. I want to spend a significant amount of time creating tools that make this space better and connecting with folks that have this same goal.

I have no idea how it's gonna go but I'm gonna start a gofundme campaign this week so I can buckle down for the rest of the year to get #Fipamo out of beta and finish the #TheBadSpace

I'm saying it out loud so I commit to doing it.

Ok. Ok? Ok.

I want people to remember how many folks angrily demanded us to give Meta/Facebook a chance.

Remember that moment as more and more of these stories come out.

This is a fun time.

For all of their resources and political clout, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit are adjusting to us.

The inexplicable rise of the fediverse as an independent player has the Big Tech spots scared. They see the shift that is happening and are scrambling to adapt.

They'll do what corporations do to protect their interests: put out mediocre products and lean on their brand recognition to re-capture people into their ecosystems because they have the resources to wait out the hard times.

But we're here, and we are not burdened by the decision-making of people that are out of touch about what makes the web a great place. We have the ability to build and adapt faster and leaner, responding to the needs of various communities in real-time.

This is the space where real innovation happens. This is the space where we make huge jumps forward into the realm of what is possible instead of settling for what is.

This is going to be exciting.

Aye, everybody. We have options.

It's gonna be ok. Ha, it's just a bit chaotic right now.

But we're gonna be fine.

Ok but ALL the Black folks are on Spill.

So DeSantis is just running 4chan ads now.

Well, ok then.
