Please keep our family in prayer today. It was not bad enough to wake up to the election news this morning, but my dad, siblings, and aunts and uncles came out in full support of Trump. When asked about wanted to end healthcare for transgender individuals like my daughter, they voiced their support for bans on such care and bans on people being allowed to be trans.

It appears as though @yunohost is dead. No updates in weeks. My #pixelfed is broken and no one will answer emails or support tickets. I should have found something better than #yunohost, but I am not sure anything better exists. I really love hosting my own #mastodon instance, but that is about all Yunohost has working correctly at this point.

Please help me: I need my CGM sensor and gas to get to school the next week. Total is $125. If you can help, CashApp is bishopgreerg and Venmo is bishopgodsey. Https://paypal.me/GregoryGodsey

Thank you so much!

@BeAware I love the Mastodon platform itself, but I do not like many of the instances. They are poorly run and even worse about moderation.

@BeAware I could not agree more. Something can be done.

@BeAware I agree completely. I review all reports made on our platform. We don't have the number of users mastodon.social has, but they also have more moderators and admins than we do. So they could do a better job, they just choose not to. The number of instances dropping them should be an indication that changes need to be made, but sadly, they will not realize until the whole ship is submerged.

Just a heads up: My instance is about to block mastodon.social. If you are on that instance, we hope you will consider moving to a different instance. The racism, bigotry, abuse, and hatred on mastodon.social is out of control and the admins have no desire to fix it. At this point, we have no choice but to defederate them. #mastodon #fediblock

My wife and daughter were almost run off the road this afternoon by a #trump supporter (evidenced by their large trump sticker) in a white truck in Augusta, GA. He repeatedly tried to run them off the road, got in front of them, and repeatedly break checked them. Why? I guess because of our HRC #equality sticker on the vehicle. Hope the cops get to him first.

It's times like this that I hate #mastodon. Being told that calling for an end to #violence against EVERYONE is proof that I would sell out the #LGBT community and other marginalized people is abhorrent. It will further cause violence against those of us working to end violence against all of us. It is disturbing that our community attacks those of us fighting for our rights. So much for acceptance. #enbybishop

I need help. Ideally, I would like to catch up completely, but if we can raise the $206 that would be great too. Anything over that will continue to be applied to bills.

CashApp and Venmo are bishopgodsey.

I would like to point out that this is the height of transphobia and privilege. “I don’t have to listen to you, I will just do what I think you need me to do to be an ally and you will just like it or else.” That is the same privilege that people of color saw from white people who refused to stand against lynchings while calling for POC to just “be patient”. Meanwhile thousands died. Thousands are dying in this trans pogrom while you ignore it

@Npars01 “I hear a lot of talk these days about our direct action talk alienating former friends. I would rather feel they are bringing to the surface latent prejudices that are already there. If our direct action programs alienate our friends … they never were really our friends.”

This quote is talking about you and others who continue to ignore the cry’s of our trans family. You still refuse to call it what it is and that proves Dr. King’s quote applies to you.

@Npars01 since they blocked me, here is the post they made and following it is my reply.

I closed my accounts in January of this year. I had lost everything I worked to build. I almost ended my life. Which is what they wanted. Just remember, there is real damage being done on #tiktok and they do NOTHING to stop it. Almost all the accounts that sent threats and abuse are still active. Despite reporting them, TikTok always says there is no violation. If they do this to me, what are they doing to young people? 6/6

I finally closed my wedding ministry to stop some of the emails. I sat at the FBI office in Augusta Georgia begging for help. Since my home is in South Carolina and the church is in Georgia, they took the case. It is still open and has yielded some arrests. However the DOJ is timid when it comes to prosecuting hate crimes against LGBTQIA individuals. My family lost $2000 a month in income and my church lost all its members. They were too afraid to come after all the threats. 5/6

I continued my ministries because we were helping people and the risk to me was acceptable if it meant helping others. It continued to escalate and each week got worse. They #doxxed me. My address, phone number, email all leaked online. Then the phone calls started. Threats, abuse, vile language were common. Groups calls and text messages everyday. Emails everyday. They even used my wedding ministry to email me. (Some screenshots will be posted in the last few posts) 4/6

Then the hardcore #cyberterrorists started coming after me, my family, and my church. They tried to hack into the hospital computer systems at the hospital were I worked as a COVID ICU chaplain. They sent a flood of emails to the hospital alleging that because I and my daughter were #LGBTQIA we were both predators and I would abuse patients. I was fired shortly afterwards. After a protracted battle with the hospital, they agreed to hire me back if I closed my online and in person ministry. 3/6
