@GossiTheDog @b4ux1t3 @JRFreeman there absolutely fucking well was that presumption because this issue simply could not arise in the absence of that presumption.

@GossiTheDog @b4ux1t3 @JRFreeman that's a mastodon bug, and not in scope for this discussion. The idea that a domain couldn't be contested is some pretty privileged-ass nonsense, as are many design decisions made by the people who created mastodon.

@freemo so you're agreeing that you are unable to put up. d0 y0uR 0wn r3s34rc|-| isn't putting up.

You're the one making the extraordinary claim. You're the one who actually has to trot out the extraordinary evidence for it.

@freemo it's now been over a day since you alleged you "had to" do this pretty nebulous thing.

I'm just gonna put it out there that I asked you to name them for specific reasons, to wit:

- The obvious one, i.e. put up or shut up, and
- One slightly less obvious in this dystopian hellscape, namely that accountability and anonymity are opposites. If you're not allowed to say who they are, they were NOT held accountable, no matter what other things you try to insinuate happened without actually describing them.

@freemo Name two.

@freemo you have this backwards. How do YOU figure they can ever be held accountable? Just FYI, golden parachutes are not accountability, and neither is a stay Club Fed, after which they return to mansions and mistresses.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah, back in the early 2000sies, when I was still trying to be a liberal--we all make mistakes, right?--I remember being absolutely chilled to the bone when, shortly after 9/11, George W. Bush referred, in his shockingly phony "Texas" accent, to "Are Frins tha Sawdees." The obvious follow-up question was asked of him by no alleged journalist, namely, "just exactly who is in the first person plural to which you referred?" and the obvious next question, "Just exactly which Saudis were you referring to?"

I suspect that all the people in both groups were personally known to W, and numbered under 300 in total.

@ariadne "ACAB" hit their site as a marker of a hate group quite awhile back. For people attuned to such things, that was a loud and conclusive signal.
