“Let Chaos storm, let cloud shapes swarm; I wait for form”
Wasn’t me who asked. I have been very strongly in favor of it though, guilty as charged. I will not shy away from that.
Again. I know people wish to scapegoat me and blame me for this (up to and including harassment). Like I said this would’ve happened with or without me.
Seems more like you want people to be furious.
I’m just making the observation that a lot of feddit users went into the thread and were pissed off about it happening, plus the fact that I got harassed persistently throughout the course of the vote. Those aren’t things that happen when people aren’t pissed.
If that is the case it doesn’t make sense why Feddit had such a strong and hostile reaction to the existence and progress of the vote thread.
Shouldn’t it be obvious I’m not? Read the post again:
I know there is a lot of desire by people unhappy with the outcome to scapegoat me as personally responsible (and take out their anger on me personally) but this is a community effort and would’ve likely happened with or without me.
Definitely seems sus.
You could always open feddit.org in a private window to check on them if you wanted. I checked recently and they seemed pretty unaware of it even happening. My guess is that they’ll be seething when they find out.
My legit accounts are as follows:
Yes I know this is excessive and I created many of them either when I was less sure of the Fediverse or because I wanted some activity separation in who I follow or communities I’m part of. And also because of Federation issues as well. I also was kind of hoping Lemmy would have something in the future where accounts like this can be merged into a single nomadic account. I had heard of something like that but I can’t find it now :/
I created it a while back because I thought having the username occupied would prevent this sort of thing from happening. I was more naive back then and didn’t think someone would be pathetic enough to use misspellings and lookalikes to get around that 😔.
How does it seed videos anyway? I’m not familiar with this feature of Peertube, is it using Bittorrent? if so one could just use any Bittorrent client assuming Peertube exposes the magnet link (they really should).

Part of me thinks the real reason they only support Pixels is that they really like pixels and have brand loyalty to them. It also could be that Google pays them to only support Pixels, although that’s a bit more conspiratorial.
