I really don't like that it is being detected on all continents simultaneously. Probably fine though.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-covid-variant-ba286-2023-what-to-know-experts/ posted:New COVID variant BA.2.86 spreading in the U.S. in August 2023. Here are key facts experts want you to know.

Boba Pearl posted:The thread is a cesspit, with the absolute worst posters, headed now by one of the worst posters. They're allowed to do whatever they want, and face no repercussions, a day for handing out fake medicine? Nothing is being done about the constant homophobic and transphobic sentiment, and I'm not going to list it all out, because it's exhausting to look for attacks over and over and have nothing done about them. They constantly attack anyone whose an outsider. They are the worst the forums has to offer, and are constantly being handed rope by which they use to strangle the rest of the forums. As the super gay trans ik who got treated like total poo poo trying to do right by this thread, seeing this from someone who literally was protected by the site owner after posting terrorist threats and given space to drive her patreon has completely broken the lingering shreds of giving a poo poo about this site 'as a community.'

Nobody doxxed me. It was something I was concerned about given how pissed off people were getting but apparently I has less to worry about than I thought.

SPR was at the vanguard of previous times. There is more weight of evidence at this point that obsessive drama posters are more likely to do things horribly damaging to the forums than anyone else.

The way people were getting upset was concerning to me since it was way disproportionate and I have a good enough relationship with my manager that I wanted to get ahead of it in case anything happened.

Pingui posted:I meant it like "all of these", it also hasn't been seen in South America. Sorry was joking a bit. But I kinda do wonder since we've been finding it in wild places so spread out across the globe, has it been spreading for a while before it was detected? Not a good feeling with the various huge number of mutations out of nowhere.

NeonPunk posted:Sorry was joking a bit. Not for long I don't think. The samples so far have been fairly similar (though there are some minor changes from country to country) and sampled around the same time (within the last month). Edit: Also I got the joke, just wanted to highlight that it wasn't spotted in South America... yet.

Yeah, what's this us versus them bullshit, something needs to be done about folks getting torqued by goon telephone if that insularity and drama issue is to be stopped with some finality. yes, CPU abuser needed a yearprobe for that post, yes the transphobia needed bans, but all that poo poo could have been handled quickly and efficiently and without a circus that caused folks to go us and them. the drama seeking tendency in SAD is a major problem for forums administration.

boba pearls accusations and insinuations were entirely hosed up. her belief that this thread is full of transphobes and homophobes that attacked her was made up out of whole cloth. the idea that i "let my cadre" do anything is like, laughable on its face. no one even knew i was an ik for like a year+ until maybe a month or two ago lol the timing was such that the post didn't get nuked because things needed to be figured out. sometimes things are actually discussed before action is taken. sometimes decisions are changed during those discussions. did you know if a mod puts anything in above 1 day it has to have admin approval before anything shows up? please remember not everything is instant and in some cases, it's important to be exactly, 100% sure of something. i don't think i can say more about that without an admin jumping in tbh is this us vs them posting? i don't think so. this is a single person who did some awful things and they no longer belong on the website. i am not saying everyone critical of the cspam covid thread is the same, or also wrong, or in anyway implicated by the coincidence that one person who is awful also criticized this thread. there have been lots of instances of posts in this thread over the years of circling the wagons, taking new voices in the worst possible reading, etc. that really does need to stop, and for the most part it really has. there is also lazy trolling sometimes (though that has been almost nothing in the last week) and that needs kicked in the knees as well. there have been lots of jokes just today by people who do not normally post in this thread -- who sometimes also post in threads that end up on "them" lists! -- that were great and people lolled and not a single report was filed. GUAC is a drat good joke, etc. this really what i want to get to:

I just can't imagine caring about subforums or threads you don't like or visit here. I don't know what the hell goes on in like, FYAD, and I don't care because I just don't go there. I don't feel the need the run them off the forums or make SAD posts demanding they be removed because they are not posting to my personal standards. D&D people post wrong poo poo all the time, but again, I just don't hang out there. I like how the people obsessing over wrongthink in threads and attacking peope over it, are considered the normal people. They don't agree with me that everything is fine and I demand they be removed because everyone needs to agree with me. skooma512 has issued a correction as of 00:31 on Aug 25, 2023 |

fosborb, I know you're trying to cool things down but trying to treat this as an isolated, disconnected incident is really fair from both how people behave and the impact that it has on the people who feel targeted by it. Like if anything at all can help get this site out of the mess is realizing that when tons of people are toeing up to the line but not going over, (which doesn't need to have to be because of 'crews' or intentional organization, just the social dynamics of things like a public LC and SAD) it creates lovely situations that bubble over, escalate and it isn't just a problem with the people who spectacularly flame out. poo poo needs to be viewed in context of the overall system, the same way we look at covid.
