wrt. Lobsters, check your facts.
- Moderation actions are public on lobsters: https://lobste.rs/moderations
- Irene wasn’t active in that discussion.
- Some of the most upvoted comments were against the moderation clique.
Irene also wasn't involved in me removing srid's attempted brigading or it being the last straw for his ban.
The author of this article doesn't seem particularly interested in checking facts, they implied some nasty stuff about my actions and motivation without bothering to read the publicly available info or contact me.
I'm not sure if you realize that people aren't as stupid as you seem to think they are, and they are getting tired of this ridiculous rhetoric, and in this particular case, it is quite provable that you are lying.
We know the game well, pretend you are legitimate at all costs, whether you are telling the truth or not. Well guess what? That doesn't inspire anyone to do anything, and only inflates your ego.
You know what does inspire folks? Being honest, even when you don't have to be. This is about more than just the BS unsubstantiated claim that Srid is somehow a "dangerous person" as so often is dubiously suggested, this is about folks being tired of this garbage already. It is quite ironic, in my view, that the only "crime" srid is commiting is being a part of a different culture. I thought we were all about inclusivity? What happened to that?
Tell the truth, or stfu so those that do can speak, I leave it in your hands. Please and thank you.
There was no attempted brigading. All srid did was post about a tutorial written on nixos.asia, I don’t see any problem in that. I was involved in the thread and it was hexa who posted an off-topic message in the thread. If anyone was in the wrong here, it was you and hexa.
> srid's attempted brigading
Nowhere in the ban log you mentioned "attempted brigading"; rather what you mentioned, as reasons for the ban, was "lots of off-topic stories" & "[using] Lobsters to fight with the NixOS project".

Neither of which is true, of course, nor can they be proven.
To let the readers judge for themselves, here are my lobste.rs submissions & comments:
https://lobste.rs/~srid/stories
https://lobste.rs/~srid/threads
And here's the submission that got me banned (after a NixOS moderator, Hexa, commented on it so as to derail the submission):

Readers can’t judge for themselves because 23 of your comments and 21 of your stories were removed, mostly for abuse. (For context, less than 0.5% of commenters or submitters ever have a single removal.) You received several warnings about picking fights and you’re understandably focused on your fight with Nix but it only happened to be the last one you tried to start on Lobsters. There’s a pattern in your actions that’s why you keep getting rejected by technical communities, and it’s going to keep happening as long as you imagine a conspiracy or political motivation instead of looking at the pattern and taking responsibility for your behavior.
