 Also note that the only bit that got through to Aral is that I called his bullshit out as bullshit. Not the fact that he was disregarding the perspective of others, nor about how he could be using his platform for a positive change. This shows me that all Aral wants to do is bully people for not being perfect over helping people be better. 13 comments
@brainblasted still waiting for his design-led fully accessible phone, private cloud, and social media platform… 🙃 @brainblasted his latest posts read like bordering on a mental health episode, I hope he gets outside and that people stop antagonizing each other Last I recall, Aral had posted some stuff I had some disagreements with, I replied, and I'm only now realizing I haven't seen any posts or boosts from him since. Which, I mean, I'm glad he did, because I haven't missed any of those interactions.  @undead @brainblasted Well... that may not have been his choice after he went off on a lady of color for taking a job in big tech a few years back. > This shows me that all Aral wants to do is bully people for not being perfect over helping people be better. I am not sure you can draw this conclusion. Especially not if you hold yourself to a standard of acting in good faith when others are distressed. @drawnto I can draw conclusions from watching him repeat this song and dance for multiple different things over the course of the week. @brainblasted @brainblasted my guess is that's how he became who he is, at least as online presence. If he was asking to contribute, providing useful bug reports rather than pushing hate speech, he would have a very different audience. I think what you did was fair and brave and I thank you for it. @brainblasted aral is blocked from a good chunk of the fediverse over... lots of things. disappointed but not surprised :/ @brainblasted okay fuck I thought it was related to other post I saw earlier this week and now I checked your actual exchange and it is way nastier than I thought. fucking ew. |

@brainblasted I've had a low opinion of his online presence years ago and I'm glad people are starting to talk about it. He's already blocked me twice for calling out his incompetence on certain subjects.
