@ErikUden@mastodon.de We got @ErikUden thats just wtf all the ways... :blobcatgoogly: it seems you have bad luck with annoying people and an annoying ISP...
irc bothers me the same way. idk if there are still bot battles over specific popular channels on EFnet, but hooooly fuck guys do something something useful. @ErikUden Well... After I had a fediverse admin who did not like me confronting him with his own arguments hunt down everyone who knew me, including correlating the IPs I used according to his webserver logs with my customers to block their networks, I am not at all surprised. @nik Wow, I am really sorry this had to happen to you. I wouldn't believe my weird friends here are willing to go that far, but you never know... Apparently some people on the Fedi are just timebombs and you just need to meet them on the wrong day and they'll decide to dedicate incredible resources in their life to end everything you tried building. ...I hope that admin never crosses paths with you again! @foufoutos Rather people who weaponize their stupidity to be annoying. I am still not believing no one is this stupid, this was obviously on purpose. @ErikUden @DerBote Ach Gott, Enkel-Scammer sind nur halb so lustig wie diese Menschen :blobcatdizzy2: @ErikUden Einfach "Oh Gott, es brennt!" rufen und auflegen. @ErikUden seeing as your public IP isn't Vodafone's they'd have to prove it first. But as if Vodafone gives enough shits to really investigate it for peanuts, you'd have to be running Netflix.com on it to grab their interest. Some people just have easy lives and create problems to entertain themselves. btw, I rail 100GB+ a month on a residential ADSL+4G combo and my not Vodafone sized ISP doesn't even throttle the 4G booster, let alone demand a biz contract, so good luck to them @kc Oh man, these self-proclaimed anarchists should now jump to Vodafone's rescue and report you too! Can't have a multi billion dollar corporation lose on those profits (yes, they somehow justify themselves being anarchists, it is crazy). @ErikUden I mean they could sell me out to Vodafone but they'd have to figure out what its called here and have a real fucking great technical level of French to do it (and then realise I'm not with that shit company 😂). But again, they could dig + whois me, my ISP even gave me a full stack fixed IPv4 for nothing just because I clicked a buttion that said I want it and knew what I was doing. So they kind of just assume if you do that, you're doing something of that nature, no questions asked @Bel_tamtu Haha, no worries! Experiencing this once was fun, if this were to become a reoccurring theme I'd be quite agitated, but I am sure they'll leave it be after this. Thanks for the support, though! <3 Nice to see I am not the crazy one here ^ ^ @ErikUden @nytpu > (side-services of mastodon.de are hosted behind a 1Gbit/s private connection instead of a business contract)
Fuck Vodaphone for encouraging & perpetuating the death of the end-to-end principle for the Internet. An Internet connection is an Internet connection, that's all. It is supposed to be a dumb pipe and nothing else. I agree with everything about people with nothing better too do than looking for a fight being super energy draining. The weirdest thing here is that you have a phone number and answer it? I hope your cloud migration goes well! @ErikUden first of all I hope you could sleep after such an interruption. Self hosting like you do is an achievement of a lot of work and technical skill. I wish I could do the same. Keep the good job going @ErikUden du hast meine Solidarität. Den Menschen ist es einfacher, sich ‚einfachere‘ Opfer zu suchen, weil sie sich selbst zu klein fühlen, um gegen die ganz großen etwas zu machen. Ihren Frust lassen sie dann so raus… solche Menschen haben mein Mitleid, weil sie offensichtlich wegen etwas oder mehreren Kleinigkeiten gekränkt sind und für ihre persönlichen Probleme keine würdige Lösung finden (wollen). |

An Incomplete Timeline of My Experience with Them
A Vague (and still incomplete) Timeline of My Experience After
Ever since I experienced this comparatively light harassment, I've been speaking to victims and heard the most unimaginable things. From withholding medicine in order to bully people or make them do false allegations to coordinating misinformation and collaborating with local (sports) clubs, hackerspaces, communities in order to ban people they dislike / came forward about their abuse, from all of these spaces.
That's quite ironic considering they were banished for this behavior from hackerspaces and now project this treatment onto others.
The people this was and still is about are:

- Amie | https://social.treehouse.systems/@amie
Continuing with the normal post this was originally about...
I was called on my personal phone number this evening (22:50) by a group of 10 people from the Fediverse ( https://girldick.gay/@lily ) threatening to report to Vodafone that we are disobeying their terms of service (side-services of mastodon.de are hosted behind a 1Gbit/s private connection instead of a business contract). While their obviously ill-intended conversation was going on, they were also live posting about it on their accounts happily admitting to what they are doing. You can see these comments as screenshots attached to this post.
You can read a memory log of our conversation here and here.
The motivation behind this was simply to annoy me. I know the people, we had a slight disagreement on the Fediverse recently. Regardless of the contract, we have planned to move mastodon.de completely to the cloud soon.
Honest to god, mastodon.de is a donation-funded project. Me and a couple of friends do this honorarily and we do our best to be as transparent about our expenditures as possible. I do all the finances, all public texts, all management, calls, etc. I do this next to studying Computer Science in university, next to my honorary political / environmental activist work, next to having friends or sleeping which often comes too short.
I'd love to have the life of people that can take the time out of their day to call someone at 11 pm simply to annoy them due to some internet argument that started and ended over a week ago. Truly, if I'd have that kind of time I'd be happier in life. Annoy billionaires and politicians, but not some guy who has spent all of his time, effort, and money into something that is for the common good.
