Edit 26.04.2024

Other victims have now spoken out about this and I urge you to read their story

Aprl as a Victim of Coordinated Harassment

Domi as a Victim of Coordinated Harassment and Withholding Medicine

Ari and the Warsaw Hackerspace

Wanda as a Coworker and Flatmate | Coordinated Harassment & Medical Misinformation

Yavien as a Flatmate

Miya Ironami as a Witness of Manipulative Abuse

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:

- Lily | girldick.gay/@lily
- Amie | 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 ( 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.

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.

@skobkin I have no idea. Really. I mean, let's roll back here a bit: in what UNIVERSE does having a phone number mean having 24/7 Friday night support ready? Call your local supermarket, why don't ya? Some local office of some nonsense company? They don't got support. They use their phone number to do business calls during business hours... What? The reasoning here is just incredible.

Then the fact they're calling me on my personal mobile phone over a 35€ internet contract which includes a phone number - which is the phone number of my company... which can be found on my company's website? You wouldn't need to be a genius to figure that one out, but I think we're going about this too rational.

They aren't trying to understand it, rather they are actively trying to weaponize their stupidity and incompetence to annoy me. The goal here isn't to be helpful or ask honest questions, the goal was simply to turn Erik Uden into a spectacle, which was entertaining for a while, but gets old really quick.

@skobkin Completely agree! They are not on our instance, to be fair, I also would not ban them if they were, just ask them to not do this any further and then ignore them.

You are right that this is not worth my time and usually I would not publicize something like this - however, I felt like I wanted to speak up about it because it has never happened to me before and I do not know how to deal with it?

I wanted to talk about it because it was surprising... to say the least. In the future I will no longer bug my timeline with it.

Yeah, I can understand your frustrarion. Sometimes we meet completely irrational people and it's very hard to comprehend what's going on in their heads. Often it's not worth it to even try.

And no, I wasn't suggesting to ban them right away, just let them know that with such behavior they're not welcome. And if they're not on your instance then it's probably not even worth blocking them. So you're right, ignoring them sounds like the best choice.

Memory log of the call:

"P" for person calling, and "E" for me, Erik Uden

P: Hello?

E: Hello!

P: Yes, is this the phone support of mastodon.de?

E: Um, not really. This is my private phone number. Hello!

P: How is this not the telephone support of mastodon.de? But that's what it says - in the costs it says here that mastodon.de can also be reached 50% of the time by telephone. Right?

//Break//
[The context here is that €35, or 50% of the total cost of the Vodafone contract, is listed as part of the expenses of mastodon.de. Since some of the servers are located in my private home and use a large part of the bandwidth, we pay for them. This contract is a bundle and also offers a phone number, this is the phone number of Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt), listed on our website. The people who called me simply called my private mobile phone number].
//Continue//

P: Which number do I call if I want to contact mastodon.de support?

E: Ehm... you can... so basically the phone number is only given because of the imprint and so on.

P: That's in the operating costs. And 50%. So I'm actually expecting support, yeah?

E: Because it's a bundled contract with the-

P: Yes, but a private connection like that is not so nice if you do it with Vodafone, they actually have something against it. So this is actually the official business support, isn't it?

E: This is my private telephone number -

P: So this is the support for mastodon.de now?

E: No, this is my personal phone number, the number on my profile.

P: But it's there now, it says "Vodafone connection".

P: Yes, it's on the website. If you click here on mastodon.de. Then it says something about costs. Then it says something about 300€. Internet, electricity and domains. Then it says here: since mastodon.de can also be reached by telephone via this combined contract, it is also fair to charge 50% for this. So I already expect telephone support if 50% goes out for it.

//Break//
[Context, the full quote is as follows:

>

The servers are operated in the private home of and therefore also use its Internet connection for more than 50%, but let's say as a fictional value that MastodonDE is only charged 50% and the other 50% continues to be used privately. Since MastodonDE can also be reached by telephone via this combined contract, it is also fair to charge 50% for this.

I would also like to point out that mastodon.de is managed by Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt). The phone number mentioned here is used by Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt), i.e. me, for business purposes, e.g. to talk to Vodafone support when things don't work, to call Hetzner, or yes, to be reachable for Mastodon-specific things. For example, if a university etc. wants to invite one of us as a guest speaker.

The expectation to be reachable on a number which is listed as a cost is a legitimate one. However, not at Friday 23:00 on my private telephone number. The actual number that is paid for with this contract is listed on the website of Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt) and has clear business hours. My private number has no business hours.
//Continue//

E: The combined contract is also an Internet contract, that's Vodafone Red ehm...-

P: Then mastodon.de can also be reached by phone, right?

E: Yes, definitely. This is just my private phone number.

// End

From there it continued for another 18 minutes. And yes, the whole conversation was as aggravating and as intently misunderstanding and this short section. This was obviously not well intended. I do not understand why one would bug open source maintainers that manage a donation funded project with no profit motive or ads or personal gain like that. I wish I had that kinda time.

Gedächtnisprotokoll des Anrufs:

auf deutsch, da die Konversation auf deutsch stattfand

„P“ für Person die Anruft, und „E“ für mich, Erik Uden

P: Hallo?

E: Hallo!

P: Ja, ist das hier der Telefonsupport von mastodon.de?

E: Ähm, nicht wirklich. Das ist meine private Telefonnummer. Hallo!

P: Wie hier ist nicht der Telefonsupport von mastodon.de? Aber das steht doch - bei den Kosten steht doch hier drin das mastodon.de zu 50% auch durch den Telefonanschluss erreichbar ist. Oder?

//Break//
[Zum Kontext geht es hierbei darum, dass als Teil der Ausgaben von mastodon.de 35€, oder 50% der Gesamtkosten des Vodafone-Vertrags, gelistet sind. Da Teile der Server in meinem privaten Haus stehen und diese einen großen Teil der Bandbreite nutzen, wir somit dafür bezahlen. Dieser Vertrag ist ein Bundle und bietet auch eine Telefonnummer, dies ist die Telefonnummer der Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt), gelistet auf unserer Webseite. Die Personen die mich anriefen haben aber einfach meine private Mobilfunktelefonnummer angerufen.]
//Continue//

E: Die Telefonnummer die dort angegeben ist, ist eine andere.

P: Welche Nummer rufe Ich an wenn Ich zum Support von mastodon.de möchte?

E: Ehm... man kann... also grundlegend ist die Telefonnummer nur angegeben weil Impressum und so.

P: Das steht doch in den Betriebskosten drin. Und 50%. Also da erwarte Ich ja eigentlich schon einen Support, joa?

E: Weil das ein gebündelter Vertrag ist mit den-

P: Schon, aber so Privatanschluss ist dann ja eher nicht so nett wenn man das bei Vodafone macht, da haben die ja eigentlich was dagegen. Also ist das hier ja eigentlich schon der offizielle Business Support, oder?

E: Das ist meine private Telefonnummer-

P: Also ist hier der Support von mastodon.de quasi jetzt?

E: Nein, das ist meine persönliche Telefonnummer, also die Nummer die auf meinem Profil steht.

P: Aber die ist doch da jetzt angegeben, das steht doch drin „Vodafone-Anschluss“.

P: Ja, das steht auf der Webseite. Wenn man sich hier auf mastodon.de sich hier mal clickt. Dann steht hier irgendwas von Kosten. Dann steht hier irgendwas von 300€. Internet, Strom, und Domains. Dann steht hier: da mastodon.de auch telefonisch über diesen Kombi-Vertrag erreichbar ist, ist es auch Fair 50% dafür zu berechnen. Also erwarte Ich da jetzt schon Telefonsupport, wenn da 50% für rausgeht.

//Break//
[Kontext, das volle Zitat lautet wie folgt:

>

Die Server werden in dem Privathaus von betrieben und benutzen somit auch dessen Internetanschluss zu mehr als 50%, jedoch sagen wir als Fiktionswert, dass MastodonDE nur 50% berechnet wird und die anderen 50% weiterhin privat genutzt. Da MastodonDE auch telefonisch über diesen Kombi-Vertrag erreichbar ist, ist es auch fair dafür 50% zu berechnen.

Ich möchte zudem anmerken, dass mastodon.de gemanaged wird von der Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt). DIe hier genannte Telefonnummer wird von der Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt), also mir, geschäftlich genutzt um z.B. mit Vodafone Support zu reden wenn Dinge nicht funktionieren, bei Hetzner anzurufen, oder ja, wegen Mastodon-spezifischen Sachen erreichbar zu sein. Z.B. Wenn eine Uni etc. jemanden von uns als Gastredner:Innen einladen möchte.

Die Erwartung auf einer Nummer erreichbar zu sein welche bei uns als Kosten aufgelistet ist, ist eine legitime. Jedoch nicht um Freitag 23:00 Uhr auf meiner privaten Telefonnummer. Die tatsächliche Nummer welche mit diesem Vertrag bezahlt wird ist auf der Webseite der Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt) gelistet und hat klare Geschäftszeiten. Meine private Nummer hat keine Geschäftszeiten.
//Continue//

E: Der Kombi-Vertrag ist auch gleichzeitig ein Internet-Vertrag, das ist Vodafone Red ehm...-

P: Dann ist ja mastodon.de auch telefonisch erreichbar, ne?

E: Ja, auf jeden Fall. Das hier ist nur meine private Telefonnummer.

Wenn es ihnen wirklich um Unklarheiten bei den Ausgaben unseres Open Source Projekts geht dann bin Ich bereit für eine öffentliche Debatte bei der Ich alles aufkläre und Fakten auf den Tisch lege mit vorbereiteten Finanzdokumenten etc.

Aber darum geht es hier offensichtlich nicht. Es geht darum einen Menschen wie mich zu einer Attraktion werden zu lassen, sich zu bespaßen an meiner Frustration und der Zeit die mir durch sie geraubt wird.

Für die Transparenz und das ehrliche Beantworten von Unstimmigkeiten stehe Ich aber immer noch - auch wenn man dafür manchmal die Zeit an ein paar böswillige Menschen vergeudet.

[10 Minuten Später]

E: [...] Ich werd angerufen währenddessen Ich in Prag sitze wegen meinem Vodafone Red Tarif was-auch-immer. Was ist da los? Was hast du heute gemacht?

P: Ich bin heute arbeiten gegangen.

E: Du bist arbeiten gegangen? Okay, warum machst du nicht was mit Freunden? Ich meine, Ich schätze du machst grad was mit Freunden-

P: Also Ich sitze hier mit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 anderen Leuten - und du sitzt alleine in Prag? Gewonnen.

E: Das ist doch richtig richtig toll! Aber warum macht ihr diesen Abend um mich?

P: Also wir haben grad richtig Spaß!

E: Ich verstehe einfach nicht - was war der Motivationsgrund? Der originale Motivationsgrund-

P: Der originale Motivationsgrund war das du-

E: Er war seit netter miteinander im Internet. Und dann geht man Beiträge von mir durch und tut so einen Unsinn. Ist das deine Definition von Nett? Was ist das Ziel hier?

P: Das Ziel ist das Ich mich jetzt verabschiede Herr Uden.

[...]

E: Ich kann das alles klar und deutlich erklären - nicht an einem Freitag um 23:00 Uhr. Ich muss mich auch darauf vorbereiten. Ich bin eine Privatperson. Diese Finanzsachen die Ich damals geposted habe - wie alt ist das? 2-3 Monate? Wir sind ein spendenfinanziertes Projekt! Hinter uns steht keine Ölfirma oder irgendwas. Wir haben keine unendlichen Ressourcen. Ich mach so einen sh*t alleine! Ich verstehe nicht warum man dann so auf einer Privatperson rumhackt die es nicht hinbekommt irgendwelche Finanzdokumente zu updaten von einem open source und freiwilligen und ehrenamtlichen Projekt. Warum muss man das fertig machen? Warum muss man sich darüber lustig machen? Warum muss man die-

P: Weil das Lizenzverstöße sind!

E: Lizenzverstöße! Oh mein Gott! Gegen Vodafone AGBs wird verstoßen. Das tut mir von ganzen Herzen weh. Wenn ein Milliardenunternehmen Geld verliert. Das tut mir weh! Bitte bitte melde das an Vodafone. Ich fände das wirklich schrecklich - also die Euro die sie mehr verdienen würden. Ich gebe auch immer Trinkgeld an meinen Vermieter, der hat einfach so einen harten Job nichts zu tun.

P: Ich geb immer Trinkgeld ans Finanzamt!

E: Ja natürlich. Ich zahle immer mehr Steuern, das macht die Uden UG (haftungsbeschränkt) - die ganzen tausend und Millionen Euro an Spenden die wir erhalten die gehen immer an extra Trinkgeld ans Finanzamt. Weil Ich mag es denen auch Geld zu geben, dann meckern die meistens auch nicht wenn man mehr gibt.

E: Keine Ahnung - Wenn es um Spaß geht dann bin Ich da komplett hinter, dann kann man das tun, aber warum ein quelloffenes Projekt fertig machen wo ein Typ dahinter steht? Warum-

P: Warum Privatkundenanschluss bis zum Maximum ausnutzen einfach nur weil man kein Business zahlen möchte.

[...]

P: Voll lästig, dass man dann auch so, dafür bezahlen muss wofür man dann auch die Leistung für bekommt.

E: Bist du nicht Anarchist? Bist du Fan von Firmen? Was ist hier los? Im Fediverse kenn Ich nicht so viele Leute die einfach hinter Firmen und deren AGBs stehen. Das finde Ich faszinierend.

[...]

E: Ich finde das echt gut! Erster Vodafone Aktivist. Vodafone heißt Antifa :antifa:​ ! Bin Ich immer mit dabei. Vodafone-Ultra.

E: Es geht hier definitiv um die Vodafone-Leitung, es geht nicht um irgendwas anderes. Es geht nicht darum, dass Ich dich genervt hab wegen Kommentaren im Internet. Es geht eindeutig darum, dass die Vodafone-Leitung (bricht zusammen in Lachen) wirklich, wirklich dir am Herzen liegt und du gerne möchtest das open source, quelloffene und gemeinnützige Projekte aber bitte sich auch an die AGBs von Milliardenkonzern halten. Darum geht es hier eindeutig in dieser Konversation. Dieser Anruf war auch eindeutig aus Herz und Mitleid für die Vodafone Investoren.

P: Ja, das schon-

E: Die Executives! Die Executives von Vodafone. Oh Gott. „Vodafone Executives wenn Erik Uden keinen Business-Vertrag hat“ das wäre ein witziges Meme...

@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

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.

@kc @ErikUden nah, if they were anarcho-capitalists they'd just "let the free market decide" or whatever. Vodafone should have just paid for a private militia to catch people violating their ToS!!!

@ErikUden Wow, that's some weaponized stupidity. I'm sorry to hear you are the target of this. :(

@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 ^ ^

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.

@ErikUden

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!

Erik Uden 🍑

@StompyRobot hahahaha, true! Why would I answer random calls on my phone from unknown numbers? Well, it mostly has something to do with the fact that my phone broke recently and I didn't have the time to recover backups / restore contacts yet - meaning any number that calls me could be like a close friend of mine.

Thanks for the good wishes! The cloud migration will be good.

@ErikUden first of all I hope you could sleep after such an interruption.

@ErikUden Bloody hell, Erik… no good deed goes unpunished, eh? I’m so sorry you had to waste your time like that. That collection of ten asshats has now been blocked from my end.

Life’s too short. If it was me, I’d tell them where they could stick their collective entitlement, hang up, block, and move on :)

Hope you’re having a better day today.

@aral Thank you, Aral <3. It's wonderful to have your support in a moment like this.

I'm usually entirely with you - this is not worth anyone's time. I should know better not to take obvious attempts at annoying me serious enough to let them affect me, but in that moment I was just too surprised that this was happening I was willing to let it go through. Going forward I'll follow your advice! Again, thanks a lot.

I'm having a wonderful day today!! I'm currently in Prague and there was incredible snowfall during the night- something I haven't seen up north where I live since my earliest childhood.

So, don't worry! I'm having a wonderful time and am willing to leave this discussion behind (again). I honestly forgot this was a thing as the original discussion happened over a week ago - in a week I will not care again. I'm going to build another snowman today and maybe go over Charles Bridge or to the castle! Love this city!! :ablobcatsnowjoy: :blobcat_santamelt:

@ErikUden

As a society, we have largely shielded the internet (in perception only) from matters of bullying, even calling it cyber-bullying to differentiate. It's just bullying. It's what the business students did to me every single semester I taught them, some 20% of the 750 students I was teaching a semester. That's more than 140 people trying to get under your skin at least once every single semester, for their own flawed behaviors. Let's just say, I don't teach anymore. %uck 'em.

There are so many hobbies to spend your time with (even for free when it comes to reading), or to numb your mind with, yet they choose bullying.
