I feel like absolute shit. Horrible. Awful. Shittyfuck fuck fuck.

But something awesome happened.

I met Smokey!

Doing a rare office day. A few minutes away I spot this huge fluffy grey creature. He reminds me of a cat I used to have who looked a bit like Ron Perlman.

I stopped. Smokey scremmed. I took a picture and said hello.

A woman came over and said “Smokey!”

“Ohh Smokey, good name. Is he yours?”

“No he’s a wild cat, we all feed him in the area “(I was next to a council estate)

“Oh that’s nice, you’ve been taking care of him well”

“He’s been missing for a year!”

I moved on quickly as she was so startled she got on the phone immediately to a neighbour or family member, telling them that Smokey had turned up! Yay Smokey :)

Welcome home Smokey!! 🎉🎉

I will translate this into “neurotypical person, who is not begging their elvanse to kick in”

Hi folks! Please send me your blogs! If you still write on them I want to take a look at them! Just to remind myself that there are still people making independent and good content out there, and maybe learn some cool new things :)

there

grishka.me, for some definition of "that you update", but also the account I'm writing this from, I built my own ActivityPub server from scratch

So, my account of events re: the Bad Space, an attempt of chronological order!

A server for trans people gets erroneously reccomended for a suspension on thebad.space

- a mod on tech.lgbt posts a thread full of misinformation about the list
- the same mod is in the private fedimin space and before waiting for a respose, argue with and ignore people who point out their anti-black undertones, we remove them
- I help get the wrongly-reccomended-for-action server off that list and off the individual "trusted source"'s list
- Ro fixes a bug displaying all servers that only have one action against it, still not properly live due to days of DDOSing
- the tech.lgbt mod apologises publically
- the "trusted source" is removed from tbp at their request, they are held accountable for their anti-trans action and will not be invited back
- Ro gets 5(? so far?) days of racism thrown his way, he's an alt-right grifter who hates trans women despite working with them to make this list

@james Ro is very prickly about his project and tends to leap for the worst possible interpretation of any critique of it. I can’t fault him too much on that, given the hideous racism on the fediverse. Alas, his design is not that great and it appears he’s blindly supporting his list providers despite their ‘phobic content.

And it does not help one bit that it appears like he’s adding sites to his personal lists just because people there are criticizing his project.

Blocking nazis is good. Blocking racists is good. But jesus christ that existing blocklist is unmitigated trash and it shows no signs of getting better

@james correction: it wasn't just "a server" for trans people, but multiple, and especially multiple for trans women.

You also left out mentioning the topic of transmisogyny entirely, instead just saying "transphobia".

You're ignoring what trans women are saying but you seem to think it's okay to imply you represent us in some way because you have a trans girlfriend. That looks like tokenism to me

@james Thank you so much for this timeline. Even as a fellow member of Fediadmins, keeping track of all this has been difficult. The clarification about there being two different websites really cleared things up, for example.
Although actually, aren't there three websites now? There was that first anti-blocklist pact, then that blog post listing all the supposedly transphobic blocks (is that just one blog post, or a whoel website?), and now The "Good" Space. Are these all by different bigots?

- You started building your own ActivityPub server from scratch but you haven't added anything substantial to it in months 🥲
