       I feel like considering how there was a surprising focus on my situation in @notst0's video, I should at the very least make a public post confirming that I have at least had the """"NSFW"""" tag removed from my account... A full year after it was applied and I decided to move on, and a good month after helping a friend start their own direct competitor.(Shameless plug: https://abyss.cafe/@saltyfishboi)I would like to say something, though: I kept calling it a shadow ban instead of a NSFW tag, and there's a reason for that. I feel it's the manipulation of the conversation. My account being hit with the NSFW tag functions as a shadow ban, but it implies I was guilty of some kind of open degeneracy when the topic comes up. Without all the details, it puts this idea in the minds of even people that would be willing to defend it that I was habitually pushing some kind of pornography in public spaces where it wasn't welcome.In reality the closest I ever got to that on my account was "public beach appropriate" pinup, legitimate artistic anatomy practice of my own (which I would usually tag anyway), and the odd cock ring shitpost in response to obvious spam in my replies.And now I'm hearing that this was applied to more accounts than just mine for reasons unrelated to porn, frankly making it feel like a completely intentional malicious act by Minds staff. Obviously it would be foolish to simply assume that it was, I'm just explaining how it could very well seem to a reasonable person.Honestly don't know if I'll ever feel like coming back to this site after being blackpilled so damn hard, but I at least wanted to address all this publicly.

       #MindsUltimatum Staff Response Evidence 03 (Apology Edition)I have since gotten an update from SaltyFishBoi that the NSFW tagging was removed from his channel on February 24th. Done under the assistance of Bashy.I have to take this moment to make an apology to @bashy herself, since out of all the members of Minds staff, she seems to be the one good egg. And to Miss Bashy herself: I'm sorry if I caused any harassment to you due to my posts. My rage was pointed at those who seemed to be resting on their laurels and I never meant to toss you into that basket. I hope you can understand in my moment of passion, I had to shake a tree and see what fell out.On that same token: There is a theory we've come up with that Minds may have had a Behind-the-scenes discussion on my video and it's spreading protest to other users. I also have shown evidence of Bill Ottman commenting on my post, he reads everyone that @'s him.To Bill: Let's not kid each other and pretend you aren't aware of my expose video. I wasn't nice in it, but I needed to say what needed to be said. If you haven't watched it yet, you need to watch it now. I'm not saying what I did out of my own impotent rage, I said what I said due to my passion and consideration for the users left who don't want to move to twitter.While I'm happy that Salty is no longer Shadowbanned, I'm not going to rest until you make a video response. Bill, my advice to you, as cliche and cheesy as it is: The right thing isn't always the easiest. You have to do the right thing, and make a statement on the state of Minds. Even if there's gonna be greater fallout from it. Because that's what an honest, transparent, and principled man does.27 days, @ottman#mindsultimatum

       @ottman address the community properly. We don't want Minds to die. We want to help, but transparency comes first.
