       so I was reading through a long thread just now re: mstdn.ca. realized there were a ton of responses missing.opened it in my browser to get the context, and OH LOOK! a boatload of accounts I had muted a loooooong time ago absolutely treating Chad like a convicted criminal, advising everybody to jump ship IMMEDIATELY, calling him ugly names."innocent until proven guilty" apparently stops being a thing when you've got your conclusion already formed. wow.

       @robyn i was surprised by the volume of immediate personal stuff that was lobbed. Also, the, uh, legal situation is often not being described accurately (he hasn’t been arrested or even charged with criminal activity). Personally, I’m neutral on Chad: I’ve had no bad experiences but I can’t say I have cherished or special feelings toward those interactions either. The situation is yikes though. I totally get the people scrambling to leave mstdn.ca given the situation.

       @linux_mclinuxface Oh the situation is very yikes, no doubt. Can definitely see people going, oh well, today is as good a day as any to look for a new instance! But there is 1000% a way (multiple, actually) to deal with this that isn't: immediately resorting to ad hominems, dragging an entire race into this (!? lmao), and presenting the situation as if he was already in handcuffs, convicted in a court of law.And what some of these folks are doing definitely ain't that.

       everybody is free to come and go on the fediverse as they please, which is part of the beauty of it.but to treat allegations as fact and also as a criminal conviction, AND using your "fedi clout" to rile people up against the admin is..... I don't know. ugly.
