If doormen come to the pub drunk; push, shove, and insult the live entertainment all while ensuring the seats remain empty... usually they're the ones who have to go.

I always thought that was common sense for some reason.

It seems like common sense!

What I hate when things like that happen is the way people turn away in case they get affected. In some cases they even make mealy mouthed comments about how you actually do well anyway or its just the way it is. The whole point is that it shouldn't be. Too many people with high stake don't do enough when there are bad apples also with a high stake displaying bad behaviour.

how you actually do well anyway or its just the way it is.

Being able to do well means having the drive to wake up and make each day better than the previous. In that sense there's a huge difference between obstacles and interference. On my end it felt like sabotage and it was depressing when a couple folks turned on me for shedding light on the situation. Made a fool out of myself trying to stand up for others, and when I did some made it all about me, clearly demonstrating the message was lost.

I went down a few rabbit holes, looking for who all got dismantled while I was away (on a vacation I had planned regardless of the situation here, long before shit hit the fan) and saw blocktrades admit there's a problem under some cryptofinally character's final shit-show.

Yeah, I saw that sorry shit show too. I think that was one of the worst episodes for this place. What we showed the world that a girl can be abused in such a way on an online platform and instead of anyone with stake defending her they all just piled on and defended the guy who was calling her a vile cunt among other things.

I was never a huge fan of those influencer types but to hound someone like that. It was fucking shameful.

And the trans man, his behaviour was too. The thing I hate the worst, is that if it is someone with a small stake behaving like such a bellend they usually get stamped on quickly but if you have half a mill HP or higher, everyone just looks the other way and of you say anything about it, you get attacked as well.

I'm not a fan of her approach either, never was. That was disgusting though. It became fashionable to bash someone so people felt safe taking a swing. It's as ugly as those fights on the street where one guy drops another, then a gang jumps on and starts kicking... then everyone runs away talking about, "Oh my god that was awesome man!" Primal instinct.

Heiditravels was pushed out by the same but she didn't make a scene. Quite a few others. I've been watching for awhile; years. Classic case of bullying and cancel culture is what it is.

It is, there have been quite a few ladies who bhave suffered quite badly from it. Bad stuff.

Ah, at least it's the weekend and that means beer :0)

It is bad; but it's good talking to you, man. If not for the levelheaded folk around here, there's nothing left.

I wonder if I have any beer left...

I've seen some disgusting things here, and the CryptoFinally incident was truly mindblowing. Ugly. Sure, she shamelessly capitalizes on "sex sells" while having a predominantly male target audience... that still not an excuse.

But then again (just to throw a different stereotype into the mix) this same kind of shit used to go down in the early days of the Internet, itself. You might remember that the hardcore nerds of the mid to late 1990s used to come abusively unglued every time they encountered something that not only had a vagina, but also a brain, was tech savvy and was hot, to boot. Reason for immediate stamping out!

We really haven't come very far...

Bingo! There is a huge difference. And when you're a tiny account simply trying to post authentically honest content, you end up as a smear on the sidewalk if you "dare" to comment on something that is obviously wrong.

What's mildly ironic about this is that we have all this jargon about decentralization being a great equalizer, and yet we sit here with a handful of oligarchs with the power to control the numerical majority's experience.
