The thing is that he is clearly a very toxic person. On the macro level, his constant talk about how much Blurt sucks is toxic and negatively effects the platform. On the individual level people get wrapped up in the energy sucking arguments and pissing contests with him instead of get things done. Meanwhile he's acquired more enemies than anyone here by far. Then most sad thing is, on the level his own personal self, his toxicity has led him to being all but penniless in a foreign country. A very scary situation and I kind of feel bad for him in this regard. But it's his series of decisions that got him to where he is.
The only way I know how to get toxic people out of my life is to ignore and distance myself from them. It's just destructive vampire sucking energy, and it's best to get as far away from it as possible.
But I must say, he does often make some good points.....he's just off the charts antagonistic upon making them.
I agree I would call for collectively ignoring as I always have.
You are absolutely right 👍 The DH isn't worth it...
if you don't support speech you disagree with, you don't support free-speech
One can support the speech while acknowledging the poison of it and ready to re-act or even act preemptively upon that speech.
Supporting the right for someone to say that
as they lay at your feet a bloody shell of their former self because you supported their right to be a dumbass and tell you who they were and you acted to prevent their stated intent to cause you harm.
Free speech yes. But that does not mean one just ignores what is being said if it promises/produces harmful results.
Nor does supporting free speech mean one pretend to agree as that would infringe on ones own free speech/autonomy.
I saw nothing in the reply by WTP that was not supportive of lucylins free speech. His declaration was that he finds it toxic and is choosing to no longer allow it to be front and center in his area of attention. Free speech does not mean one has free reign to command anothers attention. It means they can say what they want and those who wish to hear it will, those who don't can shut them out.
We'll call that freedom to exclude as much agitation in ones life as one can. :)
anyway,
that's why the mute button was invented
can you imagine trying to "clean up" the entire internet ?
what kind of enforcement mechanism would you personally prefer ?
I don’t think anyone is saying to block him tho, we even stoood up for him in that regard I just wish ppl would stoP giving so much attention at the expense of growing the Site. Let’s collectively decide to stop from today.
i'm pretty sure magadrive was either blocking them from blurtwallet.com or seriously considering it
"because they upvote crappy posts"
in other words, "they don't spend their own money wisely enough"
Oh god are we still there I genuinely thought md had improved a lot lately and was beginning to look for some community concensus before acting. Tekraze seems the most unhinged and overly sensitive witness these days.

After thinking that time frame over.....I think we all witnessed a total meltdown. As I've said before some people are not cut out to handle and deal with such controversial personalities humiliating the shit out of them on a daily basis, and we got a total fucking meltdown. Then @jacobkadiaken who was emotionaly outside of the drama, yet pulling major weight as a founder, quickly put common sense to the forefront and the only change that happened was a more fair witness voting system.
Part of why I started a witness, is so I can help prevent blunders like this happening again going forward. While opening up a greater voice to the community in my survey style posts and more....
i'd like to see at least 4 witnesses in the top 20 that do practically nothing and simply ignore all proposals
Who needs the mute button when you have balls of steel! lol
i mean, sure, but what about all the precious snowflakes like magadrive ?
Does it offend you that some would prefer to mute than be trolled?
of course not
i wish magadrive would just mute lucylin and forget about it
that's what the mute function is designed for
I support his freedom to speak whatever he wants, and I also support my freedom to say what's coming out of his mouth is absolutely toxic to not only the platform and the people on it, but especially himself.
