Yeah pretty happy. Though of course all the still-unbanned usual suspects who are constantly stirring up stuff in the complaint threads are doing that again. They really have no different material and keep posting the same stuff again lmfao

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 9h

To be fair I've seen quite a few already removed cause they threw such big fits. So there's that.

This is a great post. Reassuring to see some of the points I made in that initial thread echoed in this one. Definitely worth a read for those on the fence considering what happened to see the steps they're making to improve for the future.

well i just got a reply from RAdmin regarding a person i reported directly saying they got banned. and sure enough they are gone, so it's very slow going but the important thing is people are getting banned for this stuff.

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 2d

you got your Roman numerals mixed up there, this is XIV lol

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 3d

Of course. I'm a firm believer that if you're gonna make judgments on things have the full picture. There's been a lot of misinformation going around, and not even due to malice. Just because older outdated posts are going around, so getting the most up-to-date details is key really.

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 3d

For anyone that only heard about the RA stuff from here and doesn't have the full picture, this thread lays it all out nicely and succinctly. Stuff is being done, it's not as hopeless and fucked up as it seems. And further action was taken even as this was being written so they're still doing things

i keep comparing it to how your phone keyboard tries to predict the next words you want to say via suggestions but on a bigger scale cause that's really all it is lmao

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 3d

I've been keeping an eye on threads and comments and the discord. Users being referred to whose accounts no longer exist on the site, people booted from the discord. Like I'm literally seeing it happen lol

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 3d

oh theyve banned a lot of assholes for bigotry over the past 2 days. this is a stance they are sticking to.

Oh I have one of those fancy Scarlet/Violet SHINY KORAIDON/MIRAIDON codes that I don't need because I don't play POKEMON, so if anyone wants it uhhhh

I guess FOLLOW and REPOST and I'll send it to someone in like a week or so. Or go to GameStop and get one, idk

You'd think it would be that easy, and it really should be. But I am seeing bans. I am seeing timeouts. And people are realizing this is not a community for them if they're gonna keep getting bopped like this, which is like... good riddance.

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 4d

Harsher punishments are being discussed as the argument keeps popping up I've seen. And people are being banned from speaking up on the now-renamed comments thread for the hack. Like there is work being done to remove these chuds, it's just going slow.

i'm giggling at the guy who's like "i stopped pledging on patreon because that EVIL bluesky is the reason"

like bye i guess

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 4d

I appreciate the work y'all are doing regarding this :3

Taylor Lyndis @mirby.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah that game wall is still going and still has some reprehensible stuff in it. But I'm also noticing references to accounts I'm assuming y'all bopped for content.

It's like the world's worst case of whack a mole because the moles keep staying up.

one basically just told you to go fuck yourself so really they aren't subtle (don't think they're capable of it)

but they really should, if they're gonna just act like this and attack people now
