A message especially for my Canadian male followers out there today, but it applies to all.
If you see a story from a woman calling out the behaviour of a man, believe them. Yes, believe them over the 'bro’, especially when there are multiple corroborating stories.
Don’t feign impartiality.
Don't ignore.
Just believe them, it's not that hard.
It's long past time we do this as the default.
It will make us all better in the long run.That is all.
Going to my first counter-protest against a transphobic group a few years ago opened my eyes to this. It's good to want to be fair and impartial, but a problem arises when you never get to experience the other side of the story, because it's never directed towards you. Once you feel fury directed at yourself because people think you're a member of the group they are targeting, then you really understand what "privilege" means. We can't let people be broken before believing them.

And if you're wondering, yes, this is a post about Mr. Ohman.

@alessandro indeed. the rule applies in many many cases across our society. I believe the push back to progress that we are seeing is a direct result of many of those higher-forces seeing their expectations and assumptions about how they can control the world crumble. And that's a good thing for equality, and for all of us to live in a freer and fairer world. But it takes those of us in the privileged group to be willing to first realize our own privilege and then learn how to recalibrate our own stances and statements.

@javensbukan @tezoatlipoca @chris This is what Chad pulled on Ms Que Banh
Ms. Que Banh (@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party)
Chad was the wankerbutternoodle Mstdn.ca owner who had called the cops on me for some past political posts. It was using cop violence on POC. The cops showed up & left fast, because it was all BS. It traumatized my Mom & enraged me. The cowardly liar then denied it when I posted about it all. A bunch of white folks supported him & didn't believe me. I knew #karma would catch up with that liar, sooner or later. Now, it has. Cops will be coming after him, for a real crime. I told you all that Chad was a dirty, lying weasel. Maybe, believe me instead of the white guy, next time 🤡 https://toot.cat/@catzilla/116267551374750231 #Criminal #Fraud #Canadian #Alberta #Liar #ToldYouSo #ConMan

@Lazarou @tezoatlipoca @chris That's gross. Do we have any examples of what these posts were that caused this to happen?
I could *potentially* understand if these were posts that were threatning violence on specific people or targets - I can't really make my own mind up on something with the generalities of the post - but if true that's seriously icky.

@javensbukan @tezoatlipoca @chris he just sounds like another entitled white dude who thinks he is the Police, a problem on the Fediverse and in FOSS in general.
And then there's the charity funds thing.... -

@Lazarou @tezoatlipoca @chris It was the biggest thing.
But there has been multiple reports from multiple people about his... hmm.. how can I say this. Let's say... red flags about his character and judgment.
