chester (npub1583…ttkt) ⚸ยℓเtђ (npub1wn6…v0rw) I find it obvious that the entire reason for this who debacle is because someone–either rae or someone else–has a wounded ego. You say time and time again that I'm somehow endangering people, yet you never provide a good reason as to why.

If you were really trying to be a community leader you'd try to make a difference, you'd try to help this community evolve. Instead all you care about is keeping everyone miserable on social media. And every time someone suggests the opposite, whether its me or Ananke or anyone else, it threatens that.

I still don't understand how the magazine could possibly be dangerous at all. You say you're trying to "protect" your community by censoring everyone you think is dangerous, well how is that any different than the way that adults try to "protect" youth by keeping them segregated from "predators"?

You claim IRL meetups are extremely dangerous, yet I have never once encountered any danger to them, despite having met *dozens* of people from pedi, tumblr, bsky, and more. Tell me, how can you say it is dangerous when I, someone who has been doxxed for years and has been targeted multiple times by antis, have done all that and not even come close to being hurt once?

Your claim simply makes no sense. It's a risk, yes, but the chance of danger is so inconsequentially low. My life has changed for the better in so many ways because of having IRL community. I've seen it for myself and everyone that I've met face-to-face. I've watched their lives change for the better, and I've watched them become inspired and say the same thing. Now that they know how important it is, they know that the risk is one well worth taking.

I'm trying to do something good. Our community can't stay online forever. If you believe in MAP rights, if you want a world where we can all have acceptance, then you know we can't stay online too. Tell me, what do you see for the future of this community? Because as someone who's in a leadership position, you have the power to affect that. You can either keep people where it's "safe", and drive this community to loneliness. Or you can learn to take a risk and stop making that decision for everyone else.

If I didn't know any better I'd say this is fed behavior. Like you're intentionally trying to keep this movement from going anywhere. In any case the outcome is indistinguishable. Real leaders don't feel the need to censor the people who are supposed to be their allies. Not once have you ever tried to understand my point of view, not once have you ever listened to any of my friends who believe in the same cause of me. At every turn you ignore it. I can't possibly think of any reason that actually makes sense, other than the fact that if people go offline then they won't need pedi anymore, and that that scares pedi's "leaders".

I'm tired of having this argument with you, its been on and off for so fucking long. I would love to actually be able to have a discussion with you about this and see why you think the things that you do. Because they make no sense to me and therefore I have to jump to whatever conclusion makes the most sense.
