Hi Sam, here's the full transparency:
You spammed a group chat with 1k people with your own personal project and then, after being asked nicely to stop doing that you proceeded to insult various members of such group chat.
Both of which are against our community rules.
This is not what happened. Here are screenshots of the actual conversation leading up to my removal.
I didn’t insult anyone or spam the chat. I was providing value. As shown at the top, another member actually used what I shared and thanked me for it after I gave them a free identifier. Several others then expressed the same confusion I did about your harsh “no personal projects” statement, which proves my message was relevant and constructive.
Disagreeing with someone’s take on whether a “PR statement” was an apology is not an insult. Removing a paying member over a respectful discussion like that is censorship and the opposite of promoting open, civil discourse.
I’ve been transparent, attached evidence, and asked for fairness. If “lifetime membership” can be revoked without warning or valid cause, that damages the integrity of the platform and trust among Bitcoiners who believed this was a space for collaboration and free expression.
thanks for sharing the screenshots sam
fuck them entirely.
in the future: gently gently:
pay to play stuff? pay to be here?
avoid it
the ones who are willing are the worst
this is different entirely from paying for
a subscription to damus or primal cos you can afford it and actually really care about helping out.
i would rather be murdered, and i do actually mean it, than pay to be in a chat with other people who paid to be there.
