Yeah, it was actually more than that, I ended up deleting a bunch afterward. So embarrassing...

TBH, I suspect that tweet was just one epic misstep from the "rope dancer" that finally pushed things into reportable territory. There's no shortage of potential reporters gunning for AilliA's account on twitter, like the scammers she's labelled as such on XmrBazaar. For example, this guy even advertised social media ban services: https://themeritocrat.substack.com/p/not-your-keys-not-yours-period. And I labeled him as a scammer on bazaar ~ 1.5 months ago... well, at least it took them a while to get me...

I've also heard whispers of other reasons ppl might want to hit back with revenge reports on twitter: AilliA isn't exactly a saint, as you know... ;))

So yeah, it turns out trying your best to be a "good human" online can rile people up even more than just being an outright asshole or scammer. Clearly a flawed survival strategy in the wild west of the internet :))

even if it was more, don't be embarrassed—you were just emotionally triggered, then later came to see it, and wanted to correct it. that's just... human, and it's rather that the algorithm isn't in tune with human behavior. BTW, ancient instincts are very healthy ;)

not being a saint? hmm, I have no idea what you're talking about, at all ;)) I did suspect that those people would try to strike back at you, but not that they would be successful. so yeah, maybe it was a combination of factors.

the way I see, it's rather that large centralized platforms can create weird incentives... plus assholes and scammers hurt everyone, so the damage is dispersed. on the other hand, a "good human" is a danger only to the asshole minority, who are quite good at self-preservation and teaming up against threats...

lol, it's basic probability: the more games you're playing (simultaneously!), the higher the chance to lose at least once ;)

My world keeps trying to prove that they are not a minority... + cats are not particularly good at teaming up too :)

you're right, it's compound risk.

maybe, in a way, they're not a minority... deep down it's there in most people, way easy to trigger. but all we need is a few nifty, dedicated cats to outsmart them ;)
