This is what I was getting at in mentioning the "nobody's job" problem earlier in thread. It crops up throughout fandom spaces where the Geek Social Fallacies rule. t.me/communityorganizing GSFTW has made itself representative of that problem. It's not that hard to solve, it just requires caring.

Chat with Aurora, a former GSFTW staffer and chat mod who just quit over the mismanagement. "Tried to help... It was undone by these actions... People gotta step down" (1/2)

GSFTW DJ coordinator Zade is demoted as mod in their locked chat, while it is being considered for deletion. Tippers had sent evidence that Zade's Twitter was a "cesspool" of alt-right hate, which appeared in previous reporting. Members posted the tip in GSFTW chat when it was open for protest.

Zade's demotion provoked him to openly post harassment towards me. Zade sourced it from debunked Furry Raiders/alt-right rumors spread in retaliation towards reporting. Actually I wasn't watching Zade's account. The public is. This is the quality of GSFTW's last support. bsky.app/profile/boxo...

GSFTW DJ Coordinator ZadeGShep believes disinformation about Patch O'Furr which was invented by the Furry Raiders and has been debunked for years. This may be why the GSFTW board were not initially concerned about the Dogpatch Press articles. archive.ph/iz9yS

The debunking was already linked in previous reporting. It discusses revenge-porn that leaked from a site run by GSFTW's chair. Allowing alt-right staff to perpetuate false and abusive disinformation to deflect criticism tells you the quality of GSFTW's management, and why they can not be reformed.

GSFTW's site is itself spreading false information right now. Guests who withdrew will no longer be part of the con and it hasn't been updated. "Everyone who pre-registers at this point is being mis-sold." bsky.app/profile/boxo...

Their site STILL hasn't been updated to remove the names of the GoH who have pulled out. They haven't even put anything out on social media clarifying it. Everyone who pre-registers at this point is being mis-sold.

Zade, the alt-right troll and GSFTW's DJ coordinator, is commiserating with his Furry Raider friends and threatening a waaaahsuit at me for accurate reporting. Guys, slow down, I already have enough of your humiliation to post about.

GSFTW's alt-right DJ coordinator claimed I could beg for crowdfunding if he does a waahsuit. He also pinned an appeal for help to take care of his pets. I guess if you help, it would pay his lawyer, if Saul Goodman would return his calls. It would have been easy for GSFTW to make better choices.

Point of the past few posts: GSFTW is run by and prefers to side with people who prefer lying by PR, suppression of protest, and retaliation by childish threats, instead of simply doing good management. bsky.app/profile/kimi...

What sucks is they specifically want to ruin the spaces which they are excluded from. So they do that be either being allowed in, or by having it shut down meaning no one gets in. Either way they end up 'winning'. But this is a travesty on all fronts, including leadership.

Today GSFTW purged dozens of their most vocal members from their chat while it's still on lockdown. The history is disabled to hide everything that happened. This also hides their chat rules, so the link is "not found". Suppression looks so good for Free Fur All 2.0.

GSFTW had to lose 50 members so far to try and suppress protest in a 500-member chat. Only a fraction of any chat will be the active ones. That is literally the definition of Decimated. "The Romans used decimation to quell riots, mutinies, and other uprisings."

GSFTW has reopened their chat after mass purging criticism. Anyone actively questioning them was removed, angry or not. Also applies to "The nsfw chat taking similar measures in banning anyone." There are reports of retaliatory flagging of Telegram accounts as spam. bsky.app/profile/razi...

I have since been banned from the nsfw gsftw chat as well, although this one may have been a bit more warranted I still disagree with admins silencing any and all concerns regarding the way things are run, seems to be a similar scorched earth policy across the board with multiple people being banned

Shy brought in a personal friend, Sotalo, who is currently doing massive text walls to absolve the broken leadership of GSFTW as not knowing anything about the problem people they were repeatedly warned about, lied about removing, invited back, and then had the con's official lies deleted.

Reminder that Dashing was warned by staff about his Furry Raiders friends in early 2020 as the con was being established, called it "politics," went on their podcast, spent years of inviting them back in, faced now 3 staff revolts over it, and is still crying innocence with Shy's support.
