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.

Here's how Shy's personal friend Sotalo wants to "fix" GSFTW with more lies. Recall that the con's resigned head of PR said they were lied to and not informed about Fox News, and the cameras were escorted by board as they did lengthy interviews that were boasted about on kiwifarms.

Here's Sotalo (from Florida, not NJ) entering the purged GSFTW chat, and announcing "don't lie" before proceeding to do just that, using soft language to absolve the offenders. Saying "I'm here to help" and asking for feedback is a ploy to play Good Cop about the bans before launching walls of text.

Sotalo from Florida pretends to listen to NJ furs, while doing the opposite and calling public protest about the evidence "a horde of liars". Sotalo cites bans on "politics" as a credit to management, ignoring the twisted way it was used to protect nazifurs by labeling complaints as politics.

Wall of text excuses didn't work for their last attempt at an official statement, but the same tactic is back more aggressively from Sotalo in Florida. This ignores how Dashing, the board, and GSFTW chat admins dismissed evidence as "politics" and welcomed banned people back. A Gish Gallop of lies.

More of the same. The tactic here is relentless firehose of excuses. "until Fox News showed up, he (Dashing) only ever saw people as friends" - after being repeatedly warned about his friends.

"Sorry not sorry but if anyone needs to start "learning to trust each other", it's the board." Sotalo is floundering in a sea of excuses. Saying "NO MORE LIES" is admitting that con management repeatedly lied to it's own staff, paying members, and the public. Yet you're wrong for not trusting again.

Once again Sotalo is pushing the mismanagement excuse that protest about nazifurs was about "personal problems" and not a serious security threat

Sotalo should apply to be press secretary for Trump. Remember the revolving door of people like Sean Spicer who were paid to stand in front of cameras and describe what they were doing as "alternative facts?" bsky.app/profile/boxo...

Florida? Dude why do so many of the people involved with this New Jersey con live nowhere near New Jersey?

The locals just saw it happen with our own eyes. We don't need a random, uninvolved Floridian telling us what we didn't see. Sowing hate and discontent is why people are fleeing from Shy. He repeatedly invites hateful people, lets them run rampant, and refuses to remove them. We've had enough.

Sotalo's initial firehose of excuses is going dry. "Answer for this" "Two things wrong here: Getting mighty silent about this All the text wall excuses that just happened"

GSFTW management and chat mods taking hit after hit for lying about problematic friends, falling back to excuses about procedure for banning, then being questioned about why they inconsistently favored their friends who were unbanned.

GSFTW management can not be reformed. bsky.app/profile/zero...

Shy stepped into a difficult spot, lol. While he was doing this, myself and other NJ moderators were practically screaming at him as to why he decided to get involved with Dashing (again, they knew full well of the issues). Met with silence or "playing dumb", as per usual. Same old game.
