sealion.club was originally a site documenting GamerGate happenings in early 2015.
When I started seeing Twitter ban groups of people at once, I re-appropriated it into a GNU Social instance sometime in July 2015. It puttered along for about six months on a Digital Ocean droplet until it crashed. So I rebuilt it on a bigger droplet. And Twexit happened. So it crashed. @fl0wn got pulled aboard and did stuff beyond the LAMP stuff I knew to do and got it to where it was functional but I moved it to another VPS provider, but we exceeded their limits, so now we're here.
freezepeach.xyz was spun up shortly after sealion.club in order to document and do screenshots for a tutorial to help people build their own instances. I planned on just letting it go, but a couple of months into it, just letting it sit dormant, people getting kicked off the quitters found it somehow and built their own little community there. So I just let it come along for the ride with sealion.club
As people who whine about the names point out, the names ARE meant to incite. It's not representative of the people on it. But it is a sort of "revenge"; people took normal behavior and desires (asking questions, wanting free expression) and tried to slur them with names. I took these names back from them and wear them as a badge.
or i'm a nazi and i did all this because apparently that's what nazis do; rabidly support free speech and expression for all people, period
