Second person who got so mad at me banning their .art account (it's a known abuser with lots of receipts and I only found out who they were after approving the differently-named account) that they've threatened lawyers and thanked me for providing them with my name and email address.

I did just tell them they can wave their dick around all they like.

You'd think they wouldn't be interested in being a member of a community run by someone they want to sick a lawyer on, huh.

"suspended without due process"

The due process was me reading all the accusations, deciding I didn't feel comfortable with you in my community and felt that your presence would threaten the artists in said community that I have an obligation to protect, and so I suspended your account, and did you the courtesy of messaging you letting you know why.

That's the due process.

This happened with the last one too - like, okay, you're saying the things I banned you for are false, but now you're threatening me with lawyers and (in the case of the first one) doxxing and called me a nazi - so I still don't want you here? In *my* community?

Also: Because I promote .art as an inclusive place, that /must/ mean that I /have/ to let everybody in, apparently. Issue has been taken with the fact that I've said the server is inclusive, when clearly it's not, because I'm not accepting /them/ specifically.

>.>

Them: 'thanks for giving me your name and email address, something something case for defamation'
Me: Yeah I'm still waiting to hear from the last person who threatened lawyers after I blocked them from .art
Them: Don't be childish I didn't threaten any such thing

If you're on .social and looking to move, .art isn't limited to visual/traditional artists - we take anyone who follows creative pursuits; video, music, writing, interpretive dance, we have clowns! :D - game design; if it's creative, you're welcome here!

Oh dear, hellbirb accepted the offer - and indeed there is a large wave of evacuees happening XD

New user just put 'elon musk' in the 'reason for joining' field XD

I hear you, pal

Another sudden influx of users - has there been more birbsite news?

Ah, yep - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/24/technology/twitter-board-elon-musk.html

Brace! Brace!

Doggy beach walk (1/2)

Took Chewie for a walk. I made the same mistake as yesterday - it's cool enough in the house for trousers and a sweater, but outside it's still about 25C in the sun, oof. Anyway, we had a nice, albeit toasty, little walk ^.^

J playing Elden Ring:

"What is that and why is it throbbing"
"Nope nope nope"
"Oh god what the hell is that"
"I wonder will I die if... ... ... yep"
"I don't know what these are but I'm collecting them anyway"
"This is cool!"
"I'm dead"

We're getting a quote from a local solar company for a full suite of panels and a battery and installation and everything. It'll be roughly enough to power us through the day then for a few hours after the sun goes down, with maybe the occasional dip back onto the grid when needed.

Then we take that quote to the home loan people and they increase the loan to pay to the solar people to cover it.

@tagomago Yeah - but it's because of government corruption and mis-management. Happy fun times!

@tagomago look up South Africa Eskom Loadshedding :)

I'm drawing something with dragons :o

Sneaky preview #MastoArt

Finished the border ages ago, now I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for the power to come back on so I can do the calligraphy with my light table 😑

Here's a collection of some of the weird and wonderful marginalia I've found while looking through old illuminated manuscripts :D
