you never know though. you, reader, might find people like you.
everyone likes me, that's just science and common sense

t/s: finding out people are talking shit about me on the slack vs. finding out no one has ever bothered to talk shit about me on the slack

thanks for your post on the “fuck this site” thread gyac, I found it illuminating. I hope your husband recovers swiftly and for fucks sake let’s be good to each other, this is the only social site I can stand and you’re all fascinating people with taste (good or otherwise).

There is one channel on the slack where some of the members including me complain and laugh and take the piss out of ilx posters and posts that grind our gearsGod knows how many other places on the internet or in real life people do same
God knows how many other places on the internet or in real life people do same
i would hope that the number of people who post on a message board dedicated to privately complaining about posts on another plain-text message board (which itself contains multiple threads and entire boards dedicated to such) is small. also hope that they seek help
― flopson, Sunday, 13 March 2022 18:24 (two years ago) link
There's another message board for that.

you should close the archives though, especially if, for instance, on that thread you are clowning about that person using information not derived from ilx but from more private areas of the internet

i'm not actually mad, and i know it is self-absorbed to search yourself on there, but my god

I am a shocking gossip irl but this isn't rl so I've never done it on here.
― Alfred Ndwego of Kenya (Tom D.), Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:33 (two years ago) link
after searching myself like the narcissist i am the only thing i had a problem with is people talking about my personal life using information gleaned from my private instagram. i already knew they thought i was tedious and posted like i was on a "rumspringa." that is so whatever -- but don't bring my family into it. i'm not trying to be obnoxious, but really i think it would be best if the ilx sniping thread on slack was made private.

people can have their burn book but don't leave it open. it's a matter of etiquette.
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:39 (two years ago) link
it's not dedicated to privately complaining about ilx posts ... unless all of the conversations about gardening and cats is really a very secret complex code that is only available to an elite few. It sucks that people have that impression. The ratio of meta complaining is probably smaller than on ilx itself.
― sarahell, Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:40 (two years ago) link
There is nowhere dedicated to complaining about ilx but there is a slack that was formed at the start of the pandemic by ilxors. There is also a discord and a private Facebook group just called ILX; I know of one Facebook messenger chat but there may be others; bitd there were aim chatz aiui; there are also FAPs and DMs and probably dozens of other ilx related backchannels In every single one of these a small percentage of time will be spent talking about the message board ppl have in common, which posters you like & which send you up the wall (it’s almost never unanimous) This is not really the issue
a specific ilxor decided to act out a grudge against another ilxor by repeatedly drawing negative attention to the slack in such a way that a third ilxor (entirely unrelated to the beef in question) was drawn to look and got badly hurtthe specific ilxor exactly wanted something like this to happen and didn't give a tiny fvck abt the consequences to many others (including the third ilxor)
― wins, Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:42 (two years ago) link
there are several issues
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:45 (two years ago) link
I would not conflate the ILX Slack that is named "ILX" with the numerous private channels of communication out there.
― aegis philbin (crüt), Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:46 (two years ago) link
i think i only noticed a few of the "negative attention" posts and probably wasn't reading the threads that formed the pattern for this ... but I remembered the slack being started as a "stay sane during covid" thing, and I never thought of it as a secret borad, probably because i haven't been paying attention?

it just is not a knitting club for people to sit around and discuss their feelings in a private safe space
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:48 (two years ago) link
it is a public forum that is easily accessible and everyone knows about
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:50 (two years ago) link
i mean, whatever.
Where do you Slack champions find the time to not only write a ton of posts but also write on the other's posters ton of posts? The absolute misery of this is astounding. It's just pitiful at this point.

Blimey, you think you know ILX.....

a public not secret board you need a private address and password to access but an otherwise normal place for everyone
― Clay, Sunday, 13 March 2022 19:53 (two years ago) link
Well ito the non “locked down” nature of the slack there is sort of a comedy of errors aspect there in that normally slack messages disappear after a certain point so everyone was posting on the understanding that this was all ephemeral, and it just so happened that this latest fuckery took place during a 1-month free trial of slack premium, literally the only time the archives will be searchable ppl also, I think understandably, were posting with the assumption that after 2 years anyone who wanted to take part would have joined and nobody would be cunty enough to repeatedly draw their attention to itSo I don’t think it’s that different to the many other channels where ppl are talking about ppl

same to you, man
it appears I was to blame for the aforementioned instagram screenshot snafu. I don't know if I thought it was a public account or I was just being inconsiderate. either way, that was inappropriate and I apologize.
― mh, Sunday, 13 March 2022 20:47 (two years ago) link
ok, thank you for apologizing. maybe not a big deal, it just felt invasive reading that in the archives.
