I have no idea I’m not the boss of slack

I guess it doesn’t matter. Whatever. I wish everyone well.

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.
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 20:52 (two years ago) link
should i feel guilty for commenting on the memetic nature of treesh's dog?
― sarahell, Sunday, 13 March 2022 21:11 (two years ago) link
i didn't see anything about that in the slack
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 21:14 (two years ago) link
also depends on context. like in this comment thread people were very clearly making fun of me while prying on developments in my personal life. it wasn't just like "oh so and so is _______, good for him" or whatever.
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 21:15 (two years ago) link
like whatever. water and bridge.
i realize too it is some kind of mistake that these archives were let loose.
so whatever.
i like the new beach house album by the way. just to bring this website back to its roots.
― treeship., Sunday, 13 March 2022 21:20 (two years ago) link
treesh, where'd you find the Slack link?
Otherwise, just post the derogatory comments from that thread here.

i don't know what "KM is the real problem for starting this" is that supposed to do for the people who are going into chat and finding these things, or people who are worried about what's been said about them. the channel still contains what it contains. if this was truly a public server that anyone could've joined then what's happening now would've happened eventually. not trying to drag this on longer it just sounds like such a deflection when people are being hurt by this
― ✖, Sunday, 13 March 2022 21:28 (two years ago) link
Why would it have happened eventually? Like if the argument is “someone else would have pointed ppl towards stuff they might find hurtful out of malice” it would be on that someone else

I am going to pass the buck (sorry for American) to site mods and tell everyone posting about this slack issue to move that conversation to this ILE thread:
Call out ILXors you don't enjoy to their face right here then, come on, let's have it
I have limited mod powers and can't delete posts to this thread. I also don't want to potentially abuse my lowly subboard mod authority by being overly punitive to what some ilxors might feel is an okay discussion.
My mod powers do allow me to threadban posters from this thread ... so anyone seriously posting about the slack / off-board criticism of other ilxors on this thread will get a yellow card and then a thread ban
I am also posting as me for the sake of transparency and seriousness

So basically it’s morally fine to have a secret club where you go through people’s private lives and sneer about them, the only person who is bad is the person who points out you’re doing it. Great, good to know. You fucking people.

Never secret except that lots of regular posters had never been told about it.

not for lack of trying!
― thinkmanship (sleeve), Sunday, 13 March 2022 22:36 (two years ago) link
And I’m sure the fact that you knew those people didn’t know about it gave you the freedom to shit on them, so forget your “not a secret” bullshit.

Quarantine Hangouts
Neanderthal was actually a slack member and could have posted there at any time, FYI
― thinkmanship (sleeve), Sunday, 13 March 2022 22:37 (two years ago) link
it is actually pretty spot on ilx for people to inverse how strong their opinions are with how little they know about a topic.

just to be clear -- the yellow cards are for continuing to post about something in this thread that the mod (me) had posted not to do. The yellow cards were not inflammatory, just like "hey, chill, take the discussion to ILE" ... I also thread banned Sufjan Grafton last night after a series of posts on the same topic that seemed to be not going to a good place.
If anyone wants to critique my moderation please do so here
― sexy hoss pics (sarahell), Monday, 14 March 2022 01:09 (two years ago) link
Sounds eminently reasonable to me. I mean, yellow cards are more often used for the lols, so actually using them for a proper purpose is good modding imo.
― emil.y, Monday, 14 March 2022 01:14 (two years ago) link
this is like the first time i haven't just modded lol posts for lols so ... i'm kinda insecure?
― sexy hoss pics (sarahell), Monday, 14 March 2022 01:22 (two years ago) link
It's a pretty stressful situation atm but you've handled it well. Nothing wrong with asking people to move over to one of the main boards if you're not comfortable with the discussion being here. I'm fucking terrified every time I do anything mod-like, honestly.
― emil.y, Monday, 14 March 2022 01:26 (two years ago) link
you did good today too emil.y!!!

what are you upset about Christine?

I hate seeing this whole place torn apart like this.
― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Monday, 14 March 2022 05:55 (two years ago) link
Why is there a Slack? Why was there AIM chatz? Why was (is?) there a Facebook group?
What is wrong with the actual board we're all on? I feel like I almost dont belong here despite being here 20 years because in all that time, I've found out about off-board boards only after the fact (when they blow up like this has) or, in the case of the initial 77 board activity, when I had IRL friends not remotely associated with ILX asking me who X and Y people from here were, because they were writing disparaging comments about me under said non-ILX friend's flickr photos.
I never did find out who did that.
Anyhoo. None of this feels new I suppose.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 14 March 2022 06:15 (two years ago) link
I get u Trayce. I'm not really interested in going to a separate ilx place, but it makes me feel like I'm not really getting the full picture of anything here, like I'm missing out on the real networking being done by the people in the smoking area. I don't begrudge anyone it of course but also accept that I'll have a different relationship to this place than others. it's ok, I'll stick to the tv threads.
― kinder, Monday, 14 March 2022 08:38 (two years ago) link
Yah my TV and gaming buddies here are good peeps, it'll do me.

I haven’t posted regularly on ILX in years. Tbh it’s blocked at work and I get overwhelmed when I visit as if I don’t even know where to start again. The slack - which was begun during the first lockdown more as a rapid chat forum seemed smaller and more manageable for me so I have been posting there sporadically. There are several channels many of which are similar to those here. There’s a general one and a cooking one for instance. There was one channel that was for ILX discussions that some people posted in. This idea that the slack exists to plan coordinated bullying attacks is incorrect and pretty nuts and I just want to make that really clear.
