You never had a standard for accepting evidence? Why did you even ask then?

You asked for evidence.

List out the evidence you accept.

The post looks like spam pushing Viraly and SocialBee referral links.

The content of it is misleading too, as it has almost nothing to do with web3 platforms whatsoever

Yeah, the whole group seems obsessively litigious. The founder Alexander Rhodes sued his own mother for criticizing his community’s extremist elements.

I stumbled upon a massive blog with several pages devoted to attacking one of the scientists who’s the target of this lawsuit. It spends thousands of words, paired with obsessive screenshots and photos of Cease and Desist orders, claiming the woman is actually the bad one, and repeatedly insisting she’s an industry plant. Wild claims link to more wild claims.

“High-strung” is putting it nicely.

Among these were Prause’s [scientist] past encounters with Rhodes [NoFap guy], which included the 2019 lawsuit, and Prause accusing Rhodes of attempted murder.

What?

I looked at the lawsuit. Keep in mind that this is the evidence presented by the NoFap guy, which never mentions whether he posted Nicole Prause’s address anywhere, but the information looks pretty damning.

Since the Prior Litigation concluded, Defendant Prause has continued to make the defamatory and absurd claim that Plaintiff Rhodes attempted to murder her. For example, on December 28, 2021, Defendant Prause posted on her @NicoleRPrause Twitter account that

“after Wilson posted my physical address I was sexually assaulted outside of my laboratory. We later found out one of his followers had flown to Los Angeles that weekend with a gun intending to [‘]confront[’] me.”

On April 03, 2022, Defendant Prause posted to her @NicoleRPrause Twitter account:

“When I heard an anti-porn activist flew across the country with a gun & body camera in his luggage to [‘]confront[‘] me and film it, our gun laws did not stop him.”

In another section, a journalist is quoted. I think he messaged NoFap guy asking about this prior doxxing.

“Prause’s biggest concern is the posting of addresses where she may physically be, regardless of your dispute over whether it’s a “residential” address or not. What was the purpose of you posting her possible location? Do you plan on doing it again in the future?” and “What conditions would it take for you to cease your public documentation of Prause’s activities and claims that she is an alleged ‘industry shill’ who commits ‘false science’?"

The lawsuit continues, without pushing back on these questions.

So how about the Rationalists? They are a cultlike group with a charismatic founder (Eli Yudkowsky), despite the founder’s well-documented proximity to rampant sexual abuse, and even a group of his followers committing acts of violence in line with his ideology.

Would you consider at least this group to be a cult, and worthy of condemnation?

This is a funny mistake to make, but after looking around on their website, I have genuinely no idea what group to attribute the project to. There’s no name in the privacy disclaimer. You can attribute it to the people that developed it, but that seems almost tautological… And perhaps, if they’re privacy enthusiasts too, they’d rather not be named and attributed to a location.

If I wasn’t aware of GitHub let alone its alternatives, I’d assume Codeberg was the group responsible for the project too. It’s mentioned on every page footer, after all

I guess Reddit has weird niche communities for everything. Facedeer’s official Lemmy profile points to a Reddit profile with comments all over “defendingAIart”, “AIwar”, “accelerate,” and a bunch of other vehemently pro-AI places.

I see you spend all your time on Reddit, evangelizing big AI and tech corporations… So can you give us a hint what you think the actual problem is?

Messages between two people are not exposed via public APIs, but they can be accessed by admins of 1-2 servers (depending on whether you’re sending these messages to someone on a different server).

Element fixes Lemmy’s message content exposure problem, but none of the metadata problems (who is communicating with whom, when, how often, etc, are all still available to those 1-2 sets of server admins).
