I'm quite open about being Drone Rights. I've never hidden it. Some people have tried to gotcha with "you're drone rights", and I said "yes... That's obvious. I even moderate the community from this account." But there's another person who is closeted about their gender and has been accused of being me by an instance admin who claims to have access to secret logs that say we're the same person. Given that I have faced massive amounts of harassment, abuse, and transphobia for being openly dronegender, and they are not open about their gender, you can see how I would not want them to be exposed to people like you.

I told you they did a bad job doxxing me. You didn't fact check shit. You just tried to take a peek at someone else's private information. There are privacy-respecting methods of fact checking that would actually work in this situation, and you didn't use them.

RE: my other comment

Also, if I'm understanding the situation correctly, you heard that I got doxxed, went to go look for my private information, got upset when you couldn't find it, and yelled at me about it? Why's it so precious for you to want my private information? What's with this harassment?

Hey, so is abuse of the modlog by admins and mods on remote instances going to lead to defederation?

I wouldn't have made a public comment about the issue if the db0 admin had done a good enough job at it that you'd be able to look it up. Then I'd be the one doing the doxxing, what with the Streisand effect. I told you the db0 admin did a bad job. But jumping straight to accusations of lying just because you didn't pay attention? What's your grudge against me?

"I don't have to worry about my financials or working a job, and all I have to do is marry a horrible man and accept the possibility of spousal rape", said the woman who doesn't yet understand how bad rape is.

Mass Effect is one of those sci-fi series with only one fictional technology, and a whole lot of development on that, and on the stories that enables them to tell. And that fictional technology is the mass effect. In Mass Effect there's a fictional element called element 0, or eezo, that humans found out in space. Eezo can alter the mass of other objects when electrically stimulated. Eezo can give a spaceship negative mass and enable faster than light travel. It can reduce the mass of a bullet to almost zero as it's fired from the chamber of a gun, and return it to normal going at an extreme speed. It enables artificial gravity. Humans who are exposed to eezo can gain telekinetic powers. There's a community of aliens out there, and they also use eezo in their technology. There's a ton of politics, philosophical commentary, and secrets out in the galactic community and its history.

I disagree. The bad reviews and refunds produced, effectively, a single bad week for the company, while getting the publisher to backtrack on a decision that would have slowly but surely killed both the game and the company. Spitz saved Arrowhead. Unfortunately, instead of capitalising on the cooperation between developers and players to win back their reputations and make the game profitable again, Arrowhead decided to throw away Spitz' hard work by firing him, ruining their reputation just after he saved it for them. Now they're fucked.

The way I see it, their only chance to return to profitability is for them to explain that Spitz was fired for his earlier comments mocking players for complaining about PSN. If they did that, the players would return to Arrowhead's side. But if the narrative that he was fired for sticking with the players and saving the company prevails, then Arrowhead is doomed.
