This ‘article’ reads like someone’s poorly thought out twitter rant
EDIT
Everyone should know, after investigating this further it seems this user is on a two year crusade to smear this discord server for not having a moderators that spoke a random language. They joined while the server was brand new and harassed the only two mods because they required English on the discord for safety and moderation reasons (makes sense , right ?) And this is encouraged by discord of course since you can’t moderate a community you can’t understand. Despite being welcomed, this user started to harass the moderators for not allowing them to speak their naive language. Since they could not moderate that, they declined. As a result, this person is now trying to smear them online. If you want more details read the comment under the article it spells it all out in clear and detailed language.
The comment under the article claims that Discord’s suggestion of having language rules is a term of service. The one thing it’s based on is false. Just like your comment saying I’m on a two year (false) crusade (false). As I wrote in the previous article, I didn’t even think I knew Interstellar until they banned me for being antiracist a year ago. An event so unremarkable I forgot it immediately. There’s been no harassment of any kind either. What there has been is racist attempts by white supremacists to suppress australian languages in australian online communities. Since you ignored the point of the article and said it’s okay to silence indigenous languages if you have an excuse for doing it, I’m going to assume you either didn’t bother to read the article, or are Spark’s alt account.
So this person is going into a Discord with a moderator, speaking a different language to the one used in the discord, and then calling the mod a racist? Sorry man I’m with the mod on this one.
Yeah… especially after hearing the discord moderators response makes whoever wrote this article look particularly bad. I would almost say the article is boerline harassment to the poor discord server moderators who just want to create a space for Australians that they can moderate successfully and safely
Ah yes, but it was not just the request to speak English - the Australian oriented group also used an outline of Australia as the group icon. Now that’s how you know someone is truly a prominent racist/white supremacist and you should write a bunch of blog posts about how horrible they are…
Who or what are Interstellar and Sparks?
Ah, thanks for that. The story makes some kind of sense now.
