Hear ye hear ye. This has already been mentioned but I'm repeating the PSA:

Our escape pod has (an) impostor(s). Last night one pretended to be epicpillowcase and attacked Hongohones. Another pretended to be MissDarylC.

Please remain vigilant for anyone sus. If in doubt, contact the original crewmate on reddit to verify identity.

God… imagine having so much free time on your hands that you’d go out of your way to impersonate someone online in a casual space like the DT. Holy fuck that’s low.

[-] dumblederp@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

I suspect it's paid time. I reckon there's active online campaigns looking to sow dissent among friendly communities.

[-] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Somehow I feel that’s even worse. Like, if it’s someone local then seriously, what the hell. If it’s Reddit related then how bloody scared are they? And if it’s Russians or someone then… like, surely the Melb DT is so small that it wouldn’t be worth it. Crazy. Utterly crazy.

Could be a terf, they hate it when trans women have better outcomes than they. Glad we can all agree this is no place for any of it. Transphobia is one thing, but impersonating someone to insult thier friend by being transphobic is quite low. Terfs do run active campaigns to target trans people on social media. But more likely it's a troll from the DT who knows we often had discourse over there and don't like either of us.

I thought it was them and took it as a joke, but they assured me they'd never make a bigot joke sarcastically in the first place. Which is nice!

All in all, it made epic and I closer mates discussing it so there was a positive outcome from it.

Their brains must be a bad place

[-] jaybb3rw0cky@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Using their brains for evil. The world definitely needs less of them.

[-] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago

I think Bacon is sus. Blow ‘em out the airlock. But no joke, is it worth someone sending messages to those who still have the reddit accounts to “verify” that we then have to DM on here to confirm identity.

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago

I suppose we only say that to people being out of character. Like if I stop serving breakfast.

[-] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Or if you’re in the kitchen and suddenly someone turns off the lights.

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

i'll transform into a bat

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

A lot of what you've said is contingent upon tomorrows' breakfast.

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

I will serve breakfast tomorrow.

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Whilst the brekky here is impressive, it is no match. There is no equal.

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

We are flattered.

[-] ShibbyUp@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

That's so fucking weird

[-] RosaliePreistley@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks Bacon! This little community is better than reddit, we're kinda modding it ourselves as we go along. Though we wouldn't have stood for it over there, we're just more active and aware here.

[-] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

It's still got me buggered as to what flavour of intellectually impoverished fuckwit thinks it's a justified and valid use of their time. Like, get a real hobby ya menace/s! I just don't get it.
