Synopsis

(trying to be neutral here)

Hazycora[^1] was informally hired to work on Loops web UI. Then Daniel[^2] posted about his idea to launch a video ads network for Loops (which he latter admitted was a joke), and Hazycora commented that such posts hurt people's trust in him.

This was followed by an avalanche of mutual accusations, which I shall not dwell, as a result Hazycora no longer works for Loops.

Consequences

Accounts using "hazy.gay" email domain were banned on loops.video with a fake dubstep-posting Kamala Harris account as an excuse. This also breaks guest browsing on loops.gay.
Hazycora's username on loops.video was forcibly changed from single-letter "h" to "hazellll".
Disassemblies of the Loops client were published on GitHub.
Hazycora says she has got more than $500 in donations in the past two days; Daniel says his following count is growing, and hers are going down; both claims need verification.

Footnotes

[^1]: Admin of besties.house and git.gay. Created loops.gay, the first web client for Loops. [^2]: Daniel Supernault (aka "dansup"). Creator of Pixelfed (federated Instagram clone), Loops (federated TikTok clone), FediDB, fediverse.info, pubkit.net and yet unreleased Sup messenger.

You already did smear the man. That's why I'm asking about the details, because I suspect that you have none and are smearing him unfairly.

What in the weirdo behaviour is this?

'He's skeezy but I won't go into details.'

Do.

'No man you're being weird.'

Sounds like I got my answer. Usually, if someone makes vague insinuations against someone, it's fair to ask for details. Making snide remarks to smear someone, but then refusing to elaborate with details that could be verified, is weird.

If someone said that I'd done something questionable, I really hope someone like you doesn't pipe up to try and make a mountain out of a molehill.

Sounds more like you are delusional and making things up.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 0 points 1 week ago

What, you mean when I said, "It’s not the first questionable thing DeadPand has done and it won’t be the last," and then got quiet when asked what I'm even talking about?
