    Hilarious.

    Ross i think you roasted somebody’s ego too hard last night without even saying any names. In retaliation, you’ve now been banned from superstonk.

      The hilarious part to me is that I was poking at an online persona that isn’t their real identity! I mean, I learned a long time ago that a sufficiently motivated bad actor can get to doxxing anyone, so you have power by being transparent to who you actually are. Your fake avatar that isn’t connected to your actual life got punched for being a jackass? And you take this personally?

      I’ve got bad actors in my dm on Reddit and Twitter asking me “Does your boss at Oracle know you are active in here?!” (Yes) or “is this your official Oracle Twitter account that you are posting this shit on?!” (No, the official Oracle accounts clearly say Oracle and this is my private account and completely in line with their social media rules).

      My advice to everyone is dox yourself to gain power. Anonymous voices are easy to dismiss, real people with identities vote, shop and protest more effectively. It also reduces your ability to be a complete dick to others and that’s not a bad thing.

      For the record, I don’t think most of the mods there are compromised by being bought out; it’s far easier to compromise people by getting their egos aligned to your purpose.
