Either way, pointing out that Jason Scott has possibly done something wrong is best done by talking to Jason Scott.
I'm not sure I'd recommend that, given
@amichlin's experience and my own. Hopefully someone can get through to him.
I offered to privately explain what really happened on Twitter (X) and was blocked as a result and made out to be accusing OP of being a liar. I only want to interject the facts as I know them and maybe offer up a couple of opinions.
I've had the same experience, sadly. I've no involvement but tried to suggest to Jason in a semi-private venue (Discord) that it might be an idea to step back and take stock. Specifically I highlighted my experience volunteering and that posting on the first day of VCF might come off badly (I was assuming good faith at this point).
I got the same response
@amichlin had: insulted, then he replied to say I could "leave one response in the form of an emote only before I was removed from the server"...
I should add the server had no posted rules so I assumed basic politeness applied - i.e. don't repeat anything which wasn't already public. And Jason had already posted the link publicly in several places, including news websites. The link to the Discord chat had also been posted publicly in the past, by Jason.
From what I've heard from several unrelated people since, he deleted his entire reaction, and is now claiming that I was removed from the server for "leaking his messages publicly, which is against the rules of the server" - the simple fact is, the only "message" I "leaked" was a link to his blog post [
edit: see clarification below], which was included as part of the "reply to:" block...
Edit for accuracy:
I've checked the screenshots I tweeted: one was Jason posting a link to his blog post, with the text "This is getting hilarious" below the link preview. I hadn't noticed that text until now (I stopped reading at the link preview).
The second screenshot is my message, which Discord showed as a reply to "This is getting hilarious".
I don't know what specifically was hilarious, and I'm not going to speculate.
End edit.
People can make up their own minds here.
Internet clout is a hell of a drug.
Isn't it just.
