I’ve watched Abbott Elementary AND Do Revenge! Thanks!
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Thrive to spite them
I saw this via reddit and I wondered if anyone had any info about what is going on:
Where there is a call for all volunteers of OTW to resign because of how OTW is handling multiple things, including the CSEM spam attack that happened. I really don't know the details of what is going on and was wondering if anyone could shed some light.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's A LOT going on. Things that OTW has messed up:
- The org's initial response to the protests around George Floyd's death (i.e., none)
- The org's lack of progress on any features to protect people from racial harassment, except blocking and muting, which were already in the works
- The org's lack of transparency as to what steps they were taking towards those goals
- The timeline for these steps, since at one point they said they planned to hire a Diversity Consultant "within the next five years"
- The chair of Legal gave an interview a couple of months ago in which she said that AO3 would host AI-generated fanworks, since they see their mandate as archiving all fanworks
- When people freaked out about the AI thing, the org put out a weasely statement saying that something "a volunteer" said didn't reflect the org's position
- The failure to respond to a two-week action called End OTW Racism, which was meant to bring the issue to people's notice and had a pretty clear and reasonable list of requests
- The generalized bitching boiled over when more people kept coming forward to talk about how AO3 burned out volunteers, failed to protect them from exposure to CSEM, seems to have targeted one volunteer as the culprit without providing any evidence

Ok that is a lot of work they need to do to fix things.

Yikes again! However is there anywhere to find fic right now? I am desperate because that is what I do for three hours a day on the bus! I think I might still have a binder with some Spike/Buffy and Pacey/Joey…

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Sophia, AO3 is up for me right now -- maybe you might be able to log in and download some fic to read on the bus?

Yay! I snagged the one I was in the middle of reading when AO3 went down. It seems a little dangerous to me know that the community as a whole has all of its eggs in this one basket. It is a great basket, but between the problems with the board response and this attack it seems like we could potentially lose a whole bunch of fic!
