#abusive — Public Fediverse posts

I was surprised to read someone describing their #relationship with #technology in #abusive terms, seemingly unaware they were doing so. This is part of a debate in the IndieWeb blogosphere, so I had to jump in with my 2 cents worth of opinions.

#Trump throws a #tantrum.

This is not a leader. This is #spoiled #brat, a #lying, #dangerous #abusive #creep who wrecks everything he touches.

This is what the #republican party has become, a dirty soiled diaper for a baby #tyrant.

Vote all #republicans out.

The faster we tar and feather and run this criminal, abusive, vindictive administration out of town, the quicker our nation will heal. High time these scumbags in the DoJ and DHS are put behind bars.

To all the #Government[s] of the world: You subject us to lofty ideals like #DataLocalization and invasive surveillance like #ChatControl in the pretense of #privacy, #security and #LawEnforcement. Why then do you forcefully enroll us into this crooked global #Surveillance dragnet that's not in either of our interests? That's a betrayal of your entire nation!

We need iron fisted #regulations and heavy monetary #penalties against such #aggressive and #abusive #cabals instead.

The dating app A4A Radar (Adam4Adam) IMO wrongfully suspends my account. Before that, they IMO wrongfully accused me of being spammer, censored all my messaging and then stopped censoring me again before IMO wrongfully suspending me altogether.

IMO The app is bullying me by groundlessly and abusively suspending my account, without me violating any conditions, which ruins my romantic and dating life and causes toxic loneliness which, according to research, has as bad health effect as smoking 18 cigarettes a day. I was communicating respectfully and didn’t send any sexual pictures. Before, the app IMO bullied and harrassed me by wrongful blocking and accusations: I don’t spam and just write introductory messages about my interests (nothing sexual, no sexual pictures) and suddenly a red banner appears at the top of the screen falsely accusing me “Error: you are marked a spammer” and messages stop working, I can’t even read incoming messages (censorship) or communicate with other people. The app is IMO hypocritical because it’s the app which is IMO spamming with adverts, not me.

⚖️ The #RightOfAccess allows you to find out what information a company has stored about you, why it has stored it and how it uses it. ⚠️ But requesting access to your data could soon be deemed #abusive – at least if the EU Commission's #DigitalOmnibus passes.

From Crowdfund:

🚨EMERGENCY🚨

Anna, an #Australian woman battling severe #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis (#ME) for over 20 years, is trapped in a toxic home with #abusive family members. She has multiple chronic illnesses too

#Bedbound & forced to stay in a dark room, she is very vulnerable and that is taken advantage of. She is not allowed to access #disabilityaids or supportworkers & needs approval for all mailed items including food, which may be binned or sold regardless. She faces deliberate exposure to sensory overload, days without food, constant yelling, gaslighting, called every insult, stolen belongings - the list is endless.

She has been infected with #COVID 3 times in 15 months due to unmasked family members, who have ignored the pleas of her doctor to be Covid conscious. She now has #LongCovid as well.

This is compounded by #endometriosis, #hypothyroidism, #POTS, #chronicpain, & more. She was forced to decline surgery to remove endometriosis after her family denied her after care & would not allow support workers to assist. One of many examples where medical care was denied by #CoersiveControl

As a result of all this her health is deteriorating rapidly. She is living in "survival mode” but can’t for much longer.

There are no steady rules, just excuses for her #abuse.

** Her doctor fears staying in this environment will kill her.**

Australia's #healthcare, #disability, & #domesticviolence systems have failed her catastrophically, This systemic #neglect has created a #lifethreatening crisis – & for Anna, it's already too late to wait.

**Anna's Critical Needs***

- **Safe #Housing ASAP:** Anna desperately needs a quiet #room in a COVID-conscious (masking) home in #Melbourne. She can pay rent $250 per week,funded meals & limited care hours; long-term help may qualify for Carer's Allowance. You’re not required to be a carer but can choose to.

- **Secure Relocation:** Ambulance transport to reduce infection risks & reduce further stress & worsening of symptoms.

- **Expert Advocacy:** A #disabilityadvocate for complex cases to navigate the system with her. She can’t do this alone.

- **Communication Help (#Australia, preferably #Victoria):** Someone to handle phone tasks – all info provided. She can’t use the #phone due to the severity of her illness.

"Australia’s state & services are trapping a woman living with #severeME in #domesticabuse

And they keep passing the buck"

I don’t know how some people get Hermes bags #crowdfunded, but to escape an #abusive #narcissist & others that have made my life hell for 20 years, I have to use every last drop of energy in my severely unwell body to post & repost requests for help.

And I just want to make enough to get out & have chance at life again.

I know life isn’t fair, but I don’t need it rubbed in ny face with a sledgehammer.

#Gaslighting creates unnecessary additional #traumas. It is #abusive & #manipulative.
I have always struggled with forgiveness towards gaslighters. It's literally #crazymaking & it's harmful to our souls. It makes you question yourself, your realities & it dissolves trust.

Why won’t my #abusive #parent admit they were wrong & apologise?
🧐"Many parents who abused their children will never apologise for te harm they've done; won’t acknowledge or admit te abuse at all.. A genuine apology reqs a shared #understanding of wat happened & why it was #unjust. Many perpetrators lack #selfconfidence, impulse control & #empathy. Tis often manifests as a string of #failed #marital relationship.. Things get more complex when te parent's abusing #alcohol"

#Anthropic has announced new capabilities for its #Claude #AImodels, allowing them to #end conversations in extreme cases of #harmful or #abusive user #interactions. This is being done to #protect the #AImodel itself, not the human user, as part of a programme to study #modelwelfare. The feature is currently limited to Claude Opus 4 and 4.1. https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/16/anthropic-says-some-claude-models-can-now-end-harmful-or-abusive-conversations/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

"#Forcibly locking #people up in #psych wards isn't the progressive alternative to the #prison system it's often made out to be. Losing your basic #rights and #autonomy isn't less #traumatizing when we refer to it as "#treatment". If the alternative to locking people up in a #bigoted, #capitalist, #abusive prison system becomes forced treatment in a bigoted, capitalist, abusive psych ward then that's not a real alternative at all, that's just two ends of the same beast."

#SeanCombs did not take the stand in his own defense, nor did his lawyers present any witnesses. Instead, they pointed to hundreds of texts & social media posts in which Ventura & Jane expressed enthusiasm for those sessions, despite the women later saying on the stand that they felt pressed & manipulated into planning & participating in them. These relationships, the defense team argued, were toxic & perhaps #abusive, but failed to meet the government's standards of federal #criminality.
