Also from the Open Slopware organisation:
"… nothing good can come of it if/when Graham and his reddit buddies find out they're blocked. …"
– that's a baseless, mean-minded, tawdry accusation.
Re: the screenshot here, the first of my three 'friends' is a test account that I created. Not truly a friend.
The second is a highly-upvoted contributor who had difficulty with his Reddit account. I spent many hours helping him, and silently working around some of the difficulties. Probably not a mutual friendship; I have no idea whether, or how, other people make use of the feature.
The third is u/TheSunflowerSeeds <https://www.reddit.com/user/TheSunflowerSeeds/> – an automated account, an app. A single upvote from me. I vaguely remember responding to a single comment a year or so ago. Until today I wasn't aware that it's non-human. I don't remember adding the account, I was probably testing something.
Those three aside: some writers gain more votes than others. It's as simple as that, and the colouring by Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) <https://redditenhancementsuite.com/> helps me to see, privately, when a disagreeable comment is written by someone who I frequently upvote.
The Open Slopware implication that I'm a rabble-rouser is just ugly. Is there a better word than "ugly"? Yes: sloppy.
Slop.
Human slop.

The false claims―that I followed someone to the Fediverse―seem to be malicious. I can neither trust, nor respect, individuals or organisations that adopt tactics such as this in response to public dissent.
The screenshot here shows that I did not follow. I wrote first on Sunday 29th March, in response to what appeared to be the first response to the opening post.

A man must not always tell all, for that were folly: but what a man says should be what he thinks, otherwise ’tis knavery.

A quotation from George Orwell
I know it is the fashion to say that most of recorded history is lies anyway. I am willing to believe that history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be truthfully written.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 4, Such, Such Were the Joys, essay 8 (1953)More about this quote: wist.info/orwell-george/80603/

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
In a word, there is only one thing here worth the minding, and that is, to be true and just, and to show benevolence, even to the untrue and unjust.
[Ἓν ὧδε πολλοῦ ἄξιον, τὸ μετ᾿ ἀληθείας καὶ δικαιοσύνης εὐμενῆ τοῖς ψεύσταις καὶ ἀδίκοις διαβιοῦν.]Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 6, ch. 47 (6.47) (AD 161-180) [tr. Collier/Zimmern (1887)]Sourcing, notes, other translations: wist.info/marcus-aureleus/7834…

(1/5) The values of #authenticity and #originality have long been prized in our society. We place a high value on things that are deemed to be genuine, honest, and true. These values are closely linked to the idea of #truthfulness, which is the foundation upon which these values are built. However, in the digital realm, these values have been transformed in significant ways... #whoownsthetruth

So glad @Foxnews has to pay! But I wish @dominionvoting had won a case requiring Fox to *not* call what they do #journalism. I was a #journalist once (surname then: Pijanowski), & Beaumont Enterprise (TX #newspaper) held us #reporters to high standards of #truthfulness. No "journalist" at Fox does that. #Bookstodon

I'm finding myself draw to a lot of #lo-fi #music at the moment. Basically lots of #DanielJohnston. I'm not sure why. I know I admire the #rawness and #truthfulness of it. And maybe it's a call from deep in my subconsious to be more #truthful.
But today it's #JohnFrusciante and his album Niandra LaDes and Usually Just A T Shirt.
There is a #beauty to it I can't quite fathom.
