>we made a tweet that unexpectedly led to a wave of harassment directed at our staff and community.
What terrible gaslighting here, shifting the blame from their community manager in charge doing the harassments, to the community itself as being the harassers.
Wrong. That was only one person who made the woke comment which only got 8 likes. Meanwhile, there where hundreds of other people who got blocked and made no such comments and were blocked only because criticizing the product and the poor actions of the CM. That's the real community.
If the CM only blocked that one person with the woke comment and kept quiet, everything would have been fine, but instead she kept antagonizing the community using the woke comment as fuel to start a fire based on her own world and political views as if
that one comment represented the whole community, so the community told her to drop it and focus on the product instead not on politics, then she started banning all those people.
If one comment of one person is enough for someone to loose their shit and go on a tirade about identity politics on the org's social media account and ban hundreds of people untreated to the offending comment, they must have some rice paper thin skin, low emotional maturity, or untreated mental issues either of which make them unfit for such positions.
What terrible gaslighting here, shifting the blame from their community manager in charge doing the harassments, to the community itself as being the harassers.
