I happen to know the exact opposite of the accusations in the post above. Pharesim is a great friend of mine and all the things in his Twitter banner are exact bullshit that clueless people have said about him and is no way near to who he is as a person.
I also was there every step of the way when Curangel was created. It's curators are working hard every day to reward content creators on this platform.
That said, I also don't always agree on how downvotes of the project are used and it pains me to see how some people use that to smear the good work this project does for Hive.
Voted for standing up for yourself and not letting this group push you around, and I encourage more of that behavior. They've been at it for far too long in my opinion.
It is quite ironic how they claim someone spins and warps the reality when they themselves fall for something like the banner Pharesim made while being sarcastic and fed up by people talking trash without knowing anything about him. They take that and warp and spin the reality themselves and speak about how they are truth seekers. Bullshit. They twist everything to fit their narrative. I think it says a lot about them.
Too busy presenting themselves as humans with a higher understanding and increased awareness to even notice how far gone they are. No getting through. Even if one wanted to help (which most don't because it's far too frustrating), it's impossible. People have been trying for months.
At this point it's clear (to me at least) there are a few people around experiencing severe mental illness. And that's not an attack. It's an observation.
The twisting and spinning is one thing, but the sheer amount of abuse countless members here have had to endure for the past several months now, all stemming from that group, is not acceptable.
