I have experienced some wonderful things here. At one time I considered this a home. A tribe. Too many negative experiences have tarnished that feeling. Today....I’m done. I have never experienced something so betraying or violating.
A private conversation was screenshot from another platform and was shared on here via a link to another public platform. My words and my face were used without my consent.
I have been very careful to only share my face with those I trust. That has been violated.
Shame on me for thinking sharing in a private group was safe. Shame on them for thinking sharing private conversations, names and images without consent is okay.
While the blog with the link was removed and the screenshots taken down (from the reports or the person remains to be seen), the damage is done.
I have wondered why I continue to stay here. I rarely participate. Now...I think it’s time to move on.
To add insult to injury, I’m to blame for refusing to choose sides of two people I cared about, that I caused the fallout. Because I chose not to participate in childish behavior, it’s my fault. Just wow.
No one deserves to be treated this way from either side.
