nayeAccording to AO3's abuse team's message to Dr Rukmini Pande, "my full name being tagged to extremely disturbing content on their site (in a manner designed to expose me to continued abuse) did not constitute the creation of a hostile atmosphere towards me"

Copying my reaction from Twitter
This is absolutely vile. If using someone's full name in a tag in a negative way isn't harassment, what is? Especially if that person's name is also their social media handle. Pointing readers to a target before they've even opened the work is just...fine, actually. Says Abuse.
I can't stop thinking about how this means that if I read a fic with yucky racist shit in it, and go on Twitter to call it a yucky racist fic, the author can then put "naye hates this fic" in their tags. Because either Abuse will allow it, meaning they will always side with the person sending abuse rather than the target of it. Or, they might not allow it then, but *did* allow it when the target was a woman of color who has written critically of their org before. Neither is good.
Excellent Metafilter thread on The Guardian's censoring of Judith Butler.
Bonus: A MetaTalk thread on just how TERF-y The Guardian is.
Today was warm - low twenties, but that's warmer than most of August was. So Skuld clocked out early and we had a quick dinner and then went to the lake for a paddle. It was gorgeous.
Video and some photos on Twitter. I'll make a post, too, but not tonight.

(They also said they would hire a consultant on anti-racism work to help them with stuff - which might have included fortifying the abuse team, idk - but there has been absolutely no news on that, either.) It's very much like the people in charge of the org don't care that much about racism. (Just look at how quickly - less than 6 months, I think? - they implemented a tag limit after that was abused by one bad actor and everyone complained. But when the only ones complaining are BIPOC - crickets.)
