I don't know about #Monsterdon tonight; I found the movie but it had a lot of buffering issues and then announced that I didn't have an internet connection. Gonna give it a whirl after altering my RAM settings but I'm not optimistic.
Alrighty! Tried Internet Archive again, still had buffering issues, so @miru it is and I've got my bingo card at the ready, with thanks to @Cherizilla for that!
Starting to have buffering issues with Miru but they're nowhere near as bad as Archive. Had to get another bingo card, the window got inadvertently closed.
Oh, I get it. There's the Venus Fly Trap and now we have the Mars Fly Trap. No chlorophyll (that one finds on Earth) and neurological system says FUNGUS.
Okay, Rogue's Project just froze up so continuing on My Portal...I did say over there that the sound was some sort of marine monster? Surprised because it sounded like somebody farted in a bathtub.
An amoeba enzymatic eating of tissues. Hey, we've got a minuscule version of that IRL in Oklahoma, but it's called the brain-eating amoeba. No shit, people.
Seriously? They wait until final credits roll before showing something on that dual trace oscilloscope, and it's only one thing, and it resembles somebody's EKG that has flatlined. GAWDamytee.
Okay, about those bufferings and freeze-ups for last night's #Monsterdon--turns out there were complications from my internet service provider cutting in and out intermittently too. There were some severe storms that I was afraid would hit here, but they didn't, yet nonetheless they took out about a mile of utility poles south of here and there was no electricity, among other services, in that area, according to one OKC TV channel. YIKES.
Welp, it looks like I've been banned from #Monsterdon without a clue as to why. The guy who makes it happen went into a snit about I don't know what and he brought the ban-hammer down. No idea why he went all bonkers but he did and so good Monsterdon folks, it's been good to interact with you and it was fun. Now will somebody please talk some sense in to a guy who went nuts and won't explain? Or maybe I can just follow the hashtag without the lunatic? I don't know--it's not like I miss the lunatic but I'm going to miss Monsterdon.
@davesdogmaggie they mean me. they clearly never checked the pronouns on my profile. I only saw this because I didn't realize they had more than one account (they're both blocked now) it was because I set a boundary, even gave them permission to subtoot to me as long as they didn't @ me, they ignored that boundary with a winky emoji so I blocked. if that makes me a 'lunatic' so be it
also I can't actually ban anyone from monsterdon.. its a hashtag thing. anyone can participate and multiple people post every week about what the movie will be. like half a dozen people or so
I've got more than two accounts; I have only 2 Friendica accounts and nobody goes around checking everybody's profile on anywhere, so that "requirement" is just bonkers. What's obvious is that It never bothered to see who follows me and whom I follow, to see that I'm inclusive of whomever of every pronoun. It just want to pick a fight over nothing, and it's fine that I want nothing to do with people who pick fights over whatever nit It chooses to pick to launch into a snit. Hashtags open to the public are, well public.
No one can reason with the unreasonable and It pulled the whole drama thing out of Its ass because It is a drama queen, not because there was any substance to any of it. Its invented "issue" had no substance and still has no substance, but because It is a hothead for the helluvit, good riddance to bad rubbish then.
@davesdogmaggie You are 1000% an insufferable asshole, but I respect that you shot for the moon by trying to claim you're fine with pronouns or whatever while also purposefully misgendering someone. A bold move if nothing else
@Peter Griffin @Judgment Dave Peter, you make zero sense at all, hon. If you want to be called IT too, I can accommodate. I've had trans friends for years, one in particular I've known since before they transitioned medically, so you're full of shit on so many levels. Both you and your hothead maniac are now both IT as far as I'm concerned.
I didn’t know who you meant. Now I do. You are welcome to join everyone else for monsterdon as far as I’m concerned. Plenty of others post which movie we’re watching and it’s almost always on Tubi.
@Judgment Dave Thank you for that, much appreciated as are all the good Monsterdon people who enjoy it. It's still rather traumatic to have someone fly off the handle at one for no reason, but I think hugs from my actual trans friends will go a long way to make it go away.

As far as I know there's no way to ban someone from following or using a hashtag, therefore it's impossible to ban someone from #Monsterdon.
