Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

@mawhrin@circumstances.run is the instance admin (also on this instance as @mawhrin@awful.systems) so they’re probably the best account to check
@self Okay, mawhrin's account is viewable from Hachyderm (https://hachyderm.io/@mawhrin@circumstances.run). So looks like it's specific to Gerard.
@self Gerard's page, for comparison: https://hachyderm.io/@davidgerard@circumstances.run
Not sure if these pages render different if you're not logged in.
huh, for me (not logged in) David’s account is viewable via that link — that’s really bizarre. I’ll do a little more digging when I can!
@self Just did a quick test, and at least for me when I am logged in it shows the account as suspended, but when I look at that same link in a private tab it immediately redirects to the circumstances.run instance and shows the account info there.
Keep in mind that it redirects to circumstances.run if you visit the account page, I don't know why it still does that when the account is suspended, it was supposed to show you a page saying it redirects. Maybe it's a bug on mastodon. If I search for davidgerard on hachyderm it says he's suspended.
are we about to find out the hachyderm board/steering group/whatever are involved in the nanowrimo ai shit? I recall a bit about some previous dumb shit about a bunch of the people in the foundation, think it was coiner noise with a dash of ai hyping iirc?
