Wow... question ..... Who is ctb60 ???

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

Don't kbow. these scared little Fascists hide behind anonymity. It is an encrypted-anonymous account. And apparently https://protonmail.com doesn't even care to reply to my reports of abuse.

johanneswilhelm.bsky.social•30 days ago

Can you block all of Protomail? Looks like a domain fit for people in the dark web anyways. If a serious scientist wants to contact you, they can do it in the open.

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

I don't think I can block a whole domain with work email (gmail), but it is a great idea!

johanneswilhelm.bsky.social•30 days ago

I think it can be done, but I've never had to. With a 3rd party email app you definitely can.

johanneswilhelm.bsky.social•30 days ago

Correction: I have blocked entire domains before: I used to get a lot of spam on Yahoo, and TypeApp for Android could block entire domains. I don't see why Gmail would be different.

Maybe it means something, but just as likely it’s just random

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

I don't believe in "random" in these instances. This was deliberate and premeditat3d. I expect this to become more common in the future.

aeneta.bsky.social•30 days ago

I think that’s completely possible, but I still believe it’s possible that it’s just a set of characters some trump cultist put together for an email

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yes, you are probably right. Anything is probably possible right now.

And maybe they are just looking for a reaction to feel good about their little lives.. or someone to blame for their under achievement.

hellyeahcorks.bsky.social•30 days ago

First, what the fresh hell. 😠😠

Second, posting myself in #DSVAlvin on my SEVENTH dive to hopefully enrage that human turd even more. Women dive in Alvin and know more about the seafloor than you ever will, dudebro. Enjoy mediocrity. 😎

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

And amazingly, this was the passage that pushed his buttons: wtf, right?

hellyeahcorks.bsky.social•30 days ago

Very wtf. I guess we should go back to prohibiting everyone that's not a cis white man from sailing.....or just make them sleep under the map table if they insist on sailing (know ppl that did this in the 60s bc they were not given a berth). 🙄🤦‍♀️

magmacanteenboy.bsky.social•30 days ago

It's like these losers were lurking since they were C students in the 8th grade, and now they have permission to be vile.
BTW, I moved over to proton recently, specifically for the privacy (not so much privacy as not wanting others I loathe making money off my media). Too bad it's been weaponized.

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah, I'm sure there is more than one reason to use proton. But the maggots do love the cover of anonymity.

christiemalry.bsky.social•30 days ago

Besmirches news of the best little DSV in the world with his fascist bullshit, the hadal zone is too good for these people

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

❤️❤️ .. and BTW, Yay, Hadal zone !! So amazing.

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

🧪 Just realized 2 of original images in my "BEWARE" science content post are the same 🤦‍♀️. Here is correct image #2 ("A highlighted quote from the article pointing out the inclusivity in ocean exploration is a goal"). You can see the benign article content the harasser objected to & called racist 🌊

mandy-loudziku.bsky.social•29 days ago

Take care Dr Rubin. Many of us love a good scientist.

kennarubin.bsky.social•29 days ago

😊❤️👋

fizbin.bsky.social•30 days ago

I mean, they already object to DEI broadly. The only way to do that is to either be completely ignorant about what "DEI" means or to also be the kind of person who can't stand an effort like this one.

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

... or can't stand someone NOT like them having an opportunity.

drjohndesmarteau.bsky.social•30 days ago

While anonymity has its place for those using social media under authoritarian regimes, it has allowed too many people in America to write things online they would never say in person. IMHO, it’s a large part of the current polarization.

ohsusquhanna.bsky.social•30 days ago

Same old story of ignorance and irrational fears acting together in a cowardly manner. If the USPS was involved, that is a reportable crime.

gardener68.bsky.social•30 days ago

Sadly, fascists have been doing such for centuries. Block, block, block.

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

But even more sadly, we have a US president and minions who promote this, and feel emboldened to be lawless and threatening. Scientists can't just "block" our names contact information from our publications. That's not how it works.

gardener68.bsky.social•30 days ago

On a brighter note, it must be enormously fulfilling and downright awesome to do what you do. 🥰

kennarubin.bsky.social•30 days ago

Totally, and thanks for that😀😊😁🌞.

I feel like the luckiest science girl in the world!

gardener68.bsky.social•30 days ago

How wonderful. Hell, I experience gratitude working in my gardens, can’t imagine what it’s like for you!

gardener68.bsky.social•30 days ago

Agreed. And I thought of that after I posted.😞 You can’t even report to the FBI anymore. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hopefully law enforcement at the state and local level will act if needed.
