Public rant about Facebook Groups

Vocal seems to be one of the few places where I can freely express myself as a human being.

Well people tend to get upset when they're being manipulated. We all suffered a consequence we didn't deserve but you manipulated your way out of it. It's hard to trust a person who is that deceitful. We all were faithful, supportive, members of raid 2. We weren't the reason people were leaving. Since no one bothered to have a conversation with me, from one adult to another, as to why it was happening, the truth will remain with me.

I need to vent. It's not nice to be accused of being a manipulator when all I did was tell the truth. All this drama over a little video game. I'm not gonna mention names or which game it is for security reasons. It's so exhausting having no more safe places left. And people wonder why the suicide/depression rate is so high. It's draining me of my energy for the things I love the most. This was sent by somebody who was meant to be a friend.

I don't really know how to explain it, but here goes. I was in some group chats in a game I was playing, and the group chats were awesome. I made some good friends there and we all got on really well. Then one day I noticed one of the members had vanished. Then I got a message from them inviting me to another facebook group because they had an argument with an admin and people felt she was unfairly banned so they made a new one. I was told the group chat had to be kept a secret even though anyone could look up the group via a simple Facebook search.

A few months down the line everything seemed well. She was allowed back into the group again. Then somebody shared a link to the private group in the public group and was asked to take it down. One of the admins messaged me and asked if I was in that private group and said not to worry, because I wasn't in any trouble.

What was the point in lying? If I lied and they found out, it would have been bad on all sides. So I decided to tell the truth. Yes, I was in it. I did not realise that joining that group broke their group rule. It would have fallen into the clause of soliciting. But the admin understood. The admin of the public group chat asked me questions, and I responded honestly. Because of my honestly I was allowed to stay.

Everyone else got banned from that group. It was sad. I was sad for them. I was torn. I eventually got kicked out of the private one; they were so upset that I was allowed to stay in that chat. It was their choice to keep me in their groups. I did nothing wrong. All I did was tell the truth. The chances of anyone involved reading this are extremely low. Better chance of winning the lottery.

So yeah, I'm sorry for being honest. I'm sorry people got banned from a Facebook group. Thinking about it now, I did the right thing by being honest. I know who cares and who dosen't. Just because they felt like they got kicked out of the public group for no reason doesn't mean they have to bring their suffering onto me. It hurts being banned when you feel like you did nothing wrong, but move on.

The private group chat didn't remove me from their main Facebook group, but I left it. I ain't never going back there. I don't have time to listen to their fake toxic positivity whilst I am being accused of being manipulator. I don't have time for their abuse anymore. I'm glad I was allowed to stay in the public group chats where I was valued and loved.

    Omggg, this seems like petty high school drama. I'm with you on this. I would have told the truth too. Because it would have been worse if we lied and the truth got out later
