      #MedievalTwitter #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race This is a long thread that addresses Safety & Secret FB Groups: There are two separate things happening that Abby Ang has conflated as one thing. The secret FB group is separate from the scholarly activist org. Medievalists of Color.

      2/ This is made clear in the Constitution. The secret FB group is there for different BIPOC scholars in medieval studies as a safe space to share safety information, safety resources, address potential violence or other harms targeting various group members;

      3/it includes sensitive personal information in the group. In fact, the group often has multiple messages about potential fascist security issues at medieval studies conferences to warn other potential vulnerable group members.Moderators sponsor members; It is not open to anyone.

      4/ The group’s first rule is that no one publicly discusses the group because it is a space in which a lot of sensitive safety information is shared. This sensitive information, if there is a safety leak, could put multiple group members in the crosshairs of white supremacists.

      5/ As several members have received violent (death & rape usually) threats from white supremacists, the group moderators take safety as a top priority. Since Abby Ang has posted publicly @ this secret facebook group, she has broken the group's 1st rule: never to publicly discuss.

          6/ Publicly divulging this secret FB group has created a trove for white supremacists to use in various hall of mirrors way for their own ends. We know that already her public post is being circulated and discussed amongst the medieval studies equivalent of Stormfront.

          7/ This means that it already has gotten to multiple members of the medieval studies white supremacy cluster; they regularly incite violence to different vulnerable members of the secret FB group.

          8/ Thus, it has put members of the secret FB group into more potential violent danger from the white supremacists. This may not have been the intent of the public post, but it is the effect.

          9/ Several members of the secret FB group contacted a moderator with a safety worry because of what the members saw in public social media posts. A moderator was provided with a screenshot and both moderators agreed that this may be a safety issue to the group.

Adam Miyashiro went ahead & messaged her to ask,

          11/ w/ the materials,what was going on & can we discuss. Abby immediately locked her accounts & disappeared.She has, in fact, never talked to us since then, even though we have told various other mediators & thru other conduits that we are happy to discuss w/ her & w/ mediators.

          12/ This happened in November. We were approached later in November by another member of the secret FB group to see if she could be a mediator in this since she was contacted by Abby’s advisor about this. We said we would be happy to discuss things w/ her & also have a mediator.

          13/ So we waited for a discussion to be set up. The moderators have not discussed her publicly or even semi-publicly (i.e. on our FB accounts) in any way. I am sure the white supremacists have already tried to scour my social media to see if I have, but have come up w/ nothing.

          14/ We waited to see if we could work thru issues to bring her back into the group. However, we made the decision in Nov. that w/ her particular reaction, we would prioritize group safety & temporarily remove her w/ the possibility of her reintegration w/ further discussion.

          15/ This is something that is a regular practice in social activist circles as you can see in this thread from Tressie McCottom: https://twitter.com/tressiemcphd/status/1195751104505626625 ….

          16/ To contextualize further, other medieval FB groups that are private, rather than secret, have even more rigorous moderation models. Ex. the SMFS FB group has, b/c of multiple leaks that have led members to being a target of the white supremacists,

          17/ adopted a rigorous safety model that means mods. will remove members immediately w/out discussion.The Early Medieval English group, b/c of leaks that went to white supremacists, closed the group entirely & started from scratch to add members in order to control group safety.

          18/ All scholarly medieval FB groups have had to deal w/ (since 2016) their discussion & posts being used & weaponized by white supremacists. This has put group members at risk to being white supremacist targets.

          19/ Since our position is even more vulnerable, it is absolutely necessary that group safety measures be upheld. The secret FB group moderators have kept this quiet & not discussed it publicly in order to leave open the possibility of working through these issues w/ Abby

          20/ & bringing her back to the group. Unfortunately, we do not think that will happen now. Open, honest, &evidence-based discussion is important to academic intellectual life & antiracist activism. o is evidence-based, thoughtful, and honest critique.

          21/ But this cannot happen if various parties remove themselves from such discussions entirely (either b/c of a refusal to work honestly or b/c they have refused to discuss). The caveat here obviously being that I am not interested in having “discourse” with fascists.

          23/ This issue was brought to the scholarly activist org. Medievalists of Color when Abby or her advisor (I am not sure which) contacted a senior member of the Steering Committee and it was then brought to the rest of the committee in December.
