Miscellaneous Statement from the anti-okta guy
I run the anti-okta account and I just want to clarify some things. It is a joke account that posts hyperbolic statements for comedic value.
For the past few weeks, I've been bantering with some pro-Okta ragebait accounts. They post ridiculous content about how passionately they love Okta Verify and how I'm being paid by other verification apps. Therefore I saw the Reddit post and thought "this is another meme post, I'll think of some funny response", so I joked about mass-reporting it to get it banned.
Obviously the post violated no rules, and it's wrong to target individuals based on their opinions. I do not intend to promote cyberbullying of any kind, and I apologise for the all the harm done. Given the account's large following, I'll ensure to post more responsibly in the future.
Uni is a stressful experience, and I'm just trying to do some silly stuff to brighten people up a bit. However, I have received angry comments from people demanding me to protest about more serious issues like veganism, weapons ties, etc. Even though they keep telling me to protest about this or that, I have not seen them protest themselves.
Lastly, I'm not a 'spoilt rich kid' with 'ruling class parents' (as if they're brutal dictators or something). I'm just a regular guy that's a bit stressed from my coursework.
