Micr0 accused me of being a Pedophile behind closed doors.

This situation was now resolved. Please do refer to this document here: https://doc.micr0.dev/s/yjVU8vCdc#

Micr0, AKA @[email protected], @[email protected], and micr0.dev has accused me of being a pedophile.

You may know Micr0 for making AltBot, for co-running the FediMC Minecraft Server [archive], or for just being another person on the Fediverse.

Over the past roughly 20 days, Micr0 has accused me of, and convinced the administration of wetdry.world that I am a pedophile, behind their closed doors. He has reached out to me only after I noticed and talked in public about passive-aggressive comments that Micr0 left in a groupchat we have shared membership in, and how I noticed I was suspended from the Fuzzies.wtf Mastodon instance.

This all starts a few days ago, in a groupchat that Micr0 and I share membership in, I noticed that I could not see any of Micr0's messages and asked about it, then had someone else forward my message so Micr0 would see it.

The question was whether Micr0 had blocked me, and why.

The response by Micr0 was as follows:

Idk why that matters or how that is relevant I am in this gc for my friends, i previously left because of alexia and choosing not to support her ways but ow I came back so that I can be with my friends. I blocked her so that I can be with my friends sorry I don't need help from a well [if you know] then [you know]

receipt is here

Following this, I made some vague posts on my Fediverse account, starting here. because this thread is followers-only, here is a screenshot of said thread as a receipt: https://files.catbox.moe/vi90f9.png

(sorry, I can't provide a full transcript of that right now.)

That was then followed up with the following posts: Thread number one: – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6v7iva6ddnpdpzv – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6v7ji237hkkxp5x – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6v8vlrsbtr32dj0 – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6v8wxhdzk6a5ncn

Thread number two: – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6v997347806sg5w – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6v9bgsarvz5apnb

Thread number three: – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6vac7eegywc95h9 – https://shrimp.starlightnet.work/notes/a6vaeztqhys1pdp1

To keep it short, I had noticed that I was entirely banned from Fuzzies, and my account was hidden on Wet-Dry World. Following this I contacted Essem on XMPP to inquire about my hidden profile. I did not contact Micr0.

Essem read the message, and swiftly handed the situation over to Micr0 which then contacted me instead. The full transcript of that conversation (with some personal details redacted) is here: https://files.catbox.moe/vntyxq.txt

This covers all conversation I've had with Micr0 since, but I'll only cover part of it for this next section.

Effectively, Micr0 talked to me about the situation and brought forth two arguments for why I've been banned, outlining that these are “pedophilic behavior”

  1. Micr0 claims that I had text interactions sexual in nature with a minor, implying them to be under the age of consent.

This is quickly disproven, as said person is over the age of consent in their respective jurisdiction. We have an age gap of 1 year and 4 months. To respect their wishes, I will not be publishing their name.

  1. Micr0 claims that in a prior conversation about a predator that is free-roaming on Fedi, that I sympathized with the pedophile after Micr0 had asked me for advice on how to deal with the situation.

This requires some more context, but I cannot make the chat history public as that would invade the privacy of Micr0 quite a lot. Instead, I offer a summary:

Micr0 had contacted me about feeling powerless over someone that is known to have engaged in erotic role-play with a minor at the age of ~30. After some back and forth to clear up some confusion I had in the conversation, I was given the information that the way Micr0 wanted to deal with it is by 'cancelling' said person. I reiterated twice on how I think that is a bad idea because of not having sufficient evidence, and 'cancelling' or public exposures usually not being taken seriously, or it delegitimizing evidence that could be given to authorities.

Micr0 saw me disagreeing with the idea of cancelling as me sympathizing with the predator.

Fast forward to the last two days.

I have reached out to Essem as previously described, but still have not gotten a reply. Instead, all the information is still handled through Micr0. Micr0 had told me that the post I made should be edited to reflect that the decision was “not personal”. Hoping that I could get unlimited, I complied, and even went a step further and made a standalone post stating this.

48 hours pass without any kind of interaction. Micr0 had said that either he or Essem would reach out to me “tomorrow”, yet that had not happened, so I sent another message asking for an update.

And an update I got. My appeal was rejected. I was explained that my account would continue to be limited, and it may potentially be banned from Wet-Dry World, my old home, altogether.

At the same time as that message, Niko had contacted me, telling me that Micr0 had said:

im just facing a difficult decision right now since a pedo got banned from fuzzies and wdw but they want to use altbot and stuff .... – Receipt

There is is. No doubt, Micr0 is convinced that I am a pedophile.

I was later told by Nelson that he was contacted by Micr0 as well during that time.

During these 48 hours, I was constantly on-edge, but especially after it was confirmed that my appeal was denied, I had an incredibly high pulse, had trouble controlling my breathing, and generally felt like I was on the edge of a full on breakdown and/or panic attack.

Once I had calmed down a little, I went outside for a walk to get some fresh air, in which moment Micr0 contacted Niko again this time with the following:

Niko? Niko: Yeah Micr0: I have a random question this is very stupid but I need to know [in reply to “I've been tasked of collecting some evidence to support the recent moderation actions of wetdry world”] did you tell someone about this? – Receipt

In other words, Micr0 was tasked with asking all of my closest friends behind my back with the explicit purpose of finding receipts of me showing “pedophilic behaviors”.

So just as my pulse went down far enough that I could breathe, I immediately found myself furious again.

This leaves us at now. Micr0 is probably still looking for evidence in my contacts and between my friends to justify the decision of banning me from Fuzzies and Wet-Dry World, and for evidence to use against me to call me a pedophile.

Small update before we continue: Whilst I was preparing this document, another message entered my inbox. Namely:

Micr0: hi again, just wanted to clarify that we won't be contacting other instances about this situation. the limits will remain only on wetdry.world and fuzzies.wtf – nowhere else. i thought knowing this might ease some concerns.

To this, I simply replied “I had no concerns of that nature.” I personally believe that this reads as Micr0 not reaching out to other instances, as you usually would with a case like this, because of the evidence not holding up. – Receipt

I find the delays, the accusations, and the emotional roller-coaster this has caused me to be unacceptable and disgusting.

This has cost me my sleep. This has cost me my peace. This has cost me almost passing out. This has cost me so much time writing up this document TWICE as I lost it once due to power outage. It has cost me being on the verge of a panic attack for hours on end just desperately trying to calm myself down.

I am NOT letting my name get dragged through the mud.

Micr0 and Essem,

I am deeply disappointed in how you handled this situation. I am disappointed by how you went off of assumptions of my nature, the age of those I interact with, and false interpretations of my words to paint the picture that I am a child predator. I am disappointed that you did not even care to do the bare-minimum age and jurisdiction check to see if any of these claims even hold up. I am disgusted at how, behind closed doors, I explicitly got called 'pedo' without remorse.

But most of all, I am angry. I am angry that the person I spent so much time dragging out of the mud would turn around on me and use dirty tricks to justify calling me a pedophile, and I am angry at how Micr0 seemingly has failed to realize what kind of consequences an accusation of this magnitude could have for my life and my future. It is devastating.

And I know you two are going to read this. Good Night.

All of the above approve of this document, and can confirm that what is written here represents the truth.

Update as of 19:46 CEST, April 24th of 2025:

I have had people reach out to me saying that this is not an isolated case. I am not giving more information at this time to preserve the privacy of those which contacted me, but it seems this kind of internal misinformation may allegedly not be a one-time mishap.
