I can't commit to a new site when I hear all these horror stories about anarchist chapo admins mocking, silencing and banning communists. I need to know that this will be a left unity project and that sectarianism won't be tolerated. That I won't be attacked for defending China / NK. That I won't be called a "tankie" for explaining that gulags were a progressive form of justice. That liberals spreading imperialist propaganda about the Uighurs or Honk Kong reactionaries will be shut down immediately and not given room to breathe. The MLs in the chapo community need the admins and mods to make us these promises so we can trust this site and devote our time to posting here.
Wtf is this post? There are already plenty of ML people already posting the same pro/neutral talking points about China on the site with no issue, just like old times. I know there's been a bunch of mishandling of moderation on the Discord that may spread over here due to biases, but Discord was also a shit place to post. Now there's a modlog and people can actually see what was posted over the course of hours instead of getting buried after a couple minutes.
The tone of this post and the commenters is really weird too. You folks should try discussing actual topics and seeing how it goes first instead of asking themods to offer a personal guarantee so that you'll bring your glorious posts to the new Chapo. Yeah it sucks that c_d, Zara and a few other good posters got caught up in the drama, I'm not happy with how things have gone down, but it's a forum. Nobody needs you to "dedicate" your time a though you're providing some sort of public service. Just make a new username and post, and then bitch the mods out after they start with some bullshit instead of doing it preemptively.
