Site with over a million users and one of the biggest agitprop vehicles of the last five years and now it's private. Lol. Lmao.
Edit: Ok, now the mods are saying making the site private is only temporary while they "deal with the cleanup from ongoing brigading."
I think she was just naive, personally. This is an American "post-left" mod, she won't actually know what she's talking about, she's just a victim of liberalism that thought she'd do well against some FNC ghoul. I think of her as a representative of the larger problems in these kinds of communities and don't have anything bad to say about them as a person.
Lots of reasons she might have thought she'd do well, but my guess is we don't need to look much farther than the :reddit-logo: format where you can have lots of bad takes and spend three hours crafting a response to own someone and everything works out, which in no way translates to handling a bad faith FNC charlatan.
Edit: forgot that we knew her pronouns.
