Unfortunately we could not handle, like, 10,000 more leftists, 100,000 libs, and 20,000 chuds on this board.

Edit: When the sub comes back, there's going to be a lot of introspection and also a lot of vile transphobic shit. You should browse it and influence them during that time. Post your wins here or even better, post them as threads, dunktank style.

There's a lot of meta-discussion, (both good and :reddit-logo:) happening on https://www.reddit.com/r/WorkReform/ - Looks like mostly bad, go flame them and tell people to leave it.

There's also https://www.reddit.com/r/WorkersStrikeBack/ doing meta-discussion

Edit: the main sub is back. Go there are fight fed narratives. Browse new to get a word in early, and post your win screenshots to /c/agitprop

    I challenge you to find any other website that has a less transphobic community than here,

    I mean, I'm sure we're not perfect, but from community policy down to the development priorities of the software this site runs on this has been among our most primary concerns.

        I remember. You're right. Take it from me. I've been a complete slacker as far as contributing to the site goes, but when that happened I was furloughed from work due to the economic impacts of Covid. Basically, r/ChapoTrapHouse got banned from Reddit then a week later I got called into a meeting to inform me that half of the company is being laid off.

        For a few months I was able to collect unemployment and do nothing but work on this shit. I added the database schema and back-end API for the pronoun feature on this website - part of the (but far from the only) reason it is now incompatible with the upstream Lemmy project. I was thinking at the very least, this will be a great way to piss off the chuds and drive them away from the site, and I guess I was right, but the ensuing meltdown cut deeper than expected. None the less, I think it was all for the best.

        We have struggle sessions from time to time. Then disingenuous hacks come piling on to say this is the end of the site, but it keeps going.

        You're also right though that the mods deal with an onslaught that most of us are privileged not to see.
