      I’m no BMF historian, but as far as I can tell, Sealand_macronation was the first. (I got the full list from a comment by @DoctaaMonstaa)

      I’m really interested in why everyone remembers this user as BMF and not by any of the other usernames.

          That’s a good point! I’ll have to slog through the modlog one of these days to create a complete timeline so I can compare the account ages.

        They're honestly all really funny and clever names besides apparitionist. But I think BMF is where they really rose to fame.

    requesting a ban on jesse-wtf replies to BMF posts, they are never actually inscrutable

    Wait I didn't know they had usernames before black mold futures. Why did everyone call them that when they were originally called sealandmacronation?

      @Apolonio posited that the black_mold_futures account might’ve lived the longest?

      I could also see them really hitting their stride as black_mold_futures in a way they didn’t before? I’d have to read through all the old posts to be sure, though.

        BMF was during his bug loaf phase, which most BMF theorists consider his finest period of work. Now BMF has moved on to monkey torture which while more daring lacks the purity of his bugloaf work.

        it was definitely this for me, BMF was the first account of theirs that i noticed.

    As an anarchist, I do not feel threatened by BMF's "sectarian" posts, largely because we don't take those posts seriously anyway. Honestly, the pejorative use of "soy" in the style of the alt-right is more objectionable than saying "anarchists are CIA-adjacent". TBH I think the anarchist movement would be a lot better off if more anarchists kept their anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist priorities straight, and used "how often does my analysis line up with the Western political-economic power pole" as a barometer.

    I'm not gonna go so far as to generalize "I may not agree with you but I will defend to the death your right to say it" for everyone, but for this fellow I will definitely stand firm on that hill.

    We the mods recognize that you are critical of centralized executive power and subordination, and we're going to demonstrate this by banning a guy who strongly disagrees with you! :so-true:

      That’s pretty good, lol. But a little too coherent for my tastes.
