I posted lightly about some of this stuff in the sub, but that unfortunately means the links are gone, and it's very difficult/time consuming to find them again on twitter. This stuff came up around late 2018 / early 2019 I think, but XR literally used to have a bunch of marketing speak on their website talking about "branding" and discovering new markets and new partnerships and all that. There used to be groups for 'XR Landlords' and 'XR Police' too. I guess these things in an allegedly organic decentralized movement could be foreseen, but seeing all that with the voluntary arrest stuff and disruption of mass transit really turned me off to the whole thing.

Edit: just found some links at the last second:

"XR landlords" as a search query will pull up all sorts of discussion about this stuff. I wish I had taken screenshots of all that marketspeak BS from their own site though, it's a little harder to dig up.
