wreckers have this cute pattern, especially at the beginning of the site, where they’d cycle through topics trying to melt everyone down
this worked a couple times, the most successful being over veganism. they made alts of both vegans and nonvegans, got normal users to bite on :both-sides:, and posted racist shit “as a vegan” from new accounts named shit like “AnCap” or “JustAskingQuestions”
this was comboed with the last attempt this site made to bring over another large reddit sub. every time the mods tried to do this, a struggle session would miraculously appear. Our long-suffering jannies finally realized this was a bad idea and stopped doing lifeboat comms after this.
This vegan strug sesh caused a whole meltdown to the point were obvious trolls were doing digital blackface as POC, which then stressed out and understandably pissed off actual POC comrades. Many of these POC comrades were vegan, many were not. The fact that wreckers managed to get the struggle session to “are you vegan or are you against racism” was fucked up and also impressive.
Most of the mod and dev team apparently reached their “fuck it” point and left. Mods turned off new account registration for two weeks and mostly disappeared. This sucked because I got banned for being a shithead and had to lurk for at least a week lol
