Asking our marginalised comrades be very fucking careful during struggle sessions like this because you know shitheads like to take advantage during times like this. Particularly of the concern troll variety. I don't want vulnerable people being targeted.

This is the only post I'm going to make about this stupid thing.

      Yeah, as far as I understand, it seems like a couple of our mods were shitty? (Please correct me if I'm getting it wrong this shit is so confusing.) I get the feeling it's something that could be easily capitalised on by wreckers and that worries me.

      I'm having a hard time figuring this whole thing out. Like, I usually have a good bullshit detector but I am so confused at who is in the right and wrong lately. It's frustrating.

        None of the mods were shitty, they just have opinions about the trajectory of the site they maintain and didn't communicate them effectively. Then a bunch of people read bad faith into the messaging and it spiraled from there.

        A lot of the userbase enjoys react/cringe content, a lot of the moderation team doesn't, and that's been a pressure point for a long time.
