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.

    This is has been a ugly one. Easily the worst since VCJ. And what's worse is that it could have easily been avoided with the benefit of hindsight

        Foucaults already replied with Egon's timeline but if you want my TLDR:

        The root of it has been the admins/mods lack of transparency and overreach (both in the past and in this current incident), but honestly that kinda goes with the territory of operating a social space on the internet.

        Additionally there's been a re-litigation of the site's age-old dichotomy between being a serious revolutionary org and being a shitposting chill-out space, as pushing towards the former is what is assumed to be the motivation for the admins overreach, but this time people are taking it really personally because the wrecker successfully got us to point fingers at each other and a lot of people have been catching strays.

        RN it's probably best to wait and chill, Lyudmila will give us an update within a day or 2 with probably a better account of what happened and a plan of action forward. We can all decide what to do then
