    As mod tools improve, it’ll only get harder and harder to efficiently wreck.

    Today’s wrecking is harder than yesterday’s, and tomorrow’s will be harder still.

      The mods just be grinding for experience to level up at this point

      It's a bit of a catch-22 cause if someone comes to check us out and wants to jump into the conversation, we don't want to hold them back, even if they're a lib (unironically)

          I mean as it stands we only need 3 minutes of comments to see that they aren't participating constructively.

      They’ve just put a karma threshold in place for creating threads, and rate limiting for commenting based on account age should be coming within the next wee while.

    As someone who hasn't been fully paying attention to the wreckers... Why John Kerry?

    Zara, if you read this, I’m pleading with you to stop.

    I knew when you wanted to immediately tell already grieving proles that their hero was a rapist that you had yet to develop universal empathy.

    Your behaviour, your ideology, your understanding of dialectics, it’s all broken in a dangerously borderline way that denies truth in synthesis, in the good and the bad within everything. You cannot see it. You cannot see reality.

    That’s why your empathy is so selectively applied to whatever you see as good and denied to that you see as bad. That’s you on the internet after posting with you on the internet for a year. That’s the ideology you’re spreading to children.

    Your child soldiers are still trailing you: guess what they’re doing? They’re using the fascist irony you taught them and threatening to purge the older communists (evidently, those of us who read theory) when they themselves only know Lenin through you!

    That’s you in real life. You’re dangerously smart but fundamentally unstable and need help right now. You have no idea of how much fascism and pain you are projecting right now back at your comrades.

        Don't take this too lightly. John Kerry posting was my personal 9/11 and I'm still overcoming the trauma in therapy

        Do you people realize you’re interacting with real people or not? Isn’t this the right left divide?

            oh, so what words would you allow on the internet with this idiotic idea of yours?

            Fascism. You fell for it.

                a total drain of useful energy at worst

                This is the main problem. There are little hundreds of people that have been involved in this for tens of hours. At least 30 of those people would have spent these hours on growth and outreach for the site.

                The waste of workhours that could be going towards something actually useful is ridiculous.

                On the plus side, it has simply highlighted the need for some more robust tools to deal with this kind of abuse and additionally that public-relations and time-management are factors to figure out. The team can't have so many people being sucked into this stuff.

                Sincerity is cringe, sincerity hurts fascists because they fundamentally cannot do it.

                You don’t take the internet seriously. You use it to overesteem your small acts of praxis.

                I don’t care to play your dumb fascist games.

                    Look upon yourselves as the unwitting pseudo-fascist deliverymen of copypasta for real Communists that you are.

                    You think capitalism invented a space where you can hurt other (very real) comrades and ironically joke about killing them and that you should use it in this manner? What the fuck has happened to your brains? They’ve been colonized.
