The mods have shown how they do not care about the posters opinions they just ban people whenever they fgeel like it. Take a look at the mod logs if you care youll see these weird ban reasons like "wrecking" and "sectarianism". The reason why these terms exist is to attack the people with different opinions and the way they get silenced is by the power the mods and admins use. Ive asked so many times for democratic moderation why is it that we cant have it? If the mods gave a shit about their "socialism" as much as their "democratic control over the means of production" wouldnt they give the posters even have the power to influence bans?

          You realize the US has played a huge role in oppressing literally entire continents, right? Am I fucking crazy or? Uh? Are you okay? I'm not saying Assad is great, but saying the US is better than Assad is one hell of a thing to say. 🤡

                                  do you not see how when you try to argue angrily and in bad faith no one listens, at all, because why would they care about your badfaith snipe. Illuminate your position calmly or log off, anything else fails all your stated goals and just makes you a laughing stock. For real, if you want what you say you want you're doing a bad job and I really am trying to help ya

                                      that's like saying I caught my dog who got out of the yard in a coordinated effort to stop him from running to his hearts content, rather than to stop him from getting hit by a car

                                      no I'm not calling you a dog it's just a bad metaphor but you get my point, just please log off and take a breath, for real :(

                                              My efforts in these comments here have been my attempts to help out someone who was a comrade and seems to be going though some shit right now, and that means motivating you to log off because otherwise you're actively inviting being harassed and bullied, and based on everything you've said that seems to be your real goal because you've ignored or waived away everything everyone has said

                                              The fact that what I've done and said comes off to you as me being controlled by some shadowy cabal is concerning, because the only thing I've done related to the mods here is say that I personally trust them and that what I was hearing (and not seeing) from you wasn't enough to trump that trust. You keep saying you wanted input from the posters right?

                                              But when I give my input, as a poster and someone who deeply cares for this community and the people in it, you accuse me of being a puppet for the mods lol
