I got banned from the new Chapo website lol
old.reddit.com
Subreddit primarily focused on critiquing identity politics from a Marxist perspective.

"The admins of chapo.chat are going on a banning spree for all TERFs and "transphobes" based on if users downvote posts that have anything to do with being trans. I downvoted a comment that said the admins should absolutely ban people based on their voting record lol. And since I didnt have a comment/post history, I'm apparently a Nazi TERF plant sent there to make LGBTs uncomfortable with using the website in an attempt to rid them from the "leftist movement".

It's amusing that everyone there is nostalgic for Stalin and Mao, and cartoonishly voice their full support for them every fucking day, I'm sure they would have fully supported the LGBT movement. I'm never leaving stupidpol again, I love all of you nazi [r-slur]s."

Bonus: "I was unbanned. I apparently only have one downvote left that Im allowed to use. Thank you benevolent moderators of Chapo.Chat. I promise to never downvote again."

This was very much unexpected and not predictable at all.

Edit: the op deleted it :party-sicko:

Edit 2 : It seems the above is fake news and the supidpol mods deleted it for damage control or something idk.

      The ban on sectarianism is just a ban on disagreement effectively

      I kinda agree with this, actually.

        nah, only the low effort "anarkiddies" / "tankies" shit actually gets banned. actual critique and discussion happens all the time.

        if you think calling people "tankie" or "anarkiddie" is valuable disagreement/discussion idk what to tell ya, dude

        we get serious discussion here all the time. go scroll through the modlog for the stuff removed for sectarianism. without fail, it is all just mindless insulting / shitslinging toward massive groups of people for not being ML/anarchist enough

            well lets take a look through the modlog together, then, shall we?

            "tankie is the real enemy to the revolutionary" says user ... "imperialchina." yeah, certain we'll be getting a lot of valuable discussion about our differences from this unbiased and level-headed individual

            "anarchists are super embarassing larpers ngl" says another user. cant believe the mods removed this important insight

            "Is this what passes for anarchist theory?" (entire comment, referring to a twitter thread) by a very well-read intellectual.

            "The only difference between Tankies and Fascists is racism,cultural fetishism, and capitalism and even all that shit's fucking debateable" says a picture removed for sectarianism, though I think the point of the picture was to laugh at this statement. dunno about this removal

            literally just this picture with the title "Lib test, don't fail" and then another post in the same vein by the same user

            then another post i dont have context on because it and whatever it was replying to were pretty thoroughly nuked

            and then "Left unity is a bad meme. Big tent shit is just liberalism." (entire comment)

            so much valuable discussion being SILENCED by the anarcho-stalinist cabal of admins

              Is any of that "valuable discussion"? No, of course not. It's just bullshit.

              But should people be able to handle seeing that bullshit without running to the mods? Yeah, I think so.

                lol come on, you cant just move the goalposts on me like that. first you claim that the stuff being removed for sectarianism isnt just mindless shitflinging, now you're saying that it is mindless shitflinging but it should be left up anyway

                what are you actually trying to say? be honest with me

                  Just leave it all up unless it devolves into personal attacks, "mindless shitflinging" or not.

                  That's what I'm actually trying to say.

                    ok cool. why? do we really want to be 4chan where the only people who are allowed to use the site are those who are perfectly happy to have open abuse flung at them 24/7? because that's what happens when you refuse to moderate absurd toxic shitslinging. the shitslingers keep shitslinging, the non-shitslingers leave, the site is now a site for shitslinging and nothing else
