I've long suspected we had moles and wreckers among us, and it seemed like a bunch of users got fed up and summarily made their exit, which just happened to coincide with the aftermath of last week's events. I've seen other parts of alt-right social media go dark, if not outright censored. Was the writing on the wall?
Even if that were the case, the fact that transphobia was such an easy target for "wreckers" to exploit proves that there were underlying issues that we as a community needed to address. In a well maintained system, ops wouldn't even know where to start with us because we're that tight knit from the get-go.
We still have to show up for our comrades :ira:
It's just that the FBI is busy right now with the white supremacists. Once that's settled in the public eye they can go back to wrecking a tiny online leftist shitposting community.
But seriously, I emphatically agree with what @ocho said. Can't plant seeds in infertile soil. We gotta stop and address issues of transphobia within our community that gave wreckers an opportunity to sow discord.
