This is good, don't let the overly protective and isolationist users attack you into taking it down or renaming it because the name is literally the only reason those users might want to come here.
Converting people over under a strongly left admin team is far better than building walls to keep only the most left leftists in.
Nice, complete misrepresentation of what I said, go off King.
Complementing your complete misrepresentation of what I said, you're welcome.
There is value in growing this place by adding users who can easily be converted and are teetering on becoming leftists by this eye-opening event to the point of upvoting AOC tweets, and Marx quotes, and clearly calling this a class war. Isolationism gets us nowhere as a site or a movement.
we don’t have the tools or resources to moderate it out effectively right now
If we don't have the tools or resources to grow this site then what is the goal here. And how do we accrue those resources without growing the userbase?
"Leave and convert people elsewhere, like on Reddit, but give them no alternative to Reddit" is not a feasible strategy because they slip back into the culture of WSB, which is what you're complaining about.
The "we outnumber them thing" doesn't apply anymore if the site's admin team is leftist and committed to that, which they clearly are. There is no war to be won over that like there would be on a subreddit, because we own the site.
The goal is the develop the tools so that we CAN manage a large influx of shit
For a perfect opportunity that comes along every what, once a year? This is the opportunity and the admins are clearly signaling that they are willing to make the attempt to progress, so who are you even arguing in defense of?
Seriously. Haven't we been having an ongoing engagement to try to root out the transphobes and shitheads for weeks now? Guess it's more important to meme and get a bunch of capitalist apologists at best in here.
All good, and I think the people even willing to come here with WSB still open and available are going to self-filter for the kind of people we want anyway.

I also believe people have no capacity to change and are either born communists or evil.
