what if instead of getting rid of main, we just banned everyone from main?
authoritarianism is when you don’t want transphobia on your site
Remember when the old sub mocked Reddit’s “you upvoted a no-no post” system where opaque mods would thought-police people into toeing an undefined and liberal political line? And then how the mods wanted to bring that system of vote-spying here?
A lot of things are bad when done by bad people for bad reasons, but OK when done by good people for good reasons. See: violence.
The only real effect of having done that seems to have been slashing activity here though.
it's bullshit that downvoting was disabled but not upvoting. I will not be satisfied until chacha is turned into a YaBB board and we can just simply emptyquote all the good posts to show our support
i mean it was definitely implied to be temporary.
Removing downvotes
For the next couple weeks, we will be piloting the removal of downvotes.literally you said this
Yeah, it was a pilot and it went really well and most people liked it, so now it's been serialized

Yeah here the mods just go into your upvote patterns to determine if they like what you think or they should ban you. Much more conducive to a space for discussion and not an echo chamber.
I’m sorry folks, but All Mods Are Bastards. Don’t make me tap the sign.

this is a bit
You idiot, you absolute moron, don't you know that John Brown posts and TERF spam posts are exactly the same??
