Given the absurdity of reaaons given for removing my comments and the style of this post, it seems like there is still a need for the mod team to do some self-crit around community management. No discussions, no explanations in light of mild criticism, just dropping the hammer from on high. Both of my comments were removed using bad faith assumptions that are inaccurate and zero people have talked to me about it.
I was already too embarrassed of this site's trigger-happy flippant modding and mod-driven struggle sessions to recommend it to anyone else anymore. I thought even my irl trans commie friends would dislike it, and lo and behold, when they found it themselves, they did (though it was during the TC69 return). I contributed materially to the site quite a bit in the early years (not comments/posts) so I felt a bit invested.
But things are not going in the right direction and I have no confidence in the admin/mod team.
Also don't forget that many (most?) self-proclaimed Western "anarchists" haven't even read Conquest of Bread. They're just there based on vibes and memes.
I feel for our anarchist comrades who have to constantly explain the basics to these "anarchists" at irl events. There are plenty of cool and legit anarchists but they're often crowded out by lazy liberals that just like the aesthetic.

I'll see some of you in other spaces.
