I've seen so many pictures of him looking at him like he's a pest. I think it'd be funny if he gave him the finger and Elon would be sooooo butthurt.

            Some people were banned for shitty behavior, but UlyssesT left at least a day before all that happened, simply because he wanted to spend his time doing other things

                Struggle session got a lil crazy, bunch of people got banned/deleted accounts/decided to take a break because it was a shitshow.

                Edit: shitty wifi causing message duplications because I think it doesn't process but it does

                  bunch of people got banned

                  why though ? did they break the rules ? ,what caused this ? was it the US Elections ? ,were they being libs about the results ?

                  sorry if I am asking too many questions but I am pretty confused ,I hope I am not breaking the rules

                  Also I have been here for 6 months or more and I still don't understand what does Struggle session mean ,English is not my first language and this particular phrase I have only ever seen it used by HexeBear (love you all)

                    Most of the answers can be found on main, but the main catalyst was the dredge/dunk tank being pulled without any input from the community beforehand.

                      thanks for answering ma'am , I was kinda sad they were removed but it's not worth getting banned over especially if it's true that the name for one of them has a racist origin ,have a good day comrade ,I am off to study for my finals (hope the mossad doesn't get me)

                        I've only been partially paying attention, but I don't think anybody was really mad about the name changes themselves, mostly the implied rule changes and the way it was handled without community input.

                        From what I've seen, most of the bans were pretty dumb and shallow, and those have basically all been reversed

                        Also struggle session is a term that comes from the Chinese revolution, but it really just means 'an argument' (as in, people are arguing) here

                        Good luck with your exams comrade o7

                        Good luck in your studies, also it seems Ulysses decided to purge himself. Idk what his reasoning was though.

                    It's used slightly differently from the origin of the term, for the past decade it's been used especially by the online left (semi-ironically?) to refer to a very drawn-out and public fight within a party, especially over doctrine.

          I see he did not survive the purge.

          I don't think that's correct. I heard Ulysses logged off again but more permanently to help build communism. He did it himself.
