            Then why you here?

            Considering the push back OP is getting I think you’re getting pissed about a handful of users. This is still probably the most pro-ML open Internet forum I’ve encountered beyond a few now deleted Reddit subs that were half meant as jokes.

                “Hey Sandy, check out my new move, I call it the grouchy Chapo”

                “Stop naming moves after me”

                Everyone is a lib except for me

                “Well it’s true”

                Okay, I just eye roll a bit at people yelling about libs and the CIA every time they encounter users who have the unmitigated gall to have debates on here.

        Yeah, and it's because we don't have downvotes.

        I'm so disappointed seeing this shit float up to the front page.

            definitely contains some liberalism with CIA characteristics

            • "Is market competition more justifiable if its competition between co-operatives?"

            • "Not gonna lie, it feels pretty bleak right now for the left"

            • "Should we institute a mandatory vetting procedure for all new and existing users to combat the transphobic environment?"

            • "At this point, the only way the US can get Medicare for All is when China gets free universal healthcare first"

            • "How come the privatization of Japan National Railways didn't seem to produce as bad long-term effects as the privatization of British Rail did?"

              I love the Chapo bit where we reenact the The People's Front of Judea scene every thread

              How is this fed shit lmao?

              Most leftist discords do vetting and it works. I don't see why it wouldn't work here. It would literally help PREVENT "feds" (quotes because I dont believe this community is important enough for the feds to care) and wreckers.

                Literally reads like a talking point from the page on sabotaging organizations in the CIA sabotage field manual, which emphasizes sending things to committees and use of "proper channels" with no shortcuts

                  I don't think doing opsec through security vetting sounds like that at all. If anything "let everyone in, opsec gets in the way" is the fed sounding thing to me.

                    "Put a committee in front of signups" sounds extremely fed to me, especially in the internet era, and especially for a (former) lib-left pipeline group

                        Sure, but OP asked if his post history looked like fed stuff, that's one of the recent ones that has a fed smell to it 🤷‍♀️
