      Rebr0 would have just perma banned the accuser and made a thread mocking them. The sooner we can distance ourselves from the old sub and probably chapo at large (except for Matt, he good) the better honestly. This community is :100-com: more grounded than the sub ever was. The old sub was irony poisoned to death, whereas here we have a healthy amount of detachment.

        Yeah chapo.chat really is great. I think this site has done a really good job at keeping some of the best aspects of the subreddit while getting rid of its worst excesses.

        Most complaints about chapo.chat I've seen stem from the idea that we take ourselves too seriously; that we believe posting is praxis or something. But I haven't seen much of that personally, at least not at levels any worse than what was going on with the subreddit.

        The biggest difference is that we prioritize the concerns of our marginalized comrades more than the subreddit did. Would definitely rather stick with that than return to the irony-poisoned culture of the old subreddit.

          the us prioritizing concerns of the marginalized and taking things too serious are connected for them, in my view.

          there are people who just dont vibe with doing things online or whatever and i respect that but most of those throwing that around usually are ironically detached terminally online dinguses that ended up outing themselves as class reductionists later and just think we're taking things to seriously by actually giving a shit instead of just shitposting "borderline" racist and ableist jokes all day.

          on rebros twitter they posted up there, he's making fun of our logo and someone was like "hue hue the last one was banned for being to ableist" lol yea, sorry the community isn't a fan of people coming here and throwing the r-slur around casually. youre so cool.

          Yeah posting as praxis is seen as a fun in-joke rather than an actual dogma which is good. That's what I love about it here, that we boost the voice of our marginalized comrades.

              He's been tweeting about it for the past few days. Imagine spending your time on Twitter complaining about a niche online website

              He's always been a shithead. I suspect he's a lib since he did work for Beto's campaign after all. But if he's behind this or apart of this then yeah it'd put him into chud territory, trying to weaponize a sexual assault allegation is scumbag shit.

                  I also never liked his hair-trigger banning style, it made the mod team look shitty

                  His fun little trick was banning you for "abusing the report button". I was on the receiving end of that once.

          I highly doubt it. In all likelihood it'd be one of the cumtown splinter communities, as they've been angry at us for banning their users and they've been trying to doxx members of the community. Granted, they tend to fixate specifically on trans users, but I think Beatnik was simply an easier target due to being much more open about himself and being the founder. Stupidpol or some random chuds could've done it as well.

          I get he's kind of being obnoxious and bitter, but he's never done anything like this before. Like false SA accusations are extremely rare because most people just don't have it in them to do something that fucked up, it'd probably be whoever's mad about SA accusations being taken more seriously and nothing this dude's done suggests he's a hardline antifeminist. The people who keep albums of revenge porn to dosx women with seem like a much more likely culprit than some random ass salty Reddit mod.

          Wow rebr0 lives this rent free in everyone's heads without even posting here...

          Sub getting nuked was a good thing, after looking back on it. Ppl here have seriously lost their minds lmfao

        This is SOP for Reddit, generally speaking. Admins will apply the same scorched earth approach to the Mods themselves, if the Mods aren't complicit. And even when the Mods are complicit... well... nods head towards the blacked char of the original subreddit.

        As someone who was rolling up a new Reddit account every six months or so, this community has been a decided breath of fresh air, give or take a StruggleSession.

        If the Coyote's goal is simply to feed himself why doesn't he just eat the steaks jesus christ

        Also I suspect this memory is the Mandela effect in action, the Coyote had a tendency to set traps like these using birdseed which as an obligate carnivore he cannot eat

          Counterpoint: The Coyote is a dumb motherfucker who once bought a superman outfit and thought it could make him fly, so jumped off a cliff. That one definitely genuinely happened.

            Countercounterpoint: The Coyote actually can fly. It does not fall until made aware that it's no longer on solid ground. As long as it isn't aware of gravity it is fine, suggesting that the falling is due to some sort of strong self doubt. Buying the costume might have been an attempt to trick itself into overcoming this self-doubt.

      At Reddit they prided themselves in giving "Community moderator awards" to ViolentAcrez. So this is a step up.

        There's a name I haven't heard in forever. Reddit truly was completely fucked right from the get-go.

          A collection of subreddits actively blacklisted Gawker for "doxxing" ViolentAcrez (despite the dude's willingness to get interviewed and having made merch of his Snoo avatar) and claimed that was free speech. Doting and loving essays about how ViolentAcrez made them the mods they were today and helped them moderate. Fucking barf.

        I mean the first beer I ever drank a whole bottle of was an imperial IPA. I guess that's why that didn't register for me, the $200 steak through the mail definitely raised more questions.
