I have no clue.

It feels fucked up to say given how many lives it destroyed, but in some ways, the pandemic was the best thing that ever happened to me. It let me start working from home. No longer being under the office panopticon or having to mask (in the autistic sense) for 8 hours a day was a massive load off of my back.

notably, the main purveyor of this line of bullshit was TC69, who is my top suspect for the deletions relevant to this conversation, which I only feel vaguely safe saying because she deleted her account.

how many of her fan club have mod/admin positions? am I on someone's Eternal Shitlist now because I am decidedly Not A Fan?

I know it can't really make up for all that's happened to you, but if it makes you feel even a little bit better, absolutely nobody in the mod staff (that I saw) was on TC69's side after finding out she was responsible for all this. A lot of us (myself included) were openly glad to see her go, and there are no plans to invite her back.

Just wanted to let you know I read this whole thing and I appreciate you taking the risk to make yourself vulnerable to say something you needed to say. Yeah, in a perfect world, nobody would need this site, and it's an indictment of our society that it's some people's only lifeline, but there's a big gap between "is" and "ought."

justice sensitivity is a well-known neurodivergent trait

Says a lot about our society that this is considered a disability trait.

It's about exactly that, yeah.

Republicans are the abuser, Democrats are the enabler.

You're a creepypasta protagonist, sorry you had to find out this way

We can honor the people who served

But we really shouldn't

Thank you for letting me know, I will help the labor disruptions

That tweet mkazin retweeted is pure NazBol shit.

"You have no business telling me I should be vegan, it's my personal choice" doesn't hold up even if you reject animal personhood.

the shit show around Cornel West

I'm out of the loop, what happened?

Second, I hope the claims of chauvanism and misogyny are not shelved, but investigated openly. I think a lot of the pushback against this was a lack of evidence presented, and the struggle around this aspect could have been lessened with a few examples. If we want this to be a safe space for marginalized comrades, marginalized comrades should have their voices respected when it comes to how they experience the site. I think the fact that these claims were discussed behind closed doors compounded the problems, and garnered undue pusback. The fact that several trans members have expressed issue with [he/hims] should be taken seriously. Edit 2: Speaking of, if I have contributed to this as a [he/him] user or as a white person in general, please let me know, even in DMs if you want to remain anonymous. I'll make a selfcrit post and do better, I promise, I'm stupid so please have patience, I want everyone to feel safe here like I do

Same goes for me. I don't always have the best social judgment. If I'm inadvertently hurting people, I want to know so that I can stop and improve as a person.

Endlessly postures about what a strong, superior breed of man he is, but all he can do is cowardly ambush a target much weaker than himself. Typical fash shit. It's just like how the IDF can bomb schools all day but disintegrates the moment it hits actual armed resistance.
