I'm trying to rephrase something I read previously but the long and the short of it was: Identifying and outing feds by behaviour *can be a losing strategy, because it can lead to hostility towards otherwise honest behaviours, discriminate against ND users who don't fit 'normal' behaviour patterns and even if you do accurately out and eject someone they are just the fed that you noticed, those who are better at concealing their activity or who otherwise don't raise suspicions can still get by and you're given a false sense of accomplishment. There's a reason why fedjacketing is not permitted here. The better approach is to have robust systems in place that defang or reduce the scope for hostile actors to gather information, distrupt, or dismantle. It's a bit like how people say that in the USA, Marxist reading groups of just a half dozen people are infiltrated. At a certain size of org you'll probably have to accept that you're being monitored.

(edit: i think this is all stuff I gleaned from reading about cops at protests, and people being like 'omg they're so obvious you can see the outline of their gun and their shoes are so pristine' and someone was like 'well, yeah, they're just the ones you noticed')

Goat can't figure out if it's an arse or breakfast tbh so no wonder

The consolation I take is that it appears the majority of the admin/mods are acting in what they believe is the community's best interests, and the wrecking/sabotage is opportunistic rather than planned, i.e. using the cover of all of this stuff to rile up animosity and take out personal vendettas.

The upshot is that once the dust settles, the wreckers will be more apparent/obvious and I don't think they will have made any substantial headway.

That's not to say that everyone who's running hot/has a grievance is a wrecker, so that's where the confusion/stress/uncertainty comes in for me, cos I don't want to think that comrades I've been posting alongside have just been waiting for fog-of-war before flipping and becoming hostile, or that the mod team was spiked from the gecko. But that's jacketing so I'm not gunna go there.

On mobile I either get the loading loop like OP, or get this prompt to log in/sign up (which shows up weirdly. No prompts to view as guest).

I used to have the app and opening URLs would prompt to either continue on browser or switch to app. Occasionally on the loading loop it gives the error message 前方拥堵，请稍后重试 The page you are trying to access is (congested) please try again later. For me at least I think it's a browser compatibility issue and not a geo blocking issue afaict

Neither but im happy here

If you're on phone, I think it tries to pull up a 'View in app or download' prompt, which times out. If you can go 'View desktop site' you may be able to get around it. (I also occasionally get an unskippable signup prompt when viewing in mobile, but it goes away when swapping to desktop view)
