  • This, exactly this.

    The thing the Republicans do that give them a big advantage is take in anyone all flaws included. That’s real life. Ugly lumps and all. The do nothings don’t get the real world experience to know the ideal in their head doesn’t exist. They reject based on each individul grievance and this shrinks power over time.

    Tin foil hat, given what we know of heritage foundation and others, I wouldn’t doubt if these were modern bot accounts really driving this holier than thou attitude among the left.



  • I don’t care. We can’t keep relying on people here. The furry internet mods of the internet who hide at the first hint of confrontation. You know at some point we have to be critical of ourselves as a reason Trump won. If i was on a baseball team and half the team doesn’t show up and the other half that does show up decide to not even play the game then at some point we need to admit the reason we lost isn’t just because the other team did something, that partially the reason we’ve lost everything in decades is due to the actions of our own team or lack thereof. But one thing I know for sure, we need more of Graham to inject some fuck you energy back into the left of MAGA side.










  • I would say it was more like many places early on tried to build places that were community powered but it always went to a more hierarchical structure. Much like how capitalism and enshittification works. Over time, the people who really want something a certain way will get their way. We were headed in a good direction with voting. Then it’s like we just forgot about it. That feature turned into the most useless thing. Remember when sites all got rid of it at the same time? That was weird right. Maybe not so weird if they were all doing it because of outside pressure. Now we still have up and down arrows but they don’t do nothing



  • I don’t know which is the whole point of finding community solutions. No single person has the solution. A community develops it over time.

    This was suppose to be a leftist leaning spaces. If they can’t fucking figure out how to moderate how do they expect to implement any of the core ideals. Cooperatives for example are exactly that.

    Mods are the patriot act of the internet. It’s clear now looking back that the same shock doctrine that applied in every other part of life to limit freedoms and keep us controlled were applied to the internet as well. The barrage of CSAM across sites was the false flag that meant we all responded by giving away community based control to a handful of moderators, often times it was moderators who controlled 100s of other forums.

    It’s all to avoid another Egyptian spring. It’s to keep your group from joining this other group. We’re all on our neat little boxes. Boxes that are used to suffocate rather than grow. How many times a day do you need to see post asking which is your favorite marvel character to realize the fucking hell moderation as created.


  • Automation plus mods are there to handle CSAM. Mods should be a nuclear option. But again give communities more control. Mods are not uphold an ever growing list of vague rules like cops who arrest and beat citizens for “resisting arrest”. It’s a system of abuse.

    But ask yourself who has massive amounts of CSAM to randomly post across the internet to force an expansion of measure and control. Sounds a lot like something we know governments do.

    For decade I’ve heard this defense that if mods weren’t there, we’d have CSAM in every corner of the internet. Much like if we didn’t have American military invading rural villages and dropping bombs on schools then we wouldn’t have any freedoms.

    Look at reddit. We only found out a little bit of who mods were. Some were powerful people. Some were just marketing teams. It’s control. If you’re all leftist and you support mods you’re a class traitor.
