TC69 probably isn’t who you want to be invoking on the issue of silly arbitrary changes by admins against the wishes of the userbase…

People enjoy making fun of people that you’re not allowed to make fun of in c/gossip, clearly.

what we are merely doing is forbidding low-effort dunking on private people, which we think is toxic and boring

Then block the comm and pretend it doesn’t exist. Why do you have to ruin other people’s fun?

But also before the ban they were our first real “power-poster”, and a mod, and allegedly a collective of people under one account, which possibly explains how they posted so much.

The big turning point was when they made fun of “We love our trans comrades” posting, during the TC69 ultraviolence era. They caught a ban and then went of the deep end a bit with wrecker-alts.

A powerful poster

An ancient poster from a bygone era.

reason: No goodbye posts

lmao

it should literally be illegal for a forum mod to call anyone else a ‘nerd’

If you were banned (permabanned, we didn’t have tempbans back then) you could make an alt and request an unban. Often they’d just be ignored but if the ban was controversial - if the user was a big name, or if the mod decision was particularly bizarre - the threads would just explode and the userbase would just argue about it.

We used to have a comm like that, and all it brought was drama lmao

there were suggestions of a c/selfcrit being thrown around then

Are we gonna start doing actual struggle session?

Admins have used burner accounts since the Beatnik doxxing. I assume they’re a new admin, but not a new user.

Yeah, they’re usually a voice of reason I feel, but this comment is just wildly patronising.

Is 40 uses not a lot for a razor? I feel like the blades on mine start dulling well before that.

Is “overused” code for ‘popular’?

I what material way? It all seemed like surface-level larping to me. I’ll believe they wanted it, but it didn’t seem like there was any planning or substance.

Genuinely curious to know if there was actually some deeper conspiracy, but all the coverage I’ve seen has painted it as little more than playing.

But what if I actually am simply the greatest person ever to exist?

Religion in China has been entirely neutered and completely divorced from any political power. Churches are firmly under the thumb of the state and house churches trying to avoid these restrictions are illegal. You literally can’t be even a low-level public servant and openly religious beyond vague spiritual folk practices on holidays.

China’s absolutely tolerant of religious people existing, and are tolerant of religion as a personal concept, but in my mind they’re absolutely anti-religion in an organised form.

Can you link these Marx writings you keep referencing? I’m curious how he’d explain countries like China being so anti-religion, in practice if not in rhetoric? Can they just afford to be because they’re post-revolution if not yet post-capitalism?
