Some of bans for people calling this out on ree dont appear to be logged at all on the banbot and i could of sworn i saw posts simply vanish...but the kiwifarms site has been having some technical issues which is pretty convenient so there is no way to verify...anybody notice anything strange?
@captainraincoat kiwi has been getting DDoS'd for the last week or so I think. Voat is having problems of today though which is a coincidence maybe.
That captainraincoat guy really is leaning hard on this full blown conspiracy angle about the downfall of GAF. While it's possible the idea of splitting was already making the rounds, perhaps has started gestating more concretely and GAF mods were fairly disenchanted at that point, it wasn't exactly a mystery that the foundations were rotten. "Stab in the back" legend really is a pretty apt comparison but I guess it's not a surprise that's how some rationalize it.
https://www.neogaf.com/threads/resetera-and-the-pedo-problem.1487380/page-12#post-254576026It's not exactly a new thing that large Internet communities will have a strata of layers (some being insiders circle) in different sites, mediums or locations with some different standards of what's acceptable to say or not. ERA does seem to really be Discord/Clique-heavy, both in quantity of the channels and how much seem to happen there and it may periodically bite them in the ass. But to me the most glaring example of the community being unhealthy is how on the boards themselves you're allowed to do some "meta bitching" or "backseat moderate" openly in select so-called Community threads (or in that Sexualised Designs one) sometimes up to casting general aspersions on the plebe or even callouts by names (obligatory "Slayven can you fix this"). Talking shit of people behind their backs or being grumpy is a well understood human tradition (Obligatory "Have you seen the thread you post in ?") but I'm always astounded that people do it just right there, it's like moving two meters away from a group and shouting "wow this people are a bunch or morons, have you seen X ? I sure hope the popo will bust his ass" without even closing a door or something. Now that's a level of passive-agressive I don't recall ever being tolerated anywhere else than on GAF/ERA even on large boards because it's so obviously poison.
