You’re not going to get banned for a “shit take” and this tiny insignificant struggle sesh is not going to stop us from growing and being as active and funny as we were, for fuck’s sake. The site like month’s old and it’s just had its first big user spike. Do you know how long it took for chapo to reach the insane level of activity it had before the ban, and how many similar issues/drama it had to go through?

The good thing about this place is that we can actually get rid of the shit we couldn’t on reddit because it was reddit, and that includes being a space that’s just a tiny bit nicer for trans & enby peeps, and being tougher on specifically transphobic and exclusionary shit related to that. How in any way that’s incompatible with “leftist energy” or being funny is beyond me.

This is like “muh freeze peach”/“we can’t say anything or we get cancelled” or stupidpol bullshit, shit take =/= transphobic/stupidly exclusionary stuff that nobody wants to fucking see, jfc.
