It's a pity we have to watch the republic burn from this site, but at least it's good to have other like minded folk and not-so-like-minded-folk here that can see what transgressed the past two days was an absolute mess. We'll have to rebuild, but damn is it gonna be a long rebuilding process.

I had been pestering the KiA mods to create one as well for a long time, ever since they removed the 'Voat' link from the sidebar.
One of the motivations was that if they know they can scatter us by just banning us, then they will be more likely to do so than if banning us will result in us gathering elsewhere, from which we organize and decide how to appropriately respond.
They did make one, its just so dead on their win its almost funny. Not just dead of content, but despite having 6x the mods we have they still have "Temp" rules stickied to the top from 6 months ago. So they can't even blame users when they themselves gave it zero thought.
There is no reason to join it anyway when their ridiculous rules are the same as they are on Reddit.
Thus proving that the rules were not due to fear of the admins unless as the leftist say it has become internalized.
I never opposed the rules that were due to the admins, and to their credit, they never lied to me about those either. That is why when KiA changes its sitewide enforcement, KiA2 does too.
I have always only opposed their retarded rules of choice, which they imposed because they believe they have a right to infallibly determine what is 'relevant'.
That fucking point system and "Rule 3". Fuck that shit.
I assume that's why they initially labelled it "temp rules" while they were supposed to be ironing out what could be allowed and what was still "necessary."
But they never came back and just left it the same. Its a completely abandoned place.
Why are you not a mod here?
The better question is: why am I a mod there? I'd like not to be. But we've gone from crisis to crisis over the past 1.5 years, and I am the only one who has some small amount of experience dealing with the admins.
To answer your question: there are no obnoxious admins here. While it's a bit of a problem (as long as our Reddit exists) when some of the worse edgy statements are not removed quickly and thus can be used as a reason to spamfilter links to this place or to even ban our subreddit, I think that will take care of itself soon enough by our Reddit being banned for completely unrelated reasons.
I see, thanks for everything!
And thank you for your kind words.
Ditto what u/Bruvazz said. Thank you for all your work. Pretty damn scary to see the authoritarians and statists clamping down the way they are. I never thought I would see it.
Fuck it. I'm gonna get more into woodworking so I can at least learn a skill and have some nice, handmade pieces while things fall apart.
learn to grow food as well.
Real life is always more sensible than social media.
For example German twitter is full blown left-wing hysterics: wear your mask, social distance, blablabla. Just went for a walk outside for an hour and saw hundreds of people and not a single mask in sight.
Thats how it is outside most of the major cities here too. I live in a city that is large by local standards by fairly small overall (about 55k), and for all of the fuming from the mayor the mask mandate has very...strange compliance (you see people wearing them, but plenty dont and there is no real fear except from the mayor). Then in most of the surrounding counties, not only are the mandates much less enforced, in some the sheriff straight up wont enforce it.
And far from suffering economically, we are doing pretty damn well. I see almost every building flying "help wanted" signs, offering more than min wage and actually pretty good for local standards, its in just about every field with most being full time jobs, and almost all of the local business and industries have been surviving just as well, to the point that some are even closing to do renovations they have wanted for a while and now they have the funds.
Its only in the cities where people are overreacting and going all in on the hysteria, and I honestly cant tell if its just virtue signaling or if they are really that far out to lunch.
