I'm surprised that place even exists still. It's an absolute hellhole nightmare. Every single day it's just one struggle session after another. From what I've observed, if you so much as say the wrong word and someone is in the wrong mood your ass is banned.
That community is by far a thousand times more toxic and disgusting than any of the hate-fantasies of "dUh gAmEr GaTes!" that they believe in their broken brains.
Sure, people may get into small arguments and disagreements here and there, but at least they get over it like adults and move on. They don't act like they're the victims of an actual hate-crime.
Can you imagine legitimately feeling hurt by mean words on the internet? I mean for real. How little of an actual life would you have to have in order to let words on the internet literally hurt you in real life? It's one thing to get a bit pissed at someone being a retard; it's something else entirely to feel emotionally impacted and say it triggered PTSD or some weird nonsensical crap like that. Yet, those people exist in droves in that place.
I've seen entire conversations where they spend entire paragraphs justifying a one sentence opinion and how they're not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. I can't even imagine the type of narcissistic nutcases that exist that people would feel compelled to preemptively placate them in such a way. It's all so vain, fake, and plastic. It's done more out of paranoia and fear of being ostracized — basically making sure to conform to the usual dogma — than it is actually caring about others; it's as disingenuous as it gets.
To get $4.5 million? No wonder the owner sold that shit. The person buying that shithole is buying a literal dumpster fire that's been on the brink of a complete collapse for a few years now. Their far-left Marxist inspired system has made the jannies and mods synonymous with the typical "elites" in those times of systems. It shows how quickly any community set up with such vacuous guiding principles like the ones they put in place immediately devolves into an authoritarian hellhole of censorship and corruption by those in charge.
I remember that Japanese Sales drama crap that just happened recently elucidating just a small portion of the corruption behind the scenes that's concomitant to that community — and from what I've heard, that's not even a fraction of it overall. There's been much more over the years.

From what I know of Resetera, the owner created it but otherwise took a step back from active participation in his own community. He knew it was a cesspool. But there's money to be made, damn it. He made out like a bandit.

How do they have any members left at all?

Because there's always an incoming stream of elitist pricks who think their farts smell better than anyone else's and know how to run the gaming industry better than anyone actually in it.

Alt accounts from people that were banned.

I don't know about that. I think they require you to dox yourself by using something like a work email to sign up. Mainly so they cancel you if you cross them, but it also has the effect of making ban evasion difficult.

Yup. We all know damn well anyone screaming about toxicity is the toxic one themselves and they'll poison any community they're allowed to participate in. I've found that the louder SJW's scream about a community being toxic the more chill it is. Like you said we're all adults here and don't need some loser posting from his mother's basement playing kindergarten teacher because some soy sucker's fee fees got hurt. We also tend not to attract these toxic cry bully types since they can't bait someone into getting banned for responding to their shitty behavior.
