Correct as well. But someone willing to put in the effort to try and repent (however that may be) has shown a willingness to act on their newfound beliefs instead of merely speak them. Which puts their trustability at a higher level than a turncoat.
Asking for apologies is just pure self-ego-stroking
That's why I don't ask for them. I simply don't accept someone coming up to me with them either, which is what most try and do. If you are on the opposite side from me, on whatever line is drawn, then you are my opponent not a "potential convertee." If you wish to change sides, you need more than an "oopsie poopsie I was retarded once, but now I'm not retarded at all plz take me in!"
In that vein, for example, you've put in considerable efforts to be on this side of the SJW divide just by maintaining numerous of these dumb little spaces in which we can speak, including trying to salvage KIAPrime's decent into its own ass. No apology was ever needed, you simply put in effort and that should be enough for anyone who would hold your past against you (I don't know of it, nor care).
make it easier to be good rather than hard.
There is a vast land of choices between "hard" and "completely free, no questions asked." If that minor hurdle is too much for them, then they weren't worth bringing over to begin with and would only bring the overall strength of your side down, whether by infighting or "light Wokeness" rot like concern trolling.

I believe that's what's called an honest (because costly) signal. I don't object to that. I object to useless theatrics like demanding an apology, or staging an inquisition for someone who wants to leave the dark side as soon as he leaves.
Let people evolve at their own pace and then judge. Because people don't change everything from one day to the next. Just being open-minded and being exposed to differing perspective than the prevailing one will do wonders for a lot of people. People are also more wed to opinions that they form on their own, rather than ones that are accepted by group pressure.

Well, no one would even know if I hadn't said anything. And I've always found people to be remarkably tolerant of past transgressions, even people who don't otherwise like you.

Well, this place has basically the hard-core anti-wokes, and it seems that infighting is more rampant than anywhere.
You don't need to admit people on an equal par to people who have been active for years. But it's good to be welcoming, to be nice. There's never a guarantee that they will be useful, but there's no harm in trying.

As do I, but I do think there is a process to be had. You don't open arms from day one, and you don't open your backside until they've proven themselves able to not stab it. Whereas most people on this side of the line are happy to welcome any ally who simply says the right things. From good ol' IMC, to Candace Owens, to now the detrans-ers.

I'm aware, its why I keep finding myself in the position of asking "but what are you actually mad about" only to get buzzwords and outrage bait youtube videos back. Most seem more interested in being mad and finding ways to dismiss everything that they see, instead of actually figuring out what the problem really is.
Which is where the irony comes in. While I demand that higher bar to welcome someone in compared to most on "our side," I'm also not interested in trying to sniff out Jews and shills and subversives in our ranks to throw them out.
