I just got back from my 16 day ban. I missed the ban thread and wanted to paste my comment to see if anyone cared to respond. Dom has a hard on for me and a few other users because we keep busting his balls for censorship and we like railing against jewish supremacists.
But to my point: Dom isn't that bad. Hes not insane (probably) nor a jidf (probably). And he's actually gone enough so we actually get some free speech discussion. I imagine it's because he has a life and is not a tranny online only redditor.
But his issue is that he's trying to curate this board into his own idea of what we should be instead of what the userbase actually is. We are a bunch of gamers, christians, right wingers, autists and historians, and we all argue about these things, which includes a lot of hot button politics. But thats this community, not some reddit tier safe space. The whole internet is becoming a safe space, we dont need another. I myself migrated here from conpro and kia2 on reddit after the banning of t_d and its way better here having real discussions.
He is trying to direct this community towards what he thinks we should be. The community is the community. A mod coming along and telling us we need to be something else is not his place. He needs to keep illegal shit off the board and beyond that stfu about the direction it is going.
My issue is this: kia2 is a hotbed of based discussion and if he keeps stomping the community's free speech people will just abandon this place completely and he can hang out with Imp1, gizortnik, and himself. I dont want to see that happen to this place.
My advice to Dom: clean up pedo shit/illegal shit/porn spam and leave the discussion to the users. You are a moderator, not a King. We are a text board community, not your acolytes.

Gaw is q bullshit ya? Like some rando schizo posting about how the deep state heroes are actually winning?
Nnn was good when coof stuff was big but I find kia2 has better discussions in general.
GAW is Q focused, yes, but it's also more than that.
Their community was less combative in their discussions when compared to some other "right-wing" forums, and, GAW was a great information compiler for the types of (non-Q) content I was interested in.
Another WIN forum I forgot about was conspiracies, don't frequent there as much anymore either. I think some of their prominent members left, it seemed like it dropped off a while back.
Agreed, that's what I like about KIA2 as well.
Anything q focused makes me tune out. I've never seen anything compelling about that argument.
It doesn't help that the few people I've met in real life that believed in Q seemed legitimately mentally ill.
I can see how Q related would cause one to tune out
For better or worse, I tend to try to filter out anything I don't like, and keep what I do, rather than ignore it all entirely
However, that might come at the cost of the stuff I don't like rubbing off on me slowly.
Good points, I should swing by there. I've always gravitated to kia2 because of my background in gaming maybe.
Conspiracies is great, but there are only like 3 guys left that make all the content and it can get somewhat stale after a while. I think the ending of Covid restrictions in the US and the change from .win to scored really impacted new members coming in.
They've always been a bit light on content, but yes, there is something that feels different about the community.
I think a lot of our "right wing" communities lost something when COVID restrictions ended.
Resistance to the jab mandates was (temporarily) strongly unifying for us.
Definitely the boon for us. Hopefully enough people passed through these types of forums to get our ideas out into the real world.
