As someone who followed gg at the beginning but not too closely (although I am very much for what it’s message is ) I wasn’t aware that there were ever 2 KiA. Could someone give me the cliffs notes version of what happened?
I did notice that KiA had a “whitelist” and a “blacklist” on topics to be discussed which put me off a bit.
Funny thing is, they used "admins are making us" as the number one excuse for these things, but with no reddit admins forcing them here, you're seeing their true colors.
Yeah I wondered why the rule list was so freakin long. Half of that shit is Reddit-enforced stuff.
I was a little bit amused when one of the first things one of the moderators said was that they would enforce the identity-group-thingy. Here. On .win.
I mean KIA2 did too. On reddit. Because reddit said so.
Did we? Some stuff obviously goes over the line, like 'niggers are subhuman and should be lynched', or trying to make this another Stormfront. But the lengths to which we have to take it on Reddit, no.
There were a lot of "This post constitutes an attack on a group based on identity bla bla bla" (paraphrasing here) posts on KIA2. At least when you read it half a day late, like I do because I live on the other end of the world.
Of course I cannot say how many of them were of the 'niggers are subhuman and should be lynched'-variety but I am sure there were enough that were less harmful.
If i remember correctly, Domitius sometimes commented how much he hated to enforce this rule when he still bothered to comment. I understand why he stopped though, the rule was overly vague and completely bonkers to enforce.
If you want an idea head over to KiA2 Reddit and read the post from HandOfBane about how by his grace the KiA2 community are allowed to continue and how he'll give us one more chance to behave ourselves.
