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.
KiA2 formed when the mods at half KiA rammed through Rule 3 "no self posts" despite multiple votes making it quite clear that's not what the community wanted. Then they started adding civility rules that Shads ignores to this day, as a pretense to boot people upset about it, and ever since, have increasingly narrowed on the categories of "acceptable" content until the Literally Who's themselves are no longer "relevant".
KiA2 is KiA with better mods and more freedom of speech to discuss whatever we feel we want, the votes being the ultimate deciding factor as opposed to tranny janny fiat.
Thanks! I had a feeling that was kinda what happened based on the insane amount of rules KiA posted.
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.
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.
