Recently, we have been targeted by SJW dimwits. [A further elaboration is on the Reddit, and I can send it to any trusted user who asks, but since this is publicly viewable, I'm not stating it here.] As a response, I have made KiA2 private for the time being. It's become a bit too dangerous to be up right now.
If you are a good user, or you can show me a comment prior to the privating that shows you being hostile to Social Justice, you will of course be granted access.
Now, I do consider it quite likely that this action will kill the sub, in that our traffic will decline to being a blip. But it's still less likely than our possibility of being banned, which should tell you everything about the current situation. Since I created this sub, I view it as my responsibility to do whatever it takes that the people who put their trust in me and others, to ensure the survival of the community.
I take full responsibility for this action, whether it results in good or bad. Indeed, if they are really out for blood, which is quite likely actually, this may hasten our demise. They may take the privat'ing as an excuse to ban us straight away, alleging (without us being able to disprove it) that we are now using it to violate the rules of Reddit. I think that is less likely, because we are probably too small to be on the rader of the big guns.
I hope this results in many more people moving over to this place, where we are free from the restraints that Reddit imposes on us.
And of course, if you are upset with what has happened, you have every right to be. Dissenters still are not banned.
Before KiA2 disappeared, I noticed a sudden appearance of an....overzealous... commenter calling everyone "cucks". I took a look at their account history and that was their inly activity for two months (to constantly hit up KiA2's sub and harass the users there).
I'm not fond of the idea of any group being forced off of COLLABORATIVE platforms and we end up creating our own bubbles (Gab, Bitchute, .win sites, etc.) but i also believe that a free market allows for a company to shoot itself in the head (Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
I think if we create our own alternatives, they gotta be serious competitors that sincerely don't result in hyper-partisanship.
I've seen similar things happening to r/TheLastOfUs2 multiple times where recently made accounts would intentionally create homophobic or racist posts in order to bring it down. I think it's also in AHS's crosshairs.
I know the ones you mean, they got downvoted to hidden consistently and fairly politely.
Cheering on the worst aspects like end of the world cultists, not even the tribal "our team good, you bad"
What do they think they are going to get out of it? Is not like we were this huge influence and is not like we are going to change our minds or anything. Is it just an attempt to make us look bad and point fingers on how evil anyone right of Lenin is?
It was probably one of my alts. I deleted my reddit account in protest at the utter cowardice displayed by the KiA and KiA 2 moderators and have spent the last few months making an endless slew of alts that simply refuse to obey them and come back under new names as fast as they are banned. My goal is to bring people to .win, as remaining on reddit simply assures will never again mount effective operations.
