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.
I'm alright with you closing the kia2 reddit sub. I'm not alright with you incentivizing getting back in just to learn more about why it happened. I think it's a conflict of interest.
I'm especially frustrated because I don't think my comment history will suffice to get me access (I don't bother saying something in a thread if I see 10+ other people saying it), and I am a very curious person that feels miffed when information is held just out reach.
I'm not incentivizing anything, I'm just giving people the choice. Remember that we're here because we didn't want jackass moderators making decisions for us.
Even a single comment making it clear what you are will suffice. And I think there is plenty in your history, as I even remember your history.
Could you clear me for access to the subreddit, then? All my kia2 comments are scrubbed (a result of the sub going private, I assume), so I'm at a loss for how to link one of them to you.
Would a sarcastic comment mocking an sjw viewpoint suffice, or would some context be needed to explain it?
