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.
That's not the case for my alt account.
I've tried it logged in and out, on multiple accounts, different browsers, and it's still giving:
Sorry, you don't have access to this. Go to the front page
That isn't going to drive anyone here
We're you originally subscribed to the sub?
No.
I use RES bookmarks. I don't like reddit having a list of my subs.
And that's kind of the point of this. They need to do it like T_d did, where it was viewable to all, but restricted, so everyone gets the message to move over here.
