I think the commies might have actually been able to win if they'd stuck with the slow burn. But the no impulse control, instant gratification, utopianist younger Marxists may have actually saved us. Hah.
I've wanted to kill mine as well since it's a few years old and in need of a refresh. Switching sites lets me start anew with a different username with no ties to that account/comment history. And KiA2 is the only sub I visited anyways, so it works out well for me.
I'm I the same boat as you. I want to nuke my Reddit account but I don't want to replace it with a site where only 1/4 of the discussion is taking place.
But it's like nobody can tell what AoV is doing right now with the reddit sub.
We're deliberating on it. In any case, we do want to make all our subscribers aware of what is going on so they can move here or request approval - but that requires temporary unprivating.
But if AoV can just keep it private indefinitely and not mass invite us to it, then this site might as well become the new norm.
A mass invite is impractical, since that defeats the purpose of being private to begin with, and it will probably get us into trouble for unrequested messages to users.
I've taken the opportunity to just shift over here and try to build this place up. I've noticed an uptick in activity here since the privating.
Hopefully some blogger at the NYT gives in and writes a hit piece on Win.
You know you want to write it, commie lurkers. We say nigger here. That has to be worth 400 words.

Not us but...
Our biggest advantage is the commies' complete lack of impulse control.

Impulse control is patriarchal oppression, shitlord!
I don't want to go back to tiptoeing around everything just because mods are cowards.

I killed mine a few months ago, and thus had no evidence to get an invite. I can't even lurk KIA2 like I usually do.
So it goes.
