Porn and salacious material are entirely different content.
Max posts, reposts, and spam are still all different concepts.
I said each can be consolidated and you definitely can't argue in good faith that they can't.
One faction is going to dominate either through censorship or harassment.
Let it be the original posters who migrated here first, they had the most to lose.
And it's not like you have a real sense of community here. What do you all do?
We post threads and topics of interest, and read and reply. It's a message forum, what else there is to do? We aren't going to plan mutiny or treason, and we don't have any particular call to action since those days are gone.
But we'll point out censorious fucks and remind each other to boycott those companies, educate ourselves on the vax and seek out opinions when facing extremely hard choices, or merely amuse ourselves. Anonymity and some familiarity and thus empathy enables that.
If you want me to have less say over what should and shouldn't be allowed, who's the fucking pillar to the community that I can reach out to?
People like YesMovement who kept this forum going in earlier days when the content was dry. Busy atm, but if you want a list of names, no worries -- I can collate them.
It's really not about whether or not you might 'lose' this community. I don't know what you are doing to keep it.
Report spam when infested with roaches; post gaming and culture news, even when I know the articles will be under-appreciated in terms of general interest; hell, I'm submitting posts extremely frequently despite preferring commentary over posts. And the above. Again, these are extremely natural.
We don't need a successful book club or game dev project to be a community. Those people knew it might be niche, and took that risk. That's OK.
Edit: Forgot to addresss:
I don't have to make a judgement on the concept of the violence. It's beyond clear that calling for violence is dangerous in general.
Your judgment is questionable in latest case, as before maybe we should stick to illegality and WIN TOS. If not, core community buy-in should be critical.
