Thanks
You're very welcome
Glen Beck actually nailed the Geo-Political game at play here (which is a fucking wild sentence to say): https://xcancel.com/glennbeck/status/2008289807374385386#m
Same with Firas Modad, but Geo-Politics is his job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhuqlU7rzA4
This effort is about out-maneuvering China and beginning to secure the Americas from Chinese influence. China out-maneuvered us badly by vassalizing Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, and damn near the UK, and even risking our nuclear naval deterrence with the UK selling an island to a Chinese proxy. That's nothing to say how undermined we've been in America.
Meanwhile with Venezuela and Iran in extremely vulnerable spots; China is risking an economic collapse with high energy prices, can not foment an invasion of Taiwan, it can not maintain BRICS maneuvers, and they just lost a monopoly on rare earth minerals. I suspect a new round of trade negotiations on China will probably start relatively soon. Meanwhile, Guyana (an American vassal state) is secure, and Leftist influence in Brazil and Argentina is going to be less well armed and weakened.
I didn't say you were wrong...
Thanks Alfredic
We got 6 in this morning. We should be good for now, but there's always a possibility someone or something doesn't work out. So I can add you onto the additional list for a reference.
That's in the other thread
That sounds about right. Luckily, I'll just be over here in case of a David-Me event.
They seem legit, and even AoV agrees, and most of them do too.
...
That sounds less democratic than it is.
Hilariously, stickies may be broken, so it may behoove the user-base to upvote this post for visibility.
Thanks for letting me know. That is annoying.
Discord is founded, controlled, and operated by furries, so it has a left-wing operations staff, and should only be used for insecure communication. It is the easiest to integrate in with everyone else's life, because most people have it. That being said, of Left-wing dominated spaces, Discord doesn't normally do crazy shit like Reddit does.
Secure communications would involve stuff like telegram or keypass, or other encrypted person-to-person chat systems. It may not be necessary if no one expects to need confidential information, but remember that the previous administration tried to implement a "department of countering malinformation", and some people live in the UK where 12,000 people a year are arrested for 'hate speech'. I'd argue that under those circumstances alone, an encrypted chat system will be necessary out of sheer political risk of people losing bank accounts for saying "there are two genders". The Trump admin won't use Discord to arrest you for it, but Discord might co-operate with the Two-Tier-Kier government voluntarily.
On-Board is military slang meaning: to join in.
oops, that is an important difference
So far, the nominations are as follows, and all seem pretty reasonable.
The following users seem to have been nominated, but have not been stated that they are prepared to on-board.
That being said, 6 mods is probably more than enough for now. Having users in different time zones can also be useful for coverage.
Just so we're doing this all at the same time, I'll add the top 6 mods tomorrow morning around the same time I made the original post. I'll also kick ClockworkFool as he is alive, but basically doesn't use Reddit or Win very much; and exists as a kind of "David-Me" contingency in the event of internal sabotage. Effectively, I can just take that position as you see fit.
You will all likely need to have a mechanism of discussing meta issues internally using some sort of secure chat app (or you could just Discord it if you are trusting enough). Feel free to discuss among yourselves how to chat. If you all find that it isn't fitting well with you, we can probably bring the other 4 members on as time goes on. I believe C has a discord for generalized .Win moderation, but for the life of me, I couldn't get into my old Discord account, and I no longer know what that server is, or if it's still utilized, so it might be worth researching.
Something I've learned (the hard way) over managing people outside of social media is that friendship and trust are more important than competency, so please make sure to be kind to each other, be patient with each other's disagreements, and try to actually make friends. I wasn't ever really good at that, but I have more faith that you can all put that stuff together more easily than I could.
If anyone wants to take the time to learn more about the Auto-Filter (Liberty Prime), it's going to be worth it.
Edit - u/SophiesBoyfriend is also self nominated
Comment Reported for: Rule 12 - Disinformation
Not what I expected to check for disinformation, but okay.
Turns out there is a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest
Australia and Israel appeared, but apparently Bangladesh, India, Japan, Syria and Kazakhstan have not.
Maybe you are misremembering something?
Comment Reported for:
- Rule 16 - Identity Attacks
A "groyper" is an ideological association, not a identity group
- Rule 2 - Violent Speech
"does not deserve to be treated with any aspect of human decency" is mean, but it is not a call to violence. Seems more like an "i wouldn't even rape you" kind of comment that agitates but is not violent.
Comment Reported for: Rule 3 - Harassment
Comment Approved: An angry screed but not "harassment" unless Gizortnik is going around an following the other user around

This is pretty borderline, so no sanction for now. I might need clarification to restore it.

Thank you, I wish you well too.
