thank you, that's perfectly awful :-)
wanted to emulate bene gesserit, ended doing bene tleilax
so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.
and to be clear
- i didn't think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
- if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it's perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
- i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
- and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master's tools to bring down the master's house.
nah, i'm not going back where i'm clearly not wanted; the mods can take care of this themselves.
bonus: some *chan-pilled gobshite thinks this branch is not cool enough (cw: ableism)
It has no reach. Sorry. I myself go there every few weeks to check last threads, but becoming insular autistic circlejrk circlejerking over other autist made it intellectualy impotent, sorry.
it was always a risk; questioning someone's integrity, be it directly or indirectly, is rarely welcomed.
needless to say, i'm even less inclined to resume any activity on reddit.
not only the thread is closed, i was banned for asking that question:
transcript follows
Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/SneerClub because you broke this community's rules. You won't be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.
Note from the moderators:
There, the sub is dead again (for you).
If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.
yet another programmer who imagines that having computer science baccalaureate gives him an insight into human biology. sigh.
in a typical reddit fashion the post is getting downvotes despite just asking the obvious question.
i have a reading account for when i need to read reddit via logged-in account, so i went and asked.
ETA-1: and got banned for asking.
ETA-2: the subreddit's description still has “sub moved to https://awful.systems” in the old view.
oh, it's like russia's idea of ukrainian and belarussian. fucking orphans of the empires…
