>>12033>Still never should have turned into the mass censor shit show that it did.Agreed.
>On .orge everyone has to walk on eggshells except the Tumblrite/rSocialism/rGreenandpleasant users, which really begs the question, why in fuck is it an imageboard to begin with? Why is it Leftist politically INCORRECT when you get banned for being politically incorrect and the mods have literal hit lists of users they will ban for no reason other than they don't agree with some of their positions?I honestly wouldn't be shocked if the whole thing was an op.
8ch had already been couped by an actual fed… when what was left of /leftypol/ largely fell into Bunkerchan after the collapse of 8ch
(raided by feds while run by a fed), it was briefly out of the control of feds. In this incarnation, it still had too much censorship, but there was still
substance, it was still tied to the academic and historical traditions and knowledge and culture of
the left as opposed to the dumb fucking petty, vapid Twitter call-out culture and emptyheaded Reddit circlejerk culture which ended up dominating .org after Bunkerchan was couped.
To even say that .org censors just along ideological lines is an understatement. The reason I ultimately left and, eventually, came here was that I was being banned over and over
for completely indecipherable reasons, they even pretended they were just doing it by accident, and I later learned that the weird, passive aggressive "anon" in their meta was actually a mod pretending to be a
regular user. It was, and is, incredibly bizarre behavior.
The whole approach inevitably wrecked any remaining academic or DIY quality which could have been inherited from the once-/leftypol/ community, which had already been severely damaged. It sort of pisses me off that I came here so late, as .org gradually got worse and worse, because I can look at
old posts on the /edu/ board here and see that this site
used to retain users who still read books and knew what they were talking about. Nowadays even the state of the /edu/ board here is pretty fucking embarrassing, but since we're such a small site we at least have an excuse for our disproportionate amount of posts by schizoids and dumbass r
