    What I’m seeing here is

    • ceo saying we’re an unpolitical, nice platform now and don’t want to get in trouble with the US government
    • admins toeing the line
    • mods not only toeing the line but engaging in pre-emptive obedience, or going beyond the call of duty or better safe then sorry or whatever you want to call it.

    It’s the mods I don’t understand here. FFS they can’t even lose their paying jobs. The only explanation I see is that they do it for the sake of playing smalltown sheriff. But it’s not even fun, it’s just fucked up.

      basically bootlicking just to keep his reputation intact… among other techbros.

      I’m a mod on a regional discord server and used to mod forums back in the day. I just make sure people don’t threaten each other and I ban the spambots. How do people let this shit go to their heads so much? Goddamn.
