before I got bounced out he was posting there hard and was the #1, dunno what's what at this point it seems like it's dying out

prester jane had a meltdown about a week in when not properly suppressed by mods and started hollering that COVID19 was a chinese lab virus and we'd be under martial law in a week lmao

yeah, I wanted way less hands on moderation and more recruiting / growth, the rest of staff wanted to make sure they had some weird power / authority to insert themselves into the posting arbitrarily. also I had a shouting match with one of the mods because they were trying to pin some poo poo on me in bad faith so i just blew up my welcome. it was a pretty wild hollering match

It's a complete dead end at this point and i hope Pener bails

I'm not particularly interested in rehashing everything; the offsite was a failure and that's that. I think smarxist is a good poster and I like him. I don't have any agenda here beyond some mild pushback on the idea that smarxist was somehow drummed out for being too cool or whatever. I'm dropping it.

every single “offsite” without exception has turned out way more insane and bad than SA even on its worst days. as long as this forum exists there will never be a spinoff community with a large enough pool of posters (who aren’t total headcases) to be anything but an ever-shrinking council of drama queens

i think it's like if goons here were like the pod people in the matrix powering the machines (mods are agents), then the rhizzone is like the nebuchadnezzar, a spartan vessel with cramped quarters and nutrient-rich goop for food and which covertly broadcasts messages to the select few goons to follow the white rabbit
