Jeffrey seems a bit more like the benevolent/disinterested ruler type than someone eager to execute some sort of forums pogrom

he may not have covered himself in glory during the ppj saga but I also recall him being pretty dismissive of the qcs crew’s attempts to shut down cspam because we were going to cause the police to end up knocking on lowtax’s door (quite the claim, both at the time and especially in retrospect)

jeffreys #1 most consistent sentiment in mod spaces, in the time ive been a mod, has been that the mods/admins should take care of the community and the people on something awful

just in past conversation about “some cspam people are convinced you wanna close cspam and ban us all??” his first and immediate response was no, that would hurt the huge number of people who love cspam and rely on it as a community (paraphrase but to thebest of my recollection the exact sentiment expressed)

now im not asking you to trust my ~*secret knowledge~* more than yr own eyes and heart, but plz take that for w/e its worth to you

Yeah Jeff and I have legit had some serious disagreements and whatever but he cares about the communities here which is a giant loving improvement

He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I honestly just hope Jeffrey runs the place like a legitimate business and hires some good front page writers, fosters/encourages different types of comedy content etc and hires people to take care of things on the business side that are (presumably? Maybe he's a wiz idk) Out of his wheelhouse

that reminds me id actually heard of logan day before all this broke out beause i answered the ad for front page writers she was enthusiastic about my work and said shed try and get lowtax to pay me like a normal person since my resume warrants it and i even gave her some pitches but nope got totally ghosted

apologies if this anecdote accidentally improves your opinion of lowtax for anyone who hates my posting

yeah i think logan & lowtax were pretty clear in that people would only get paid their 40 bux per front page post after an unpaid trial period of 2 months

Sorry to break up the in-fighting for a second, but has anyone pointed out that in her last update, Logan outright says that Lowtax coerced her into making that video and kept telling her she ruined his life? Because she did. Imagine getting saddled with that blame, that she’s the one who caused “the downfall of SA”. Holy gently caress.

I’ve had this dull rage inside me ever since I read it and it greatly pains me to see how little Lowtax is truly discussed. Lowtax is the ultimate cop. The final boss of Cop Land, after you’ve vanquished the inept mod team and the sleazy, sleuthy admin team. You’re all accusing all these subordinates of being cops. No poo poo; that’s all they know, from top to bottom of power structure. Lowtax very much cares about that power, and it just seeps downwards.

Also, he’s an abusive, manipulative piece of poo poo. You think this stops with the women that try to be his partners? From my experience, these people try to manipulate everyone in their lives, from the cashier at the corner store, to their fuckin doctor or mother. They get off on manipulating.

So with that in mind, ask yourself what kind of hosed up power structure they would foster on a site they had total control of.

Lowtax is a subhuman piece of trash and he deserves the same violence done unto him as he has imparted it so easily to others. I hope he’s at least in a little bit of mental anguish. It would nourish me.

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

I should make a note for modmins: to literally everyone who isn't in the know this is exactly the same way every mishandled scandal has been handled for years: people get really loving pissed, the mods tell us they're hearing us and we're valid, ?? something ?? happens behind closed doors, people who really shouldn't be trusted are involved and possibly making decisions, and now there's an announcement telling us not to worry and everything will be fine.

Every other time things have not, in fact, been fine. Going "well if you don't love it leave" is some Biden level not reading the room.

I guess I'm just really fixated on the idea of lowtax getting indefinite passive income. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to see the terms of the agreement after it has been signed.
