@basedpiratecap @BasedBeffJezos I was told by multiple ppl after the fact that it was a “community decision” … though I wasn’t consulted so I guess there’s some secret subgroup running things 🤷♀️
@basedpiratecap @BasedBeffJezos It particularly bothers me that the rationale I heard was it would “look bad” that someone in an e/acc chat had referenced Roman infanticide… like, woke cancel culture is being weaponized by whoever is gatekeeping by stirring up fears of cancellation
@basedpiratecap @BasedBeffJezos And it’s such a common pattern- idealistic freedom-loving movement gets co-opted and turned into a more tightly controlled hierarchy with various “we’re at war here” rationalizations
@basedpiratecap @BasedBeffJezos Imo best defense is to refuse to accept “ends justify the means” logic of internal repression and to abandon any movement where that sort of thing is tolerated
