WHY?
]]>The mods here censor every post that goes against their liberal-authoritarian bullshit. This site isn’t any more community-run than leftist spaces on Reddit. No real transparency. No community control. No friendly design for the users here. Mastodon at least got a proper content warning system, tag/word filtering, blocking, etc. Remember when the old sub mocked Reddit’s “you upvoted a no-no post” system where opaque mods would thought-police people into toeing an undefined and liberal political line? And then how the mods wanted to bring that system of vote-spying here? Why do you want to just make this into another Reddit? Reddit’s very capitalist design is diseased. This post will be deleted and account banned. In the modlog it will just say “wrecker” or “obvious wrecker.” Dedicating this post to my banned-boy JoeySteel and his boyband Steely Joe.
]]>The mod log the last week is filled with bans for wrecking even though none of us that got banned after sienna did shit to damage the site. And they say they can't see our ip addresses but then they say they're banning people for vote manipulation... like how can they know there's vote manipulation without seeing our fucking ip addresses? Either they have our ip addresses or they're lying about it being vote manipulation and are just banning anyone that upvotes a post they disagree with.
So tldr I'm willing to consider coming back to raddle because of how dysfunctional the chacha admins are but only if you guys do the right thing with your own dickhead admin. I mean if you search chapo.chat for ziq it's crazy how much consensus there is from literally everyone that ziq has to GO. This site would have been huge by now if you would just kick ziq the fuck out. You can't have an abusive shitstain calling the shots and driving everyone that comes here to insanity, shitting on our opinions every time we say anything that goes against ziq's pure ancom ideology.
Tldr tldr demod ziq and this site could become the new home of the left since chacha has banned all the funniest users and me for fucking stupid reasons. But none of us will come back back if ziq is still here yelling abuse at everyone that won't say "china bad, cia good".
]]>Edit - Btw registrations on chacha have been closed since the pedo drama happened so none of us being banned can even make new accounts. Anyone else here in my boat?
]]>What I'm actually impressed by is how closely it models real world despotic regimes with zero stakes. In particular, they follow the standard pattern. Set up a society that is generally principled and has the mandate of its people. Find an adversary who is attacking your group constantly. At ChapoChat, this was initially some Discord drama (the Kerryposting) but that subsided. Then they started to get raided every now and then by users from cumtown and elsewhere posting transphobic copypasta. Much better as a big bad. So they identified transphobia as the main enemy to their site, despite it almost entirely occuring from new accounts (meaning that the REAL enemy to their site was raiding and their refusal to do IP/browser based bans or shut down registration most of the time). So they did a few things to fight it, such as mandating pronouns, which was divisive, even among trans users. Doesn't matter. Due to the fight against the Adversary, we must all band together and trust the party. To make sure users had to police even their thoughts, they started purging users who downvoted the threads they thought were good. Their current attitude is that downvotes are removed and wrongthink is not punished democratically, but rather by admin bans. I've seen bans for "debatebroism", for "criticizing religion", and for "wrecker shit". I've seen people banned for asking for mod/admin elections as "trying to start a color revolution". It doesn't matter if you've been a beloved member of the community for years. You get no warning, no appeal, and no path to right any wrongs you are accused of.
Want to see it? Go here and filter to only banned from site or community. Here's a screenshot one of the recent purges.
So now they've reached the end stage: Absolute power to set right and wrong wielded by a few people at the top, integrated spectacle of experts, secrecy, and unanswerable lies, and a userbase who is terrified to say anything about it. They are also wondering right now why their userbase is dwindling so fast. Some of their mods, especially TC69, seem to legitimately suffer from personality disorders (narcissism, cluster B, etc.) and do things like get drunk and go on ban tears. She has cowed previously good mods like Beatnik by threatening him to "self-crit" constantly, otherwise he'll be purged like all of the other leadership the current mods purged to consolidate power over their pocket sized kingdom. Now she's taken away his adminship because of a sexual harassment scandal that she most likely manufactured herself just to purge the last cis man from the admin ranks.

Rabbit in the pool
Ash and tools
Boron and helium
With white red flowers
A person’s voice is different
The dream is to die
Artists drink blue wine
[Rules]
Itchy skin
I hate peace
Common places scare me
Stupid, they confuse me
Singing
I have headache
The crazy friends of life
You think I'm rebelling
If you have any problems, tell your psychologist
The silly of this action
I love when you fall down a mountain
I told you a secret, I'm not angry
You're crazy
everything is fine
All good people

Where do you cook
Listen

You're crazy You're crazy
So you are a good person
I'm stupid, I know that you were gone
That is why we are united at the moment.
Singing
