Our demands

  1. Return the site’s moderation practice to it’s former, libs-banned-on-site glory. Move forward to a new, glorious form of banning theory inspired by TC69 thought, while learning from it’s mistakes, and listening to neurodivergent comrades
  2. Reinvigorate the heart of this site’s community, c/furry
  3. Remove r*ddit karma

    And you maybe right, but I don’t know. There are have been other occasions where I’ve seen people write negative things about her and it’s always rubbed me the wrong way. I’m willing to accept good faith criticisms of her actions like the one I mentioned before, but certain comments in this thread don’t sit right with me. Attempts at revisionism perhaps? I don’t know.

      ok maybe im living up to my username here but to me TC69 is like the Stalin of mods

      valid to criticize for stuff like recriminalizing homosexually (or ableism), invalid to criticize bc of red scare shit (or transphobia). they both did a lot of good overall

      I think that, historically, people criticizing TC69 were always transphobic pieces of shit so I don’t think you’re wrong to feel that way

      Something definitely did happen with the c/furry mod team, though , which means some aspect of these criticisms have to be correct. I’m not sure what, though, and it may not have even been TC69’s fault.

      TC69’s vision for the site was entirely orthogonal to it’s original purpose. Better for some people? Absolutely. Other’s hated it, because it was taking the sub away from it’s /r/cth roots, and so obviously the people that wanted to stay true to that style of posting are going to be bitter about her and her tenure.
