    I wouldn’t be fishing here if I wasn’t getting bites, and I wouldn’t have thought to dip my hook in the water if I hadn’t seen abundant signs of good fishing.

      I have, and I was, and no, I got perma’d. Four different users also attempted to dox me. I know since I was in their private chatrooms during the time. Seeing them get frustrated when they couldn’t do it was very entertaining. They even tried image meta-data, the poor things

      And my mask? I don’t have a mask. I’m very honest with my views and am willing to share them with anyone who wishes to know.

        Welp, i guess there we have it. I’ve so far managed to avoid provoking them myself, cross my fingers I don’t get on their bad side.

          Did you inherit a thousand years of piss-poor takes or are you just great at making shitty opinions?

            I have no way of knowing if that’s accurate, nor to i have any way of knowing what it was that got you perma’d.

            try to say that stalin was a disaster for communism and his dictatorship killed it, then you’ll be in trouble

            I probably wouldn’t say that, because the US defeated communism (according to their own accounting). I would tread lightly around anything I may not agree with them on, but I do happen to agree with them on a lot. At least most of them. Half of them. Maybe slightly less than a majority of them.

            What can I say, they aren’t a monolith.

              You can say that Stalin was bad, right?

              What can I say, they aren’t a monolith.

              But their hatred towards diversity and dissent is

        Maybe? You should go and try provoking them, see if they still treat you with civility.

        edit: goat is right, I was using sarcasm and did not indicate that clearly. I do not support going there to cause trouble, but you are absolutely allowed to go there and behave.

          I’ve seen how they behave on other instances, no way will they be polite and courteous when someone disagrees with them on home turf.

            You just gotta know which things you disagree on, and why they might strongly disagree with you, and not just say “fuck it, imma blast off”.

            If you go in wanting to make a point then yea. They will not be courteous.

          No brigading. Brigading is a headache for both admins

          this community is an exception, although a rickety one
