I don't think it should really be that hard for people to have actually listened to me and have elected someone against genocide and not Trump.

Uhm, chuddie? I voted for Claudia and Karina. 

All this mess is on the hands of voters like Nep who didn't go out to the polls.

The sheep are getting rambunctious!


Bets on them just closing the elon musk thread and banning discussion instead of banning x links?

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Sports subreddits ban X before Resetera.

I love that nobody even bothers to check B-Dubs lies:

BB code media sites
BB code media sites are a means by which links to content hosted on external sites, such as YouTube or Instagram can be converted into embedded media in users' messages automatically.

XenForo comes with a collection of predefined BB code media sites for popular sources including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Spotify.

Links posted in user messages will automatically be processed and turned into embedded media if the Auto-embed media links option is enabled under the Media embedding section of XenForo's options system.

BB code media site manager
Within the BB code media site manager, you can view all of the available media sites and temporarily disable each of them with a single click on the toggle gadget. You can also delete sites or add a new one.

So yes, we'd be ceding a lot of power in the near term, but it's best to rip the band-aid off now and get to work on organizing elsewhere.

Do you trust American liberals to organize?

Nep trusts liberals as much as she trusts voting.

User Banned (Permanent): Trolling and/or dismissive commentary

He's throwing his heart out to the crowd. He literally says this.

[DavidCroquet]

Nepenthe is just echoing the effective organizing tactics of the trailblazing social advocates who paved the path she now walks.

Anyone with a familiarity with social justice history will recall MLK Jr's famous quote: "Boycotts are pointless and America will never get better."

Last I saw from B-Dubs was that it's not feasible because of the forum software. If a ban went into effect it would have to be enforced by the staff which would be a lot more work, but maybe after the Nazi salute we can get people to stop sourcing from there voluntarily.

Considering Famiboards is running on Xenforo too and it's voting for a ban, I really doubt it's not technically feasible.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/sports-subreddits-lead-a-charge-to-ban-x-links-after-elon-musks-nazi-salute.1088235/#post-134668398

I don't know them. Maybe they'll be enforcing it through moderation and not technically.

Nah, they're talking about deactivating embeds too. If this is the particular plugin the forum is using, then removing embeds is definitely possible. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/s9e-media-sites.5973/

Edit:

i just spun up a temporary xenforo instance and was able to disable/delete any site i wanted in the forum software's admin panel pretty much instantly. even the plugin i believe we're using (s9e media sites) says you can disable any website by following the same procedure even with the same exact steps as the vanilla media embed plugin


i'm not sure what else could be causing an issue on the forum software side to enable a ban?

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

How will Era survive? 90% of threads begin with a tweet. Will there be screen shot posts now? 

[benji]

B-Dubs can save himself by publicly admitting that the highest position on the forum doesn't have access to the admin panel.

[Besticus Maximus]

Nep trusts liberals as much as she trusts voting.

She is just a liberal, which is why it takes but a scratch for her to show her fascist ways

It's definitely the most used embed on here, for a variety of reasons.

That said, it's time.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

I can't wait for

Here's a copy/paste of a Twitter post about a trans issue

Random Era Person: Source?

Kyuuji: ... 

[benji]

Shouldn't we be getting rid of the embeds of all the Nazis sites like Facebook, YouTube and TikTok too? Or do we only block Nazi sites when the owner publicly declares to be a Nazi with a salute?

[El Derpo]

Nep is just like the stereotypical dude that catches shit at their dead end job because they’re ultimately mediocre, so they come home and abuse their family because that’s where they have power.

Except in this case work is Walgreens and home is Era. 

If she met a carbon copy of herself, she would absolutely hate that person and ban them from Era for white fragility.

 All of them are supporting Trump now. Instagram too. What about Bluesky? Have they banned Jesse Singal yet?

[Boredfrom]

Imagine a world where Musk was not druggie internet troll.

[benji]

Bluesky? The website where banned members organize harassment campaigns against staff?

Elon does not have autism. You cannot self-diagnose autism. Stop spreading that BS.

Alright, so I'm a little confused. B-Dubs has said a number of threads that it's literally not possible but other forums on the same software are going voting to ban it?

Definitely need some clarification on this.
