January 6th defendants moderating political forums?

One of the platforms hoping to grow off of the Reddit migration is Squabbles.co.

Members used to laugh at how others called it a "toxically positive" place. Friendly conversations, hard to start a fight.

That recently changed with the developer JayCLees removing TOS rules protecting trans members from abuse & disinformation AND making a public announcement that Squabblr.co was now a "free speech site".

About a week before that the conflict with JayCLees and the users started when he refused to do anything about user amightybeard, the moderator of the discussion group "conservative".

A user did a web search on the username "amightybeard" and posted what he found:

rentry.co/xht52

Highlights include:

1. amightybeard possibly being a January 6th defendant

2. amightybeard being a member of several hard right wing discussion sites

3. amightybeard being a rabid antivaxer

4. amightybeard being a rabid homophobe

I got banned after 1 day there.

Likely due to the proverbial "power abusing moderator".

A guy and I were talking about how a lot of the content on is juvenile. I agreed with him and added that the Facebook group for my city was the next worst example I could think of.

Some other guy out of nowhere replied to me to tell me that he thought my comment was the most juvenile comment he ever read on Tildes.net.

I replied with a single word: "Adios!".

I thought that was mild.

I skimmed his profile. He seemed to be a major volunteer at Tilden.net

A few minutes later I was banned ( no reason given ) and that exchange was removed by an Admin.

Be careful if you make an account there. Apparently if you are part of the staff you are free to gratuitously insult users there and ban them if they dare say something.
