      I was fully willing to join the discord until it asked me for my birthdate. It might sound a bit odd but I’m a fairly private person and it was a drop the mike moment for me. I mean, I know I can lie but it’s the principal of the thing. I shouldn’t have to give my birthdate in order to talk to people. Yes, I know, I’m just a bit old fashioned in some ways.

      I would rather avoid popcorn head, so I think I’ll stay here.

      It has been like that for days, it’s really very strange how they are so disconnected from the community they claim to be a part of.

        I would assume they gossip elsewhere but no they just do it in the open

        Its like when that antiwork og mod went on fox news to speak for a sub that originally meant “i dont want to work” and evolved to be “there are problems with our capitalist, workaholic society in which workers are heavily exploited”. She just had absolutely no clue what the community was about anymore and embodied the stereotypical neckbeard internet loser

            I’ve taken the one about hurstbridge. Won’t post them publicly.

          Can you tell from the Discord how many mods are actually involved? I was looking at them earlier, I think there are only two active, most of the mods did not have any recent Reddit history. I’m getting Wizard of Oz vibes, I thought there was a large group.

              Interesting. I think it was 8 listed on the sub. Presumably the others drifted off and can’t be removed because they are at the top of the list. It would be more fun to come up with conspiracy theories though.

                might be. It’s hard to tell who’s a mod on discord. Different usernames.

                  That’s very non transparent. The mods could be three chipmunks in a trenchcoat.
