Coup in /leftypol/.
71 2017-03-31 by PM_ME_MOD_STATUS
At approximately 17:30 PDT today there was a coup on the largest /leftypol/ discord server. @schnitz decided to ban everyone from @snow's server while he was asleep and send them to the "backup server" that he runs. This was about 700 people.

Here are some rationalization and LARPing from our revolutionary hero:
On the other server:
What followed were predictable arguments about motive (it was a pure powergrab, let's not kid ourselves)
After a while of screaming at eachother in the voice channel they settled into constant strawpolling to decide who would run the "new server". Eventually the de facto "moderator" of the conversation decided that he himself (who had just admitted he knew nothing about discord) would co-admin with @schnitz (the guy that had just torched the other server -- because some people don't trust schnitz to run it alone). So... this should go well.
Currently as I am typing this @snow is in the voice channel of /leftypol/ 2.0 and some British guy is naming ALL the conspirators to him.
also there is now a /leftypol/ 3.0.
EDIT: 3 hours later the coup is declared a failure. All but the #announcements channel is removed from /leftypol/ 2.0 and the message on it is a link to the original server. There are only a small fraction of the original users right now. All that remains is whether or not @schnitz and the rest of the gang of four will be sent to Butyrka or Sukhanovo prisons.

Does there exist a single online left wing community that isn't in a state of perpetual civil war?
n/a PM_ME_MOD_STATUS 2017-03-31
It seems to be what they do... nitpick over small differences. Infuriating. But schnitz is definitely an FBI plant.

Depends, does a blog run by a single person who doesn't also have mpd count as a community?

Does there exist a single online right-wing community that isn't in a state of perpetual bigotry?
n/a YourGayOpinion 2017-03-31
We are all bigots about something, cutie pie. Every single person.
n/a TheGreatWolfRuss 2017-03-31
Yeah but your righties are dumb enough to turn that bigotry into political ideology
n/a TheGreatWolfRuss 2017-03-31
you make it seem like that makes the right wing communities less retarded than the left ones

For some people, Bigotry is not an agenda, but an accident of human failings. For others, Bigotry is a life mission.

For internet lefties, it is a weapon.

I'm sorry these jerks downvoted you pal, that just isn't what /r/drama is about.
But I have a question for you, if you're willing to expand your mind a little. Is it bigotry for a woman to hate the abusive husband who keeps her locked in the house with no financial security? Is it bigotry for the downtrodden and economically disenfranchised to hate a corrupt police force that brutalizes and robs them? Is it bigotry for people to be concerned about historical injustices perpetuated by the same small group over and over? Historical injustices that group continues to benefit from today?
n/a DeprestedDevelopment 2017-03-31
I'm curious what point you're building to.

Probably mayocide.
n/a PhysicsIsMyMistress 2017-03-31
No, but if she hates all men because of it? Yes,
No, but if they are hostile to any police officer they ever meet, then yes.
This is a little tricky, because a lot of "groups" are something you don't choose to be a part of.
n/a lsord 2017-03-31
That depends. Is the husband white, a person of color, or a religious/cultural minority?
No, it is self-defense.
There's no such thing as bigotry towards white men.
The U.S. belongs to the Native Americans, Israel belongs to Palestine.

There is a kind of orthodoxy that eventually affects every ideological group. From Feminists to Republicans to Motorheads. Eventually every group reaches a critical point where it must exclude others of lose identity. This necessity creates conflict.
I recommend believing in nothing.

Can discord's text chat match IRC for reliability in high packet loss environments like Rojava, or uh, your mom's basement?

Im not part of leftypol, or an anarchist, or a communist you dip shit. Are you even paying attention?
n/a coco-o 2017-03-31
Why does a chan board have a discord server? Doesn't that entirely defeat the purpose?
