I don’t think Vance is a useful idiot. That implies that he doesn’t understand the consequences of what he’s doing. He’s nominally second in command of a party that’s working to ultimately put his wife and kids in camps. I think he understands what he’s doing. He’s just gambling on it being successful enough and retaining enough power that he won’t personally see those consequences.

Yeah, the vibe was definitely left-wing before, and it was a shock to many of the more prominent members. You started getting the appearance of subs which were “this is to discuss how Jews control all the money globally” and prominent members who avoided saying anything completely explicit on the site, but whose twitter accounts would reveal them to be prominent members of swastika-using Nazi groups.
The owner declared himself to be “a free speech absolutist” and that he wanted to promote conflict on the site and a lot of people, myself included, just went “yeah, I see where this is going” and left.
Squabblr’s the one where the owner wuickly outed himself as a right-wing transphobe and caused a mass-exodus of early adopters, wasn’t it?
The entry for Outer Wilds should just read “nothing. Don’t try to learn anything about this game before playing”.
