stalinists, like pigeons, are gonna shit over every place where they congregate. it is a pity that they have half the brain and quarter of the cuteness of the pigeons though.

…and that's one of the dudes personally invited to the site by its main moderator (see, the public invite trees can be useful sometimes).

there's this lovely nostalgic thread by the very dude working for baikal, and you can play the game “spot the serb in the thread without looking at the names”.

so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.

and to be clear

  • i didn't think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
  • if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it's perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
  • i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
  • and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master's tools to bring down the master's house.
