all of this brings back some nostalgia...

and reminds me of how I wasn't the best leader for all this. things like the arguments I had with NWP or MoreCowbell, could probably have been solved differently. my memory is fuzzy on the details, but in the end it boiled down to cosmo and me wanting to take decisions to take the project somewhere, but some team members rejected any authority other than that of Glem3.

SMG2.5 aside, I was big on authority and all, which is not always the best way to deal with issues.

(I still think Skelux deserved his ban)

and some things like the switch to Acmlmboard, weren't handled the best. I failed to listen to what the community wanted, because of my own desire to see Blargboard buried (and to have a cleaner, more straightforward and less bloated codebase). it's not even complete as of today, because, well, I'm a lazy fuck. (and why bother at this level of activity? heh.)

and don't get me started on the whole RVLution fiasco. much of it was me trolling the board and trying to pretend it was legit. the end of it (the bit where podverse abuses admin power to trash the board) was unintended, but, well, what can you expect when you run a script to give everybody admin powers? in the end, outright destroying RVLution was a stupid action to take. but at the same time, nobody has cared enough to put it back up, or even put up an archive, which is also why it was doomed to fail: dysfunctional leadership, some toxic users abusing that in their favor.


so, how have things changed?


you might have guessed from my recent Politiscales results. basically, I left my parents' home and discovered the real world in 2016. jobhunting, poverty, depression, etc. as well as that trip through r/LateStageCapitalism and itsgoingdown.org that drove the final nail into the coffin of the old me, and helped turn me into an anticapitalist, forever.

these days, 'anticapitalist' is still the only label I really go by, but things have changed. I've been part of real-life militant events and circles, lived in squats, etc... you learn a lot of things from all that.

so in the end, I'm an anarchist.

looking back at my previous life, and how I am, I feel that this resonates with me. like how I particularly dislike being infantilized or pressured in any way, how I have a strong aversion against authoritarian people, how I went on 'strike' back at high school when my parents tried to force more 'school'work on my sister and me, and punished me like a 6yo when I refused...

this made me think about this very board several times, and like, how can we make it more horizontal. the thing is, you can't just make everybody an admin, there's just too much potential for it to become a shitshow, especially on the internet.

this was the reason behind the 'community matters' forum iirc. but dunno if it's much use at this point?

shrug.


my. thinking this board was started in fucking 2012.

it's going to be 8 years old.

it's been a long ride.

of course, thank you all for being part of this adventure.

so, who here is facing lockdown measures, and how are you living it so far?

those seem to be far-Right gun-wielding morons who think that 'social distancing is communism' and probably that the coronavirus is a hoax (like global warming, of course). so, if they catch it and die, no big loss.

here, how strong the lockdown is depends on where you live, you can be a white bourgie and pretty much do whatever, but be a racial minority in a poor suburb and police will be beating the shit out of you as soon as you're out, while media point as you and claim you are the one spreading the coronavirus. nothing new, ACAB.

the whole thing is infantilizing anyway. like, maybe tell us how the virus spreads and how we can avoid it in detail? it doesn't actually matter if you go out and don't meet anybody (and ofc avoid touching things, wash your hands, etc). it doesn't matter if you respect social distancing. but y'know, police aren't taught to think critically.

government is far-Right (well, Trump is), so, no surprise there.

like, it's cool if you're a white bigot wielding a gun in public, but dare enter a empty house to avoid homelessness and you're a dead man.
