nd take a different stance. That's a huge oversimplification but I'm just explaining that that's part of what the name means in this context.

I kind of agree, it is only a matter of time until the TRAs try to infiltrate the administration of this platform as well, and from then on anything could happen (as we just saw on Reddit). However, I don't think it is a reason to give up on the fight, the more people we reach and the more people see the censoring attempts, the more people we have the chance to wake up. We need sites like these, aside from our own.

We can sorta learn from the last purge. A lot of actually disgusting subs were banned, they tried to evade, and eventually moved to voat. Those who really liked the banned subs stayed around. The casual visitor made an account, complained about reddit administration, then ultimately went back to reddit after a few weeks cause all the other communities are still there. The admins there seem to realise that getting rid of reddit refugees means losing a lot of site traffic when you are trying to compete with something that big.
