My last message on r/gc was on the sticky thread the day before eviction, warning the mods of the current election year environment and "moral panic".

Moving to saidit.net can only be a temporary solution. GC needs its own platform in order to stop being passive and start being actual activists because it's clear now that the left "hates" GC. GC need to stop swearing allegance to the left (which doesn't mean GC has to start being right wing of course, feminism is essentially a marxist movement).

But GC cannot stay silent anymore. If it means resorting to the same "dirty tactics" as TRA to win, so be it, because the other side clearly won't hold up.

Another matter is archiving old content and discussion, this is really important because there was significant discussions in the old sub and useful links. Do mods here plan to get back all that content in any way?

Just a short while ago, I considered myself to be a progressive, but now I don't believe I have any sort of political label. Now I understand the far right-wingers who claimed that the left was authoritarian. I thought they were just projecting because they are basically bordering on fascism themselves, but the latest JK Rowling incident opened my eyes to a lot of things.

But I agree. While it's fine for GC (and good marketing) to have a presence on major public platforms, the only "safe" place to have a more permanent home is one in which you have ownership. Basic business advice for entrepreneurs so that Facebook falling off the face of the earth doesn't mean your business does the same.
