As many of you already know, we had to temporarily put esr to private, since the rest of the golden subs got brought down and esr was also on the chopping block. I understand that this wasn't an easy decision for everyone, especially with the decreased amount of activity in the spaces compared to the past, but it was something necessary to do. However, esr is now scheduled to open back to public on april 22, 2023. The extra time has also given all of us a valuable buffer to fully decide on how we will participate in the future of golden platforms online, how we will manage the reddit sub going forward, etc.

For esr, the usual post topics will be allowed such as: anti imperialism, calling out both the left and the right, pro amaf/ amxf, golden culture, geopolitics and current news, as well as calling out hate crimes and racism by xms against goldens, etc, etc. However, we advise users to be careful on how they title their posts or comment on reddit, as the platform has gotten more stricter in terms of censorship against based golden users (partly the reason we branched out to saidit or discord). We plan on gradually growing by opening to the public, and perhaps increasing the activity of the space. However if we encounter the absolute worst case scenario (and only in the worst case), we may consider putting it back to private temporarily but for a much shorter period compared to now (so only around 2 weeks- to at most a month), then switch it back to public. This seems to be the only semi effective way of balancing out the fact that we need to grow our userbase as well as not be in trouble with the @dm1n$. Which is why we encourage users to visit our alternative platforms or even create ones of their own.

We're also looking for any volunteers that would like to try being mods at esr (which means being an active contributor for modding duties, and to be well aware of and against larping xms that pose as based goldens such as the mcj trolls), let us know and we can chat.
