It's funny to imagine how many of said apostates and heretics ended up in this very saidit after reddit banned the original one.

While I'm sure that the greater part of the reason for our ban was TiA's open contempt for troons (Reddit's extra-most specialest protected class), I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a smaller part was the broad spectrum of people posting, particularly those who were mostly (or even entirely) left in pretty much every regard.

Though the troons focus in the last year or so might have made it seem like that was the only thing we ever talked about, we covered a lot of outright insanity and "oh, this never happens until it actually does" behavior, and that drew in a LOT of people who had otherwise had nothing else in common but shock and disgust (and maybe a little fear too) that this sort thing had progressed to such levels.

And that open display of dissent, of people who were supposed to be "allies" expressing their disapproval with the program? Well, that'd be about the one thing that Reddit's admins could tolerate less than us alt-right chuds :D.

Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing some leftists on the old TiA complaining about current trends, more specifically on how much attention trans and queer were receiving to the point where class rights were disregarded or outright ignored.

"Allies", heh. Their own people, tumblr or twitter users, with multicultural tolerance, middle-upper class lifestyles and jobs, criticizing troons on their very own platform. I imagine it must have put some male panties in a twist at Reddit HQ.
