Hot take: activist moderators are better than laissez-faire ones, and absolutely essential for dissident success.

Thank you for your kind words.

The mods and I have tried to keep up the tone and focus of the founder of the sub Mortalsisyphus. I've also learned a lot from /u/waltzsroomate who stepped up and ran the sub after MS was banned for no reason whatsoever on reddit. We survived more then a year longer on Reddit with waltzsroomates guidance. Those were tough times. Sophisticated trolls, organized raiders, and sneaky demoralization/violence shills were waging constant attacks. Not to mention a reddit admin that was constantly figuring out ways to dry up traffic and get us to give up or get tripped up in some stupid reddit rule or policy.

Huge shoutout to /u/markimus /u/cisheteroscum and /u/pcpmasterrace . They are true OG's and even though they don't comment as much as I do they do a LOT of mod work. Please give them props if you appreciate this sub because it wouldn't be possible without them.

For those that are new here and are unfamiliar with MS you can read some of his writings on the archive of his old site. (found on the sidebar)

He was the active mod when I first stumbled on the sub in 2016/17. He was respectful to me as I fumbled through trying to understand the alt right and dissident thought in general. I would not be 'out of the matrix' so to speak without him and the sub he created. Wherever you are MS thanks.

Hasn't posted in over a year. I loathe Twitter but I might just make an account to reach out.

That's some history. This sub has come a long way.

Thanks for the links, and thanks again for everything you and the mod team has done. This community has had an impressive past, and I believe it has an even brighter future.
