i remain very happy seeing that they won't be able to leave the subculture of weird nazi functional language nerds with no social acumen.

very not-a-cult behaviour, completely dissimilar to what scientologists do.

frankly i feel like i need to excommunicate the lot of you. which i do, by the powers vested in me by being the one true pope etc.

so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.

and to be clear

• i didn't think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
• if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it's perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
• i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
• and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master's tools to bring down the master's house.

also, to some extent, poul anderson's war of the wing-men.

nah. i have a proper adhd and am medicated to my ears with medikinet (yeah, so it's metylphenidate, not adderall, but for the purpose of the reply it doesn't make a difference), but it didn't make me an adult debating club aficionado. can we please not medicalise gobshittery?

perhaps they named the child after this fucking gobshite?

yes, it was deliberate choice (along with using nazi-borrowed uniforms and tons of visual quotes from fucking leni riefenstahl.)

2022, so there's a good chance this is now abandoned and half-forgotten?

ah, apparently there's an activity popular in the ea circles that is called “fiscal sponsoring” which deals with such unpleasantness. (in the meantime there's a question in the comments about puerto rico minimum wage compliance that's – by pure omission – left without any reply whatsoever)

i love that no-one of the lw commenters seemed to check the irs non-profit database.

and your bad name is well deserved for many better reasons too!
