If we see someone post racist/bigoted comments are we complicit in its spread if we don’t say anything?

This is a challenge for all sane good people on here to at least say someone’s wrong when someone posts about “Parasitic Jews” or “Lazy Blacks” or “Mexicans are rapists and criminals”. No need for an argument just don’t let it slide anymore. The admins here seem to leave that garbage up.

The admins here like it. If you report people for posting racist shit, they force you to block those people so you can't keep reporting their racist shit. That way, the admins don't have to do any fucking work.

@LordShadowfire That may be one explanation for why it auto-blocks.

Of course the admins probably investigate the other posts in the process.

@LordShadowfire I reported someone and it blocked them and now it won’t let me unblock them. They clearly do not want reports.

@iamonfire696 I have an idea.

I think the admins pretty much done gave up on this site for some reason. Maybe they are in the process of selling it off?

If that is the case, we all may soon get hit with some kind of nasty surprise.

@CestManan Good.

@CestManan who would buy this dump 🤣

@LordShadowfire It might also be possible they are just giving some people enough rope to hang themselves. Like the pedos, the ones that tell others to kill themselves, maybe people trying to sling dope, and anything else that could be punishable with real world consequences.

@iamonfire696 Elon Musk might come around to kick the tires like he did with Twitter. I do not think SW would command umpteen billion dollars though.

[@both of you] - Didn't EP go through this same type of cycle shortly before it shut down? Yeah there was the Jason and Chelsea incident but there was a lot more going on than just that yes?

@CestManan I don’t remember honestly. I just remember it closing all of a sudden.

Well, I just don't appreciate being forced to block and prevented from unblocking.

@iamonfire696 I had an account there but the disorganization and speed were not something I was used to so I didn't bother. Some point later I logged in and it was locked, then closed. There were several pages explaining about privacy and legal issues.

@CestManan I was active there but seriously didn’t pay attention to all the cliques and stuff like that

@LordShadowfire I understand that. I am not a fan of the block feature in the least. Like reading a book with missing pages.

I have always said that this site has way too many tools that prevents people from even interacting. Block, forced block, mute, friends only posts, this algorithm. Fuckin nightmare.
