>>22092For reference I never opposed letting users have a part in the moderation process, or transparency, or anything like that, I only think that allowing Matrix users to straight up vote on mod matters as if they were mods is a bad idea.

>>22236Leftism means protecting the working people, not allowing them to be massacred in order to keep the economy going - as porky originally wanted to do at the start of the pandemic before overwhelming backlash forced them into moderate control measures. Ironically Chinese people who had a much harsher lockdown have been far more free for the past two years, with little to no pandemic controls outside the affected areas.
