They are legitimately hurting people who were my friends and it bothers me intensely.
I suppose it's lucky that I got out when I did. My life has done a 180 over the last few months since severing my connections with these communities and I am happier and healthier than I have been in years. Knowing the suffering my old friends are dealing with is difficult but I can not sacrifice myself for people who aren't aware that their comforting blanket is slowly strangling them...
If I were not so thoroughly and utterly screwed by the community on a deeply personal level I probably wouldn't have woken the fuck up and gotten off my ass to start working out, eating healthy, and learning music.That's great to hear.
Advice in these areas needs to be helpful...open and based on medical facts and not used to push someone's personal agenda or crusade
Many of these people have simply fallen in as they followed the sheep ....hopefully threads like these can not only serve as a way to vent about this but also shine a light on that area
Dont get me wrong there are some great genuine nice and helpful people but some of the "names" or so called important that are meant to be the captains of the ship have put up some absolutely wrong and factually wrong advice which would not only put someone at risk but others as well.
So
Resetera links are banned on Twitter now
That's probably for the best. The members on the site actively steered me away from good advice when I was suicidal and in desperate need of help.So
Resetera links are banned on Twitter now

I don't know if any of this is true
I'm not surprised. They are basically a hate site at this point. I think when they started doxxing game developers is when they finally crossed the line and got Twitter's attention though. Doxxing is strictly prohibited at places like that for reasons that should be quite obvious to anyone who is sane.So

Ahahaha "virtual hate crime", these fucking people man...
So your saying reee needs more bannings???THR: Fox News Host Tucker Carlson's Home Targeted By Anti-Fascist Protesters
If you couldn't guess, I'm the user posting as "SpiritUnion."
Straight up calls for doxxing, violence, and people saying they're happy people are finally being honest about desiring political violence.
I had no idea "mob" had such a negative connotation to it. It's a short easy to type word that means "a crowd of people," but there's no coming back from even imaginary sleights against these people anymore, it seems.
I don't understand what's happening to the world. This is extremism happening right in front of everyone, and they bulldoze the people trying to call a time-out.
It's... It's insanity.
And, on a slight tangent. Is there any site rule that ERA will actually enforce absolutely, or is it as politically motivated on a case-by-case basis as it seems?
There's tons of alt accounts over there - many that even use the same names and avatars as their original accounts, like "Dennis8K," or accounts who actively mock the fact that they're circumventing the moderation system, like "Ban Puncher."

At least two.
Apparently what I said deserves a permanent ban, but "doxxing" is a 1 Day ban, and Puck Beaverton, the user saying "No, I meant shooting" apparently doesn't even warrant a warning.
And then of course there's what I've said about how ERA apparently only enforces the alt account rule on a case by case basis.
IE. Users who are obviously alts like "Dennis8K," or who flat-out mock the moderation system, like "Ban Puncher."
There' aren't any rules on ERA, it feels like. At least, the written rules aren't the real rules.
The only real rule seems to be "Don't go off-message and don't get in the way of the mob," and this time I am using "mob" with a negative connotation.
Soooo...
Think its about time somebody started reporting the site to some type of authority.
It's gone off the rails and calls for murder (via fire bombing and/or shooting are being discussed)
It'll get worse before it gets better. Thankfully it seems the deplatforming has started. -_-THR: Fox News Host Tucker Carlson's Home Targeted By Anti-Fascist Protesters

Dude you really shouldn't say that...
*Checks*
18 minutes and banned. Yeah I ain't shocked.
I was already banned. There was no risk in clarifying my username.
DON'T QUOTE MY POSTS BEFORE I REALIZE MY MISTAKE AND EDIT THEM YOU JERK.I was already banned. There was no risk in clarifying my username.
It's not like you were trying to hide who you were or anything. You even had the same avatar, even if the name was slightly different.
I was reporting violent posts for the exact same reason and got banned as well. It basically puts a target on you, they look at your account, and see similarities to one they already banned. And bloop, you're gone, alt-account.At least two.

I hope everyone assist in reporting the site.
Remember, deplatforming is the only way to stop hate.
Are you being sarcastic with that last line? I can't tell.
I'm not in favour of deplatforming unless there is explicit incitement of violence, so, I guess I support it here...?
We need to contain them in one place a mental institute.I hope re doesn't end up collapsing. We need a place to contain the crazies
