the cool thing is now we're going to get a thousand posts in response from people who never saw the original post that talk about it being "making a list of queer people to harass" instead of "making a list of people who defended lolicon/cub art" and we're going to also ignore that it was a post from someone sharing their personal experience being groomed by a family member and their own csa survivor story

because whether you agree with their post and how they went about it or not, there's a big difference between "is mad about people defending this content because it hurt them as a child" and "making lists of queer people to call pedophiles for no reason because they're queer and this person hates queer people"

but the discourse machine is going to make sure that now everyone is just reacting to other people's interpretations of the post instead of the post itself because the post itself was up for like two seconds

in reply to @lori's post:

idk who blocked who or what happened but it sure is amazing seeing 21 comments and only actually seeing 2, this is a really good way for things to work and isn't weird at all

Right now it says this post has 23 comments and only 4 are visible. Real weird shit going on under the hood of this website (edit: when i logged out 5 comments of 25 listed comments were visible. Holy fuck)

I'm not sure if someone in the chain locked their account, or if they blocked everyone I've known that has looked at this thread since it happened, or a mod deleted it all, but there's just a weird absence of a long thread now and I think a site should at least make it clear what happened there in its UI.

If it's someone blocking/locking it should still show the comments from people who I follow who definitely don't have me blocked in the chain.

I mean I saw most of that thread until it all disappeared. It was people more or less debating the term "explicitly" wrt accusations. But now it's just gone and I don't know why and this is a bad way for whatever happened here to be handled. Entire threads shouldn't just vanish. If someone in the thread went dark it could at least say "can't be shown" or whatever like Twitter does, or if it's deleted show deleted like reddit. But I don't even know which one of those it was because it's just nothing. And I don't see why someone in a thread blocking me or locking their account or whatnot should make every reply vanish too. That seems like a weird way to remove other people's posts if you want to.

if by "art" you mean drawings there were definitely people in that list that absolutely did not want that

i don't want to assume bad faith or whatever it's called but i don't want a post like this making things even more confusing
