People just don't want to hear the true I guess. Their lose.

I've just got no clue on this one.

Yeah I really don't get it either.

lol

Basically...

I think the best approach at this point is ask "who? Never heard of him" when he's brought up.

Not gonna take that tack myself.

Its hard for people to accept the truth or not. Some people have to understand that.

I can find no reason in this.

It's completely opaque.

No reason eh?

'w'? Interesting... 'Posting about them, even negatively'... Does that also mean we cannot talk about the defeat of the nazis in ww2? That's... Odd...

I think I know what it is. They're doing damage control, treating it as if you're waving a cape for the trolls to come at you to challenge you, increasing the work of the admins... Possibly... I dunno.

I dunno either. How could I?

Try asking sciggles . Politely of course ... What the fark?

I'm nothing if not polite.

I suspect its cause of how volatile this is and how stupid folks are being.

I suspect you are correct.

The 'You won't have a warning on your account' means they're likely damage controlling. You weren't at fault, but they're trying to maintain order somehow.

Trying to be impartial perhaps

Playing it safe the way I see it

It is possible that they are concerned about FA being targeted and are clamping down on any discussion of Kirk to prevent that possibility.

FA is already being targeted by some rightwing bigots, but it seems they're not smart enough to leave a dent in the site yet. Most of them just spout vitriolic bullshit on their safehaven echochamber, twitter.

You're not wrong, but it's the bigots in the White House they're likely concerned about.

I doubt it. There's been plenty of discussion on here about Kirk's murder in journals that weren't deleted.

They are most likely just attempting to play things safe.

Doesn’t make it any less morally questionable, though.

When Charlie Kirk dies it's a national tragedy and a crime to say even single negative thing about him, but when people like Melissa Hortman die it's just another day in the USA.

Apparently so.

Well that's the most vague-ass reason. IIRC that journal didn't actually solicit hate toward CK. I agree with the others it's prolly just damage control but it's scary that just trying to have a discussion can be tacked as "hate speech" or whatever. Damn...

As I said, I really can't imagine how anything said in that journal could be perceived that way. I've been really level headed on this.

I didn't think you would, you've always been very reasonable with this stuff. Sounds like FA blowing things out of proportion out of fear from the oligarchs.
This whole Kirk stuff is really wearing me thin

I've got no Idea what their reasoning on this was, hence this post.

I doubt that it was due to "Fear from the oligarchs", though.

Okay so:

While clearly bad, I think that since it says "automatically generated" that "Charlie Kirkkk" msy be a flagged word or phrases. It is entirely possible that the FA staff are using AI to auto mod content.

Now, remember the part where you wrote about religious nationalism? I didnt actually get a chance to read that journal before it was removed. But with religious nationalism comes authoritarianism. Right now, outside of FA, we have seen a formal move to legally modif trans identify into "TIVE" or trans identity violent extremism, effectively saying that if you can be framed or accused of an extreme act of violence, it is *because* of transgender status or "ideology".

Soooo, remember how furries by proximity to lgbt creators and people as well as being "an other" to many people (despite them craving our work) are also in the crosshairs of this extremist conservative movement and rigid administration. They literally want to socially profile furries, and FA is probably being watched by the FBI in general, but likely has a more direct order now to "research" it. FA staff probably know this and are preemptively removing anything that could endanger the site by speaking ill of a hero to the administration that currently controls the FBI and reports to the administration.

On the other side, FA may just not even want Kirkkk mentioned because with his name brings notoriety to his hate idealogy. While not ideal due to censorship, removing the ability for users to go in depth abt Kirkkk with code adjustments that target character length, could also be a means to purge references to him in general. This is in the period immediately following his death in order to do damage control.

I at the end of the day, do not believe in political intimidation to censor critique of the dead and think your journal should be restored. But, I do see why FA wants to cover its ass with an iron alloy 100x100 sqft block. Id advise to keep a low profile, and dont talk political on discord as well--we have confirmed they are monitoring discord in ways not unfamiliar to the USA spying on its citizens using extremism and profiling as their excuse to do so. Same shit. Different coat of paint.
