Well, looks like we are launching a bit earlier than originally planned. This site is fully functional, just a bit limited on some things as we get all the backend worked out. Our CSS is a work-in-progress due to some major differences from how reddit was set up, so that will be coming, it will just look a bit barebones until then.
For the time being we still consider reddit.com/r/kotakuinaction to be our primary site, but will be building this up as a proper backup over time. We actively encourage anyone who wants to coexist on both sites to do so, and have no issue with folks who have finally had enough of reddit's bullshit that decide to make the move here completely now.
Rules are generally going to be the same here as they were on /r/kotakuinaction, but we are thinning them out a bit as some rules no longer need to apply here due to different sitewide rules/TOS from above lifting some restrictions we had to deal with. We will try to get a more complete listing of the newly modified rules up soon, as well as get them listed/linked on the Sidebar and such. Automod is not completely operational here, but will be in the very near future to make that all a bit easier to deal with.
Please be patient with us as we get things in gear. I'll try to keep everyone updated on the progress of things, though some parts will be mostly self-evident as they happen (like the return of the banner/sidebar).
While I would love to go straight into the wild wild west of old 4chan, I understand that I am not the majority. Going to .win means pretty much free speech at its finest, so long as you don't violate American laws. Going along with that is the right to decide what kind of sub you want to run and how you want to run it. Most people don't react to the reading of "niggers, niggers everywhere" with singsong like I might, and I have to accept that. First and foremost, KiA is a place for people united by commons interests: risen gamers, ethics cucks, and untrodden sneks. It's not old /a/ or /v/ reborn.
Accepting that, the general consensus is that we don't care what your opinion is on a topic, as long as you don't come on with the intent of making everybody else suffer from it constantly or openly shit on people just to troll. You wanna have the opinion that trannies suffer from a mental illness? Roll on, accept that you might piss someone off. You wanna say trannies are women, even though they're biologically men, and we should call them by their pronouns? Go for it, prepare to be made fun of in good taste by those that hold the opposite opinion.
Just don't make it the only thing you niggers do, all day, every day.
It doesn't matter what side of the spectrum you're on, right/left, commie/capitalist, etc. Keep your shit concise, keep it contained, and remember that we're here to enjoy your company, not want to leave a pinless grenade in your bunk while you sleep. It is at the discretion of the mods as to what how much is, but it should be fairly obvious in practice. The mods range from leftist to rightist to faggots like me who are pretty laissez faire with pretty much everything. Between all of us, you get the run of it, but we all agree that we're pro-free speech, and that we hate what is happening to reddit.
We also don't want KiA becoming a hugbox for radical whateverists, screaming about the invisibly obvious conspiracy that everybody is missing (pro-tip: it's all marxism) and how the mods are bought cucks, etc, especially when it's retards doing it in topics on "Why did druckmann self-insert himself into a sex scene with a tranny?"
Secret jews do not explain that level of cringe. That's the work of a soylad who has very interesting opinions on women.
So rejoice, this is free speech land. It's also "fuck off with your bullshit" land. If you start knocking people's heads, expect to get thrown out of the bar. Otherwise: enjoy the experience.
I think it's ok having diverse communities with local rules. The problem with plebbit is that you call out something in one sub and get shadowbanned from the rest of them
I completely agree. I believe that extremists should be allowed to form whatever communities they want and be as insular in their hugboxes as they choose. I am very much pro letting people associate with like-minded individuals, and that what you do on one sub should not translate into action on everything you do elsewhere. I hope that people have learned from powermods not to trust single points of failure by putting all their eggs in one basket of a sub.
If someone was pro "socialjusticeinaction" for topics that we don't cover due to lack of focus, it would be good to make another sub specifically for that and I would support such a thing.
plebbit makes you lazy and creates the illusion that you can't make communities by manipulating you.
