"Can't believe they put politics in it"

"In what?"

"The WORLD"

TFW2005 just explicitly banned talking about tariffs at all, anywhere on the forum, because the mods are mad that political discussions are upsetting the very trumpy userbase.

Am I misremembering or did they also try to ban discussion on covid 19 back in the day as well?

theperfectpixl.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s actually still listed on their rules, right above the new tariff rule. Ridiculous

I used to follow that account on Twitter that was every bad post from there and this might be the all time worst

For sure. Stonking album.

Politics have gotten so chaotic, destructive and invasive that you just can't escape them anymore, no matter where you try to escape to.

“I can’t afford anything because the economy crashed.”

*User banned for talking about politics*

I called them out.. Fuckers "Deleted my posts" because of Rule 1 and 3 *not 3.b* so they can't even stand by their own rules. Oh with a "If you do it again.. we MAY lock you from the thread." If you ever wanted to see Wishy washy admins with no stance.. Apparently nazi loving TFW.

It’s mostly to prevent a whack a mole of stuff getting out of hand. Most on staff are pretty liberal.

Citation needed, considering the userbase they allow to run rampant with no oversight.

In a forum related to a franchise about, checks notes, a war about differing ideologies of how a society should be run.
Nothing political there.

Fuckin' just did a spittake

yet another reason to dislike tfw2005

daizucaps.bsky.social•23 days ago

A franchise that has evolved the origin story into a labor/worker uprising-turned two embattled labor unions tale whilst the consumer fans with the least amount of political awareness or sense of solidarity scare the meek and passive social platform owners into non-action is a bit on the nose tbh

They've done similar things before if I remember right from other people. They have a reputation for leaning a certain side, if not coming across that way.

Wonder if the AllSpark forums is still a thing.

galenr.bsky.social•31 days ago

Used to mod at Allspark way back. We used to take heat for banning people, often blamed for being "partisan," when in fact those were only the people who couldn't find a way to not be horrible to others.

This is the nazi bar problem. If you don't keep your place clean, this is what you get.

Can't wait to see how angry people get if/when Hasbro starts cancelling HasLabs still in production.

minmacdougal.bsky.social•31 days ago

Definitely removing TFW2005 from my bookmarks.
If they're gonna let some orange shit-stain and his base run things they're no longer worth the time nor the energy.

slinktheweasel.bsky.social•31 days ago

Oh don't get me wrong.. TFW is bad for this. But need to also start checking Youtubers and such... Every time they try to stay "Neutral" or "Fair" *like Nintendo Prime for example* Then know they aren't worth watching.

boomerthemoose.bsky.social•31 days ago

I've read TFW for years... Although I've avoided the forums (to be fair I avoid forums in general)

But yeah I might quit going there altogether now 😮‍💨

vikingflood.bsky.social•31 days ago

So where do we get our news from now? I walked away from Seibertron years ago for similar reasons

slinktheweasel.bsky.social•31 days ago

Allspark is still... Okay?

sixthpulsar.bsky.social•31 days ago

I for one think that TFW should BLOW IT OUT THEIR ASS
