This should not be a surprise. How can communists win without the authority of moderation in our spaces? We cannot. We are hopelessly outnumbered both organically and by western Mil-Int bot farms. Add that you’re on a platform controlled by those same people and it’s obvious what would happen to a space with one moderator who doesn’t have the time or inclination to be super-active.

Let this be a lesson. I’d abandon that sub and not look back. Jingjing had good intentions but that is as we see here clearly not enough. The reactionaries are going to get that sub banned because of lack of moderation most likely and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try to reddit-request it after and make it officially anti-communist.

IMO move on. Don’t fight, don’t play their games on their platforms on an uneven field. Go back to sino, go back to genzedong and so on and so forth. Let the reactionaries have an unimportant sub that was largely a cross-posting space for one person’s content (good as it might have been) and don’t be bothered by it.

Jingjing made choices. Only she can decide what to do. The best thing would be to lock the sub down, private it and re-open with new mods slowly with approved submissions only and a heavy ban-hammer hand. If she’s not willing to do that then we can’t fix that.
