I have retreated for 15 years on and off. Nothing really major, I don’t really bash anyone. I certainly don’t threaten or stalk.
It’s been just a bit of a game, I’ve found another site lately that I actually can talk a bit more and bash the owner without being banned. It’s more open, and that’s a huge thing.
FR is a closed site. You bow to JR and bukakke or else.
I slept through the 2008 purge. I was overseas and logged in the next day to see the smoldering ruins.
I left for a while as the 2012 election was approaching. It got a little too contentious to the point of being very tiresome. And I loathed both of the people running for Prez anyway.
FR is going to get another purge, but JR might be too sick to pull it off. He seems to be letting people like bukkake run the place now.
It’s kinda sad, but they’ll ban me and hate all newcomers and the site will die with JR. And JR led that mentality, and that’s how it is.
Lol.. I remember Hot Tam!
Probably the longest lasting alt I had, glad you remembered it.
Jim is in my prayers. He’s dealing with a lot and I admire his fighting spirit.
Do you guys go by IPs or only cookies? Early on it was both. Later with VPN and cookie awareness to delete I bet it got harder for you guys.
Always ‘protonmail’ signups, or are you guys smart enough to analyze writing patterns?
Ansel actually impressed me on getting those last 2.
IPs are useless in this day and age. Patterns stick out more than many believe.
Eh, JR told me after he banned me the first time I donated the next week cause the old howlin led coven took a hard time on me. I asked for a refund and he said ‘I don’t know what to tell you’ then he said ‘up yours’ and he knew it was me.
Guy’s a prick. I hope he recovers, but he wrecked doing that stuff what could’ve been a still good site.
Wait.. wasn’t there one back during the 2008 elections? (Or was it 2012?!)..
Hmm.
Yeah, it’s a bitch to change speech/writing patterns for a real human.
Snowden basically said in 2013 it only took a bit. I’ve tried to randomize my responses and patterns, but it takes just too much effort even on short posts.
Oh, and even I don’t allow cookies.
The best way to track anyone would be through an email (I do use proton also).. but you have to know how to read the header info to track.
I think you got me cause I actually liked your posts and responded, but it’s a good job.
Well I used random generated protonnmail for FR accounts I’ve done. I’d hope there’s no headers linking back.
But the fact that you use random generated protonnmails will link you back in a way too.
No problem, you and I always talk on your way out.
I appreciate that actually.
The funny thing is you’ll never see me say really a leftist thing.
But if you’re not a bukkake or JR gobbler, you’re gone and that’s just been how it is. I think I do piss them off that I’m pro-Ukraine and Desantis though.
I bash the oldeer timers on here for gobling JR too, that’s all it takes to need to fight to be on here.
You mean SimpleLogin supported by and with Proton?
I also use that.
Don’t worry, we can’t see any of your email info. Just a few of us that keep an eye out for patterns... people always slip-up.
(BTW, I was a retread long ago. Was zotted for getting drunk one night and being stupid (around 2005 or 2006 I think... it happens).
Not all retreads are bad. Just the ones that like to stir things up.
For me, lesson learned (don’t drink and type).
No wonder I missed that one.. I avoid these Uke/Rus threads as much as possible, unless calls for my attention :P
