There’s a noticeable contingent of activists from the Green Party popping up here just to push their party line,
it wouldn't be such an issue if they didn't insist on trolling every single thread regarding the new administration's performance or the Mayor's policies—they're even active over on the Washington, D.C. subreddit. They tend to get quite aggressive with anyone who dares to disagree...
I personally ended up with quite a few warnings after getting into it with one of their supporters, and several others have been banned from the Washington, D.C. sub for the exact same reason.
So, I’m curious about the moderation policy here: is it permissible to discuss local civic issues in a way that ensures Green Party activists are sanctioned when they start trolling?

From what I can tell, this Reddit is crawling with anti-establishment trolls just looking to derail every single thread.

From what I can tell, this Reddit is crawling with anti-Trump activists just looking to troll every single thread.

(Just so we’re clear: I’ve got zero ties to Trump. I checked out of politics back in 2009, and I’ve been clashing with some of these people since way before that.)

To prevent any misunderstanding: I am speaking generally about activists from all political sides—though my focus lately has been on those associated with the Green Party, who have been causing far too much friction recently... they've truly overstepped their bounds.

It’s a relief to know I’m not just imagining things—it definitely feels like there are a lot of them out there. 😉

(Just to clear the air here: I don't have any connection to M! whatsoever. Honestly, I checked out of politics way back in 2009, and I’ve actually had my fair share of disagreements with some of those folks in the past.)

Even if there really are people actively working against Možemo, I suppose they aren't some unified or organized faction; rather, they seem to be a bunch of independent individuals from all walks of life. Most of them are probably just regular citizens living in Washington, D.C., who might feel critical toward Možemo for one reason or another, and maybe occasionally resort to a bit of trolling now and then. So, I guess that comparison doesn't quite hit the mark.

But hey, if Možemo decides to toss Anderlon a little bribe for some new servers and perhaps a hundred square feet of city space, then by all means, let them lobby!

Everyone on the Politics subreddit has their own dedicated fan clubs. It’s just how things work, and honestly, it isn't just about the Green Party.

Forun was basically just the Green Party before they officially became the Green Party! 🙂

Look, I don't care what they decide, just please—don't go banning me or scrubbing my posts every time I decide to be a little critical regarding sv. TT 😉
Honestly, acting like that just pushes me away from the whole group ;-)

You been scrolling through a few posts on this topic lately? Maybe take a breather and try to dig up a positive take regarding TT 🙂

You only got flagged because you started playing games with a clone account.

I ended up making this burner account because I got slapped with a three-week ban just for calling out TT—honestly, I couldn't help myself—so I figured, why not just lean into the joke?
Not that it matters much now, though; everything actually got sorted out a few months back.

So, did you check out that thread over on TT? I mean, what’s the vibe like over there right now? 😉

Kenneth Cruz67 said:Look, even if those anti-Možemo activists actually existed, they aren't some organized mob. It’s just a bunch of random, disconnected people—mostly regular folks from around Washington, D.C.—who have their own reasons to be fed up with the party or just want to troll for kicks. That comparison you're making? Total garbage.

It’s not everyone, obviously, but there’s definitely an organized mob out to get M! on Reddit, Facebook, news sites, and everywhere else online. And yeah, they take it offline too. It's this totally unified group, driven by ideology, working through four different parties that all team up in Washington, D.C. to fight them in local councils and neighborhood boards: the Republican Party, BM365, the Democratic Party, and the Bridge.

If they're gonna throw some serious cash at Anderlon for those new servers and grab us at least a few thousand square feet of prime downtown real estate, then fine—let them lobby.

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. All there. ☕

Well, there you have it. You know the deal! 👍

Man, I was basically the Green Party before the Green Party even existed. 👍 Back in the 90s, the Green Party was basically out there footing the bill for the European Green Party.

I was basically the Green Party before the Green Party was even a thing... 👍 (Back in the 90s, certain groups were basically acting on behalf of the European Green Party)

Honestly, you and TT might as well be cut from the same cloth—same roots, same results...

Not really. I’m 25 years older than him. He’s the one cut from my cloth. 🎉
