Which view was that? Not doubting, just curious. If we had user overlap with r/MensRights then it's possible some right-wingers made right-wing comments in LWMA.

If you had seen the (now private) LWMA subreddit, you would see that we are left-wing. That is the reason why I do not go to r/MensRights or other red pill communities. I disagree with them and disagree with right-wing views. We needed to archive the posts so they would not be lost, and this is the only way it would have happened.

Edit: And frankly, I kind of agree with a previous comment of yours that the discussions here so far have not been productive. The discussions from the LWMA subreddit were far more productive and interesting. I feel like everything that has been here so far is kind of vapid rehashing of stuff we all already believe. I myself don't feel like I have too much to contribute. I think both LWMA and the Kbin are completely dead, unfortunately.

Yeah, I don't think this is /u/a-man-from-earth's fault. He never shut down the sub afaik; he just resigned and left it to someone else. Even after the Kbin community was started, LWMA was still up for several days after July 1st, long after he resigned as a mod.

I frankly am as curious as /u/thetinman as to who was the mod that shut the community down, because I hoped it would stay open in addition to the Kbin. I could be wrong ofc, since the sub is private there is no way for me to know who it is.

This place on Kbin already seems to have more activity than the old r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates did. That place is basically dead now. It's a shame it fractured the community, but at least this place won't be upended in the future by a greedy and clueless corporation.

Maybe Kbin should add rewards like Reddit had /s. We could give our fellow visitor a Constructive Comment Award.

Just curious, is it possible to see Kbin comments/posts that were deleted by a user or moderator like Removeddit for Reddit (supposing they haven't been archived to the wayback machine)?

Yeah I was a lurker on the subreddit for a long time but never felt i had anything worth saying. Switched over here once i found out i couldn't use Boost for Reddit anymore. I hope the community grows here

What exactly should we have done then? I only claim to speak for myself; in an ideal world I would love to work with feminists, but we're having conversations here that are not permitted in feminist spaces, so we need our own space for that. I hope you'll be open minded and do a little reading here to see what we're about.
