It doesn't look like a default XenForo setup from 2003 so it already has advantages over Ian's shithole. Also seen a lot of people on the thread talking shit about Ian which is funny. Rumours already circulating that CalBear has found out about it and is SEETHING, including wanting to look matching usernames so he can ban people on AH.com for daring join another forum.
I'll keep an eye on this place but while the moderation is probably going to be somewhat less jackbooted I doubt the forum culture will be any better. Their site rule explicitly talks about LGBT representation so I'm not inclined towards hope here.
I admit I wish I didn't get banned a while back just so I could mine the salt there currently. It really seems like AH.com's Chat is spiraling over realizing that demographics isn't destiny and their insane leftism isn't nearly as popular even online, much less in reality, than they imagined it to be.
Is there anyone there trying to knock some common sense into them?
Why would anyone even bother? They would just get banned, and the histrionic fags would go back to bemoaning their ill fortune and crying about the far right.

In my heart of hearts I know you're right, of course, but those moments when the veil drop and they're forced to confront the real world are always genuinely hilarious to watch.

And you are right to not be inclined towards hope, the mother site is infested and the only reason this isn't obvious at the first glance is that they try to hide it behind corpo-culture.
"because of this whole "First Amendment""
How incredibly painful freedom of speech is to them. It must really make the programming harder, the whole right to disagreeing and questioning things.
If there's an appetite for it I could trawl over more of their inane comments. As it is now I just pick comments I find the most obviously deranged and funny.
Literally impossible with the moderation the way it is. I find it incredible that for such a small, niche community there's so many bans handed out. It's to alternate history as NeoGAF is to video games.

Fresh off the press, we have AH.comers reacting to Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Ten, count'em, ten different users over the span of an hour falling over each other to talk about how they think Charlie Kirk was a fascist that literally murdered heckin trans folk and got what was coming to him. Complete and utter disconnect from reality.
Kirk was a complete nothingburger of a conservative. Dude was literally used as a joke among many right wingers of someone who is way too weak and willing to compromise.
The fact people act as if he was some KKK grandwizard or Neonazi is proof that they are delusional communists.

Holy shit, that's A&N levels of psychopathy right there. If you can't have a consistent moral standard where murder is bad, there is something deeply wrong with you.

If they think this way about Charlie Kirk, then is anyone truly safe from these people?
They haven't stopped, either. Will Ian apply the rules consistently and ban anyone? We will see.
We're now up to 19 different users cheering Kirk's death, including one who said his family would be better off without him and calling another user revolting for daring to show basic human empathy. I have not included anyone I already screenshotted who are still gravedancing on this man. Where are the normally ban happy mods?
I am loathe to double post, but I was curious as to whether any of the above comments or myriad number of new ones had merited any kind of action by the moderators. I checked the "Kick and Ban Thread" and here are the most recent actions:
Ian and CalBear seem to have completely abrogated any responsibility for reigning in their most unhinged users in order to crack down on imaginary racism. Peak windmill crusading.
The only thing giving me strength from groaning more over these freaks is they are exactly the epitome of obese troons and weak soyboy caricatures but as real-life flesh, and so utterly helpless in the real world.
And it shows you that these sites, even if they sometimes want to hide this fact, are taken over by blue-haired lunatics, that think that bad words are worse than literal murder, and in fact will cheer for killers and violence. The mods are responsible for this and support it.
Ian bans a user for daring to suggest the tranny chaser who called Kirk a fascist might be left wing:
Anyways, I saw one particular comment so laughable that I had to pick on it:
>mainstream websites like this one
In what fucking universe is alternatehistory.com a "mainstream website"? Kiwi Farms has more users and relevance then this shambling zombie of a history forum. Virtually ever Youtuber that AH.comers shit on have far more reach and input on the genre then anything coming out of their site.
LMAO "mainstream website" is a good one. Internet is not real life, especially not niche forums about such autistic shit.
These people not only live in echo chambers, they are PROUD of the fact they don't know or understand their enemies. They think even hearing their enemies explain themselves in their own words is some sort of cognitohazard which will cause them physical pain.
