Except that people have already chosen to get into your system. If they didn’t desire your system, they wouldn’t be in it. They have already chosen for you to have some authority.

oooor, they know that they can demand my (and every other admin’s) recall, and the fact that they haven’t proves they just trust us.

Who are you to tell me what to do?

bed-time is authoritarian, amirite?

You didn’t tho. Despite who organized the vote etc. the post stands posted by an Admin, and the post is in clear violation of your own stated Code of Conduct.

Nu-uh. Lol. Ok you’re stuck in a loop, buddy. You’re gonna have to try harder than that.

Without tools to recognize bias, framing, and authority signals, “self-organization” becomes a tool for the charismatic or well-connected to dominate.

Mate, it’s an niche online forum run by neurodivergents. Charismatic and well-connected we ain’t.

Have you considered that perhaps anarchists who don’t agree with you simply don’t feel that it’s worth the effort to try to challenge your power structures? Judging by the way you respond to me, it would be futile as anyone who disagrees with you isn’t a true anarchist.

Of all the political people, you think it’s anarchists that would be loathe to call out bad power structures? Are you sure this is the argument you want to run with?
