I am not on the moderation team. In fact, I consider the mods are total assholes and jerks lmao. However, I do enjoy Madeline’s streams, so that is why I stay, but if it was for the mods, I would have left already.

    yes they are and i hope it's out of ignorance or inexperience or else madeline is going to be surrounded by mods who keep pushing away the people she's trying to reach.

    and -- anecdotally speaking -- i wish i could say that this was unique to her, but it seems to be REALLY common for all leftist groups -- they're not all fond of new people who don't fit the image of what they're expecting.

    Not always, for instance, in the Second Thought discord channel, the mods are pretty cool. However, the old guard mods did tend to be jerks. But the latest ones (the ones who now remain) are lovely.

    the difference is that pendelton's identity, aesthetics, and bubbly personality transcends the gatekeeping stereotypes and it keeps her message accessible, whereas second thought is just another voice -- it's an exceptionally well done and noteworthy voice, but it's still more of the same as before and unpalatable to most as a result.
