You don't need to scroll: The new subreddit is r/50501Movement

As many of you are aware, there was a bunch of drama on r/50501 related to the originator, Evolved_Fungi. I can't hash out the details because I don't know them. I can't say I agree with some of the mentality that certain people in the movement have about discussing the issue: I think open discussion, to a point, should be tolerated and even encouraged.

To keep that discussion from overwhelming other, more productive discussion as we move forward, I'm going to limit it to this megathread. Please keep all discussion about the controversy/drama regarding r/50501 and Evolved_Fungi in this thread.

Thanks, everyone! You're the most awesome people in the world, and you inspire me with your patriotism! Keep fighting the good fight!

Seems like a pretty messy situation, whatever is going on.

Underscores the need for the movement to remain decentralized, if anything. If this is about centralizing power in centralized media it's a bit worrying.

There's an argument to be had for some level of central coordination of things like protest dates, but even that can be highly decentralized. Ironically, I'm seeing organizers and volunteers in some areas promote decentralization while simultaneously grouping participants into "insiders" and "outsiders." I think the ship can be righted, but we really need more people everywhere to step up. More organizers/volunteers = less centralization.
