@LexYeen@snouts.online Not only that, but once you leave, once you break free. They will do everything they can to cripple your ability to thrive outside their spaces. So that means mass-flagging campaigns, being made a subject on forums like KiwiFarms or Baphomet, with the goal of alienating you from any remaining friends you have, getting you kicked out of sites and friend groups, and financially disenfranchising you.
They are functionally indistinguishable from a cult.
re: discussion of fascist tactics
@LexYeen@snouts.online In my time with AltFurry and the Furry Raiders, I have seen this tactic at play, and I have seen people who break free end up crawling back weeks later because they "somehow" lost their Twitter account and had nowhere else to go.
This "somehow" involves the leaders, like Len Gilbert and Blumiere/August trawling through social media of targets like leftists, anti fascists, social justice advocates and former members to find reportable snippets, which are then signal-boosted within the group.
This also has the double effect of gaslighting remaining members via information control and propaganda overload.
