"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

MODERATORS
Early this morning u/DrunkAlunya and I woke up seeing that u/Alexitine (the top mod in this community) had added u/FamousPlan101, one of the National Bolsheviks (or Nazbols - what are nazbols?) from the ACP as a moderator. Immediately after that, the mod list was reordered and some of us most active mods in the community (like u/DrunkAlunya and u/HeinrichTheWolf_17) were removed as well.
As soon as we realized that this subreddit got infiltrated by those fascists, some of us mods got in touch with each other and decided on how to proceed. We then contacted Reddit's support and eventually, we were able to remove u/FamousPlan101 and reinstate as mods the same old team that was here.
It is our belief that u/Alexitine's account was hacked because (as you can see in the screenshot) the account had been inactive for some time and, out of nowhere, one day we received a warning from Reddit saying that the account tried to add someone to the moderation team. That warning got buried in the modmail but, looking at the modlog, we can see that after that warning, u/Alexitine's account became active again in an effort to gain the 'active' status. And this morning, when the account finally returned active, the whole shitshow happened.
Whoever is using u/Alexitine's account tried explaining away the whole situation by sending the message you can see in the screenshot in the mod group chat. Mind you, that was the first and only message we had received from u/Alexitine in months. And after that, nothing else.
We have mentioned all of this to Reddit's team of course. However, their reply (so far) was that they believe u/Alexitine's account was NOT hacked...
Because of Reddit's reply, at the moment we are unable to fully remove u/Alexitine as top moderator sadly. But rest assured that we the other mods we are continuing to HEAVILY monitor the situation and keep an eye out for more practical resolutions.
In the meantime, I would like to thank all the users that kept telling those fascists to fuck off from this community 🫡

Also I want to add something on FamousPlan101 first removal of two most active mods who are trans themselves is too on the nose, because FamousPlan101 is an openly known transphobe of ACP, if he was smart enough he'd wait a while before removing everyone but the fact that he went for the few trans mods on the sub proves how problematic him and Alexitine.
