There a situation going on at SomethingAwful where if ownership isn’t transferred, a vocal group of users is going to leave. Some of them have suggested BreadnRoses.net, which advertises supporting an open community and being inviting to all.

However, it’s too far to the left and focused on solidarity to take all of SA’s threads and even forums.

You have such a mix over there, everything from tech to politics, guns, drugs... a lot like reddit.

It does?

> B+R is a community-owned space that seeks to foster solidarity between people from all backgrounds that share a common character. We reject policies of social dominance, Neo-liberalism, patriarchy, the gender binary, white supremacy, and other social ills espoused by capitalism. We support worker/union/trans rights, empowering those without a voice, and each other.

> Do not advocate for obvious bad shit like landlords/cops/capitalism/etc. This is a leftist space.

Sounds like they're quite explicit about what things they're non-open/inviting about.

Their attitude sounds like D&D/C-SPAM turned up to 11. Even as a Bernie-loving social democrat, I'd have to say 'pass'.

Looks like ownership will be transferred.. but we're talking about Lowtax here.. he's rather unpredictable
