With regards to AH, I can affirm what
@Circle of Willis is saying as being 100% true.
I am a recent immigrant from AH, after witnessing the true face of the board.
Things are terrible there now, especially with regards to the Politics section.
Anything that remotely praises/supports an ideology right of center is regarded with suspicion and distaste.
Anything further and the mods (Thought Police) start putting tabs on you.
Blatant support is a near instant ban by the admin (Big Brother) or the mods (Thought Police).
Many others there are all left wingers, so there is really little to no support for anything that's even a millimeter right of center.
And if you reveal yourself to be disloyal to the "Party" the lefties (Outer Party) will report you and get you banned.
The place is literally turning into 1984 as I speak.
Which is why I chose to get while the gettin's good.
I originally found out about this place long ago but I was still holding out hope that AH was still a decent place.
And then I took 5 seconds to read the AH rules, which revealed the true face of the board.
Their (AH) rules state that supporting Nazism and Holocaust denial are instant banning offenses but makes no mention to Stalinism, the Holodomor, Maoism, the Great Leap Forward, etc.
Unlike here (the Sietch) where all three ideologies are equally prosecutable.
I suggested on AH that the rules be changed to make more sense but my request fell on deaf ears.
Which is why I chose to liberate myself from AH (Oceania) and join the Sietch.
*Rant over*
But yeah, I'm shifting all of my stories over here now.
I've got one Axis Victory TL that I'm currently turning into a 3 book trilogy (I'll still be posting sample chapters and stuff like that), one ASOIAF AU story, one ASOIAF SI story, and a Marvel Earth 616 SI that I'm porting over to my new hideout here. Four in total.
Yeah, basically just add popcorn and a drink of your choice.
At the end of the day, as a strong believer of
ars gratia artis (art for art's sake), I think I've finally found a nice place to hang out without being judged or persecuted.
See y'all around the corner!
