Can you tell us more about what was going on? 

Well it's a huge site with tons  and tons of knitting patterns (for sale and free), as well as a huge forum. And they'll be banning anything in support of Trump. For example, they'll no longer be hosting patterns for Trump hats or whatever. 

And no forum posts in support of the administration. No pro-Trump avatars. It's a forum like this, where you can talk about other things too, and politics do come up. And lots of charity knitting gets organized, so if for example it's a group knitting for refugees controversial posts might get made. Things like that.

Knitters and crocheters are a very diverse groups (we're not all old grannies :ladyhaha:) so this is a great step they are making :heart:

Absolutism has always tried to use "righteous and noble" causes to try to justify itself.

I don't support Trump, but why not ban people who openly support white supremacist rather than all Trump supporters? Not all of them do.

This is an absolutist mentality to silent people that you disagree with, even though in your head you think it's because of a nobel cause.

isn't Admin openly a Trump supporter though? Or at least was during the 2016 American election?

I vividly remember them constantly playing "devil's advocate" more than comfort.

I'm not sure about this, but for anyone who is unaware, Admin does not live in the states and therefore couldn't vote anyways.

P.S. It feels really weird to call him Admin all the time. He's Kirill and he seems like a lovely guy.

Trump won't recover after this. 

This is a stupid publicity stunt that will inevitably backfire :ohwell:

No one is being silenced, it's a forum for knitting. Nothing is stopping them from going to another forum.
