The Issue
As more and more citizens connect to each other through the Forest RMB, there has been a spike in online threats to seize control and the termination of several threads, particularly ones created by government officials.
The Debate
“A threat posted on Last User to Post Here Wins isn’t any less credible than one made over on discord or via telegram,” suggests Jutomi, Garbelia’s personal bodyguard and cocurrent police officer, as @@HE@@ adjusts @@HIS@@ appendage multi-colored binocular-sunglasses. “There are many organized groups on there who are dedicated to spreading hate and throwing shade, including some who advocate a violent overthrow of the real winner of the thread! That winner being me. We need to increase surveillance on this site and make due warnings on anyone who threatens the sovereignty of the thread. Fun and games be damned!”
“I agree that these threats should be taken more seriously, but becoming a surveillance state isn’t the way to do it,” replies Jutomi_Clone1, an acne-prone young adult behind the bot you see on screen, and veteran of no less than three minecraft wars. “The problem is the site is in utter lack of effective moderation. You should see some of the comments trolls such as myself get away with! Force Mount Seymour to create effective policies to deal with this sort of thing and notify the Border Patrol officers if anything gets too serious.”
“What about MY free speech?” demands notorious far-center troll Jutomi_Clone71012834571995996-φ-2b, i.e. Jutomi. "People should be allowed to say whatever they want, especially if it’s me! It’s not my fault that these overly-sensitive communist otters can’t handle some choice criticisms or if some of my followers send threats to overthrow this thread. You know what I do when someone threatens my sovereignty? I laugh it off and actually go through with overthrowing them right back! We don’t need a government nanny state jumping on the “ruler-correcting” bandwagon. Unless it helps me win or secures my rightful place as supreme ruler of this thread and all of nationstates. That would be nice. MS or Ru ya think either of ya could give me a promotion?"
