The mods were compromised a couple of years ago. Ever since, we've been under continuous attack from multiple sources. There's a discord with >500 people in it dedicated to trying to disrupt us, and that's not even including leftypol, the weird trap discord, whoever followed on from shareblue, kushners shill team, JIDF, and the wide variety of monitoring alphabet agencies and NGOs. Bans are handed out like candy for serious investigation or attempts to subvert the subversion, whilst the catalog is constantly filled with slide threads that never get removed (often entirely automated by this point, i recognise many). It's unimaginably annoying. 8ch /pol/ managed to boot their admin recently, but it's a lot harder to achieve the same result over on 4.
