Supporting act
gollark: So what do you actually hope to gain by confusingly and quite noticeably refusing to mention the existence of esoserver?
gollark: As far as I know most discussion and invitation to esoserver happened over DMs anyway.
gollark: You're quite literally metaphorically acting like a repressive authoritarian government (I mean, not torturing people and such, but denying the existence of opposition, thinking you're the only one who can save the people from themselves, censoring anything (invites) which *might be* opposition), except with less power since you can't stop people directly communicating with each other.
gollark: That would probably not have helped.
gollark: Olivia left, but they were on there a bit.
