I’m not an insider, so I don’t know anything that hasn’t been posted.
But I’m invested in the movement; I’ve been protesting at 50501 events since the first one on 2/5.
Whatever the facts, fungi’s recent posts are indicative of a person struggling with their mental health.
The fact that some of these bizarre posts are still pinned to a paused sub shows complete disfunction by whoever controls it now, whatever the reason or excuse. It is doing damage to our cause.
I did join s/50501 movement. Don’t know if they’re in the right or what, but at least it’s open, so I can form a judgement.
I’m sad for everyone involved.
I will be out there on 5/1 with millions of you. Fighting trumpism is the mission. I won’t lose my focus on that. I’m just looking for allies and effective means toward that end.

It seems the one thing everyone agrees on is that the movement is people like yourself — thinking in terms of insiders is risky and should be avoided. Nobody is a bigger part of this than you are. You’re simply not a Reddit mod, and that might be a good thing.
Moving on:
Does it really? I guess some funding is needed for some infrastructure, but I would think funding should be decentralized just like the movement. I don’t think it’s in the interest of the movement that large sums of money are handled centrally. If server costs for sites like https://fiftyfifty.one/ or https://50501.chat/ needs to be covered the people behind them can fundraise directly for that purpose. Beyond that it’s a protest movement, not a political campaign, and money always makes things more complicated. I could be wrong here, but I (of course) think I’m right.
If the user’s story holds up I think most people would experience a mental health episode going through it, so I wouldn’t necessarily hold that against them. The lack of transparency along the way is understandable in a way, but much more problematic in my opinion.
It’s certainly not a great situation. I love the potential of 50501 paired with the Fediverse, and how the movement can be decentralized in a techincal sense throughout several platforms without hindering communication.
