 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Thoughts - I'm not sure this should accurately be considered a social media platform. It's more like an organisation that primarily uses a social media platform to communicate and exist. The sources mainly consider someone to be joining an organisation called the Base, which has a social media platform. I think if it was rewritten to be premised like that, it would be notable. As it is now, it's somewhat misleading. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:26, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

 * I was just going by the earliest report, as "Vice" calls it the name of a social networking platform. Would the term describing a group refer to all users of the platform or only some? I remember years ago silliness like "hacker known as 4chan" (that too is a platform, not a person or group) and don't want to jump to any conclusions.

 * Delete. It exists, and that's about all the sources say. Sub-stub, most of the content is about a semi-related arrest of a user. Not a notable website(?). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:09, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
