I am very glad that more people here are to the left of me rather than the right, but it hasn't seemed to make discussion any easier.

I just don't see the Fediverse catching on widely overall, and if it does it will splinter.

I will no longer tolerate bad faith discussion, targeted violent rhetoric, and blatantly insulting comments.

We have, largely, been better here, and I hope to... if not keep it that way, then at least continue to advocate for a better form of discussion that promotes understanding. I say this because, as a leftist, I have been dragged further left by being here in ways that have measurably changed the lives of people around me.

Keeping a social media space relatively non-toxic HELPS PEOPLE. Let's try.
