I absolutely mourn the loss of a useful tool and my awesome communities. but I'm pretty excited to be watching something new grow out of it.

I could use a boost! I'm already in the weeds!!

I did both!

I wish I could upvote you twice.

given the nature of the fediverse and what we just escaped from, I'm not sure I'd be willing to sacrifice my newfound freedom from that kind of stuff. but I'll try them all.

I clicked the link and thought, I'll read this and be done. RIF is also kaput. I've decided to keep it installed because all my Reddit links default to RIF and this way I won't accidentally give Reddit any traffic.

hooray! I'm so glad I could help.

you're not wrong. I feel brow beaten but that's really because politically I have no idea where I stand anymore. I'd probably take it less to heart if I was more firm on my own views. I may seem to tapdance a little around the issues trying to be thoughtful of other people's opinions. thank you for your thorough and kind insight. I have previously kept my opinions to myself but l am trying to grow as a person and that means engaging in meaningful discourse.

also according to this strangely written article the design request in question was fabricated ...

" almost all of the more than 8,000 subreddits that went dark have opened up."

nuh unh

I'm already disheartened after a single day because I did in fact engage in a thoughtful discourse but was summarily reprimanded. I was hoping this environment would be different than the echo chamber that was Reddit.

I hope it's not.

let me start by acknowledging that I merely wanted to express that it's not just "extreme right buffoonery" that's a problem. to claim that there is no such thing as "extreme left
buffoonery" is misleading.

my comment clearly stated that the extremes on both ends are to be despised. politics is a game I don't wish to be judged on because I'm seriously apolitical. we do need to meet in the middle. I'm not saying we need to forgive the "buffoonery" but cut out the rotten fruit and make a fucking jam. ideals are not arbitrary in any way. our ideals are built through life experience. I'm seeing a whole lot of each side trying to dehumanize the other for not agreeing with their politics. The "right" has rational, reasonable, kind humans who believe in human rights. but the fact that they may have a stance on the nanny state that the country is becoming somehow makes everyone who's not a professed Democrat evil.

regarding hate speech, frankly I've experienced more than my fair share. but that doesn't count, right?

I don't tolerate hate speech, on either side of the fence.

Thank you for calling that out.

I may have misunderstood the intent of the post. sometimes I skim without meaning to.

frankly I'm a little concerned by it. I want my opinions to be valued if I'm going to share them. frankly I already don't feel welcome and this is literally day two and not even a political /m/.
