  • Yeah for me personally betterment would be self reflection and acceptance leading to the kind of stability/confidence needed to better support your community. For some people it might be getting to a place where they feel healthy enough physically to spare some energy for more community work. It’s a spectrum and in today’s world I think finding yourself and finding that contentment in life is a massive task. Consumer culture and spcial media scream individualism, it’s hard to break back into a more collective mindset.












  • Seeing human rights being brushed off as just an opinion is brutal, I hate remembering that there are people out there that are so full of hate. But! I have seen nothing but people pushing back against that kind of thinking as well as moderation and comment removals when things get to be too much or unproductive. I think while this is a safe space, it’s not a sanitised space in that there will occasionally be some people asking questions in good faith and unfortunately a few in bad faith. To me, it’s worth having a little bit of flexibility for people to ask questions in good faith so they might be positively influenced. Trouble makers will get removed or leave on their own (like the user linked in your post) over time.

    Thats not to say i think you should be subjected to comments that make you uncomfortable its just that unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible to have a online community that will meet everyone’s standards of safe 😕


  • I see a thread of people shitting on an asshole calling human rights an opinion? It looks like he has 2/3 upvotes but if there was a downvote button i guarantee their comments would be in the negatives. It doesn’t look like a debate to me but people telling someone that it’s not a debate and if they think it is one they can go elsewhere. I guess the whole conversation could be removed but i think having one so full of support for transrights being human rights is good for other readers to see. If they agree with the asshole, they’ll know their “opinions” aren’t welcomed or supported here.
