I've also heard some ppl suggest we only have difficult context-heavy conversations IRL.... imo this would be net negative in that it would exclude all the less socially connected from the conversation bec they aren't invited to the right parties and ice cream socials

What an obscene concept. Maybe I should use this account to make a point since I'm not that interested in posting here anyway

at some point we'll need our own federated instance, where we can continue our hateful ways. the recent moderation drama has soured me somewhat on this place
