Y'all, can we please *not* do the "everyone I disagree with is a chaos agent/Russian/MAGA troll" thing here?

I didn't put it in my bio (beyond pronouns), but it took until I was in my 4th decade to realise I was non binary. I often don't think my gender is important, but today it is. Creating spaces where everyone is welcome is important to me, and a backlash from asking for clarity makes me feel unsafe.

Yep -.-
No one "Invited me into his home" -- he opened up a competing business to another business I liked but was bought by an incompetent monster
It's the height of politeness to point out when similar questionable behaviors are being replicated in the new establishment
A business isn't a home

Quote spouting this because the respout button isn't visible on mobile. But I'm sure there will be those who defend that as a rational and intentional choice for reasons™.

And I got my first thinly veiled threat. Of course it was from a grouchy old white guy who didn't like me calling his framing a dishonest one. And yet it was. Oddly I couldn't delete the nonsense. So I blocked.
This is not boding well for Spoutible being a change from the usual.

So far, Spoutible is giving me a real strong liberal “I want your queer vote but I don’t want to know your queer life.” Just poisonous, tbh.
My LGBT+ brothers and sisters, please check your allies carefully for predictable liberal homophobia.
Meanwhile, the rest of Spoutible is like:

As we approach the first anniversary of Russia's barbaric invasion of Ukraine, let me just repeat:
President Zelensky is a world hero.
Vladimir Putin is a war criminal.
President Biden is right: The United States stands with Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Y'all, let's just be kind to each other. Hear each other. We don't all have to agree. But respect and empathy are free. It's not hard to allow people to feel seen and heard. 🙏

I’d like to believe that we can capitalize on love that is portrayed as kindness, peaceful and unifying more than the love that is portrayed as misogynistic, sadistic, or manipulative.
But there probably isn’t a market for it. Maybe, one day. When we grow up. 😏🤣

Whatever blocks I earn today, I'm fully owning that shit. I will always stand for those who are marginalized and champion their visibility and their voice. No matter what.

I had hoped this wouldn't turn into the same cult of personality the last place was (and Counter.Social is) but I am afraid too many people are happy to lick boots as long as they like the person wearing them.

Absolutely agree they are very different people and Chris has absolutely earned respect. But this lemming crap of "his site, nobody should ever disagree" is how people go from being like Chris to being like Elon.
02:17 PM - Feb 19, 2023
Sad to see people starting to willingly treat Chris the way Elon wanted us to all treat Elon.

For those of you wanting to "move on" from the discussion about site policies relating to adult content, I hope you remember that SW and LGBTQ+ people don't get to just "move on" from a society that still marginalizes or rejects them every day. Please don't do that to them here.

Beats me. Apparently, we can't even have a civil conversation among people who align on most of their values without it devolving into name calling, reporting, suspensions, etc. Over a website policy.
Richard Allaire @gtrman5150How do you initiate conversations with people who have drastically different views? I tend to get stressed and snarky which doesn’t help at all. I get so alarmed at the ignorance and I need techniques to help if you all have any advice.01:43 PM - Feb 19, 2023
