Being attacked by all sides for just trying to provide a safe space for people to interact is mentally draining.

Yup. Meditating on building a bubble around me that only allows in the beneficial but blocks the negative helps me when I feel like that.
Many stand with you.

Mr. Bouzy, your site is astounding. There hasn’t been a social site on this scale since the days of Usenet that wasn’t built solely for profit. I’m inspired to have a public online life myself more than ever before. Your influence is reaching beyond Spoutible and touching the whole Internet.

@cbouzy you are a visionary and a sane and hopeful man. This is a huge challenge you’re taking on; you’re showing a better way for the entire world. That is more stress than I can imagine, I hope in your brilliance you can find a way to take care of yourself and fight another day. We got you ❤️❤️❤️

What other people think of us is completely about them; we are merely the foil for them to explore their innermost selves.
As such, what other people think of us is none of our business. Just keep doing the next right thing.

Sometimes people need a reminder that a door opens both ways. You can walk in and be welcome but ya don’t have to stay.

It is exhausting doing the right thing for the right reason…leading by example.
I promise it’s worth it…
Standing for progress comes in inches…

We appreciate and see all that you are doing to make this a safe and enjoyable space. I know it’s hard to do, but ignore the haters. Don’t let them have the power for you to even give them a millisecond of space in your thoughts. We got your back! Stay strong 💪

Being an admin is a thankless job no matter how many people thank you. I have come to the conclusion that there will always be hateful a**holes and they will be hateful no matter what you do or say. The number of people who are pro-Spoutible and pro-Christopher Bouzy far outweigh the haters.

Take care of you first @cbouzy .

I bet it is. So sorry you have to deal with this. It seems that some people like to find fault no matter what. Keep going. I truly appreciate what you do and most here do too. So thank you! ❤️

Haven't been on much lately bc I can't host guests and chew bubblegum at the same time [introvert problems].
But why do people feel so entitled to conveniences when they have zero skin in the game?
Bouzy, stay the course and thank you for providing a safe place, even for complainers.

It may feel like it, but it isn't from all sides.
There is much appreciation out there. And patience for what might be.

Hang in there Chris. They wouldn’t attack you if you weren’t a threat.
Spoutible is blowing away expectations. And some folks are BIG MAD about that. Let them be.

You've created a place so safe that it'd righly be called an echo chamber, except that most often there's so little discussion that there's no "sound" echoing at all.
I know you can't make folks post ideas, but you can create a place that allows users to 100% squelch dissent, & you have.

EG:
This platform has a news bot user, & it posts a lot of discussion-worthy content, yet rarely, if ever, do folks post replies to the stuff the news bot posts.
If I block A, not only does that stop A from responding to me, it also stops A from interacting w/all posters in threads I create.

How can we help?
What can we do to make things better for you?
The majority on here greatly appreciate all that you do.
I am clueless on tech.
I can help with stress though.
Feel free to DM me

comment moderation is a nightmare, true. It drove the TNC Horde to end Open Threads at the Atlantic, was that more than 10 years already?
but you HAVE to filter out the haters and the ragers and the liars. Honest discourse requires it.
