For a long time, many of us had to have our guard up on other platforms; we don't have to do that here. Let's treat one another with respect and have respectful debates. Let's show the world that social media doesn't have to be toxic.

Thank you Christopher. I have basically left all the other platforms I’m on with the exception of promoting Spoutible to my friends on the other sites.

I think people may have forgotten how to have healthy discourse. Hopefully this will make a come back.

I would love that but I got treated pretty badly because I dared to disagree with a few people on here. I reported the spouts cause they I thought crossed the line. Never heard from anyone about it.

I'm still going to keep my guard up. Vetting new follows, reading subtext, etc. Since the Algo is non existent here, follower/ following won't matter, and I intend to curate what comes across my feed to use this platform to bring joy into my online life.

That's a nice sentiment and I did believe that a month ago, but it's clear to me that as long as something involves people, a certain level of setting boundaries will ALWAYS be necessary.
Just because someone is on Spoutible, doesn't make them trustworthy. I vet every single person that I follow

You're not wrong. Let's just see what happens and try to do the best we can with what we now know. 👍

I have to go to the bird site for commitments I made, but I can’t wait to get done and get back here! It’s like opening the windows in the spring!

But Daaaaad! They started it! lol.
Of course, you're right. Will...try...to resist.

That’s what #Resist should pivot to: Resist getting into useless toxic fights with bad faith right wingers 😂 I’m doing my part. It’s easier without Twitter. 🐳

I don’t have to have my guard up… but I also don’t have to use my “angry persona” here either! 😂😂

I have confidence in your ability to keep the haters, bots and trolls out Chris. I read that you have A LOT of educated experience in the passed with this issue. It is comforting to have you running the show. Thanks for all you do. *smile*

I had an awesome discussion on here this evening. No arguing involved, just a civil discussion about politics and the whole blue vs red state issue. I actually forgot you could have sane dialogues on the internet.

But I thought that step one was to go straight to an ad hominem attack! A reasoned argument might take some getting used to.

I feel happy when I'm here, Christopher. Not stressed or tense. Such a good feeling!

Exactly! It’s okay to use your inside voice when you disagree with someone or something. If you move on, you’ll discover your “peeps,” and, simultaneously, keep the peace. It’s really that simple. 😊

Exactly! When I was on facebook and twitter I had problems with my personal information, photos, where I lived, high school, college, etc. That's why my avatar is a photo of my dog.

I respond to comments on my spouts daily & everyone has been friendly and respectful, even when we don't see eye-to-eye. Our tone sets THE tone. Written words can be misinterpreted due to lack of facial expression/voice tone and bias/perceptions of the reader so I try to remind myself of that.

Trying to learn how to navigate, find people I like to follow, but so far so good. Next up: the app???😘

The app is still under development, Chris said it'll be available in March, just a couple of weeks.

Please explain to me how continuing to call people trolls and dunking on marginalized people who had legit questions about a policy they'd never read before is respectful and not toxic. I live-spouted your Spaces yesterday. I think you should read the thread.

I’ve seen political posts here that I don’t agree with but I don’t feel the need to engage. I’m afraid of having my bird app guard still up. Maybe once I settle in but probably not even then. I’m tired of arguing about politics. People will believe and act as they see fit. 🤷🏾♀️

Spoutible is doing the right thing. It's why I'm happy to be here.

I have graciously blocked a few chaos makers and hope everyone else does too. Thanks for this site.

Twitter has been invaluable in so many ways as was Facebook in its early days.
You have an incredible advantage learning from their mistakes.
You’re doing an amazing feat creating @Spoutible
I’ll trust you but always keep one eye open, Mr @cbouzy .
Keep listening to our ideas and feedback. ♥️

Thank you so much for creating and standing by this safe space. Since I joined on Day 1, I have been smiling while here. I had an exchange with someone and we had differing opinions and it was RESPECTFUL!!! No name calling or angry bitter words. How absolutely refreshing and comforting. 💗
