As I said before this is an unsafe site for Indigenous people. I’m out. Don’t bother DMing me. I’m scrambling my password and locking myself out of my own account. I’ve grown to care for and trust a lot of you so it’s hard to leave but it is clear that this site isn’t for me. I understand that the world and internet at large is really shitty to vegans so I understand and support the need for a safe space to process your experiences and to practice your dunks. All the best, signing off.

        I am not new, but this heavy handedness against non-reactionaries who have legitimate problems with the way things are going is. To me at least.

          I just browse here like 5 min a day and this site and its moderation is a fucking train wreck. There's 0 way I will ever become more engaged, but I enjoy some of the memes here. My unsolicited opinion is that it's wasted energy on the goal of trying to achieve some leftist utopian online space. You can rationalize it as tangentially related to praxis, and I don't doubt those involved doing other things that are great but this website...damn.

          edit I know this comes off as wrecking but I have trouble seeing the point of this website in the bigger picture of an american (yeah this site is american) leftist project. reddit existed already, and served a purpose to help pull people left, but so far ive seen this platform push more people away than educating and maybe I'm being cynical here but i value overall positive outcome more than purity pissing contests. I fully expect to get banned for this comment.
