I don't hate y'all, but some of the posts here can be indigestable. Some posts simply assume everyone is on the same page with something - which is likely true, since you've been a community for a long time.

Maybe I'll come back and edit this with an example at some point.

You're witnessing us after we've gone through countless internal debates and purges, some of which will always be legendary. We had a problem with transphobes at the start, they're all gone. We had a really bizarre fight for about a week over whether or not cats should be allowed outside.

My favorite of ours was the weirdly intense debate over if it's ok to stack rocks next to or inside of a river.

There was also BMF, one of the strangest people to ever live. My personal favorite was @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net, who was the most contradictory poster we had. You'd think LiberalSocialist was an elaborate Andy Kaufman level bit of someone pretending to be an annoying liberal, but I think it's always been unclear whether it was a gimmick or not.
