I pretend to be tough but sometimes the things people say hurt my feelings pretty badly, all I know is they're evil, because I have never in my life done what they do (attack random strangers who haven't done anything to me or anyone else, know who I think is evil? Antis. I don't pop up in every anti thread and tell them to kill their fucking selves. And the paraphiles haven't been banding together like we used to, people can say nasty shit to me and it's not uncommon for me to recieve no defense from allys. It's a sad situation.)
If my life had an ending song I would hope it would be something like this

A note on the topic of extreme #freespeech
There are studies showing that *not* moderating discussions and banning people is likely to *decrease* diversity of opinion and viewpoints. In an unmoderated environment extreme and aggressive positions are likely to flourish, smothering the more moderate viewpoints. Constructive discussions get replaced by aggressive fighting, effectively silencing people who become too afraid to speak their mind in a hostile space where they are likely to be attacked by extremists.
If you want free speech you need to provide an environment where people feel safe exchanging ideas and opinions.
I am really sad but I don't think fedi is a good place for map support, idk if anywhere is. When you can't tell who is real and who is a catfish/troll/larper and you have random people being rude it takes a lot of the fun out of socializing. The same can be said irl so don't feel attacked or like you let me down. There is a problem with people and it goes very deep, I don't know if these monkeys will ever act right.
