We don't hear things like
50% of the board is tall people
50% of the board is Conservative
50% of the board received bailout money
We need to always focus on the underlying >issues<
Esp. with oligarchs' media trying to deflect attention spans

@snow@qoto.org Interesting. I love the Bible but have also been part of the church since childhood.

@UnselfishTeamGuy@gab.com Ah, okay; sorry, I thought when you said grooming you were referring to child grooming, which is done in the case of pedophilia.

When it comes to speaking publicly about non-heterosexuality, everyone should be allowed to do it. With the power to restrict speech in that sector in the wrong hands, we could become Canada, where you can't speak out against gay marriage or homosexuality publicly. 😬

But one thing I * do * think needs to change is sex ed in public schools. Way too much is being taught rn, in a way that encourages certain sexual behaviors over others. That should be up to both the students and parents to work out. If that means completely removing sex ed from schools, I'd be down with that. I mean, the internet is a thing. It's not like public school is the only place you can learn about sex (although it's certainly good for practice 😏).

I need some recommendations rn:

1. More tech/gaming/culture/normie accs to follow

2. An alternative to Drudge that's not trends.gab.com cuz Mom doesn't like that either (and I don't trust it)

So, over roughly the past 10 months or so, I went through a lot. I got wrapped up in a toxic relationship with a girl who was leading me on and my granddad died suddenly, and even worse, I began taking vague advice from people I didn't know very well, who at the time weren't all that mature (although they're showing a lot of growth now), which only made my situation worse.

Through all of this, I've been met with nothing but encouragement and support on the . This means a lot to me, especially the support I've gotten (and continue to get) from the real OGs here, who were with me before all the stuff went down.

Thankfully, things are going a lot better right now, although I still have some personal growth to work on. I must say, I don't think I'd be where I am today (mentally) without the support of you guys.

Thank you.

@snow@qoto.org I'm just asking cuz I'm Christian myself and remember having some good conversations with you in the past, even promoting you as a user to follow when you first joined IIRC

can anyone see what would be wrong with this request??????

pleroma log spits a whole load of bs that means literally nothing to me and nothing stands out saying"THIS IS THE PROBLEM"

I love how Andrew Torba tricked conservatives seeking to flee tech ecosystems to rush to join a tech ecosystem

@JackPosobiec I’ve never agreed more with you than on this statement. Not only are we not uniting but many are using it as a hope for others to die-like these gems twitter.com/jackposobiec/statu …

Does anyone still use the Dissenter Comment Extension since Torba killed it with Gab Trends? 🤔 💬 :gab: #gab #dissenter #speech #freespeech

@aefirestone It's fun! I doesn't feel quite like as far as user base (it's actually kinda empty tbh), but the software runs well, and I think it probably federates with more instances than ! Some instances and technologies block but that's predictable with a free speech instance.

@CSB IMHO gloves would be more useful than hand sanitizer. If you already have wipes you can rub your hands down with them, or if you wish go to the restroom and wash them there, but between wearing gloves (so you're not touching germ-infested surfaces) and a facemask (so you're not sucking in loads of particles) I should think you'd be fine.

@Coomer I only compared the two because had so many users compared to the at large (they had at least a million users at the time IIRC), so it has sort of a similar case of a (relatively) big social networking site just popping into the and flooding it with new users. The scale is certainly different but some reactions to it should provide at least some precident.
