Welcome! It's a bit rough around the edges here but the devs are making changes every day and the community is better than I thought.
Indeed it is. All I really want is a place where I can intellectually engage with people in good faith, even when people disagree with me; finding it productive, fun and maybe learning a thing or two. Constantly being called a "bigot," "fascist," "asshole," "idiot," "moron," really leaves it wanting.
This you?
Indeed.
Try having openly right-wing leanings, and maybe you'll understand it. I don't go around making presumptions about people. But when the person I'm replying to chooses to lead with condescension and sanctimony, then fine. I'll oblige him and reply in kind. Incidentally, 'it gets the point across'.
Honestly the rough parts remind me of the good old days of the internet. I'm no gatekeeper but I'm happy when sites are smaller, focused, and slow to grow.
Exactly! For the first 5 seconds, I was pissed that I couldn't send a reply with Ctrl+Enter, but it just reminded me of the good old days of being part of and building a community from scratch and I love it!
