That makes no sense. You think it’s okay to deny service based on race?

I think beehaw is the only major group that actually defederated us, but that was before the drama

I will drug and booze myself happy. Just because it’s never worked before doesn’t mean it won’t work this time

Agree and disagree. They put the cart before the horse on this one for sure. If we solve the problem of unaffordable education, then we can talk about forgiving the student loans of people who didn’t get to benefit from the new system

Just forgiving the student loans of a seemingly random block of people makes no sense. The next generation and more importly the universities will expect us to do the same thing later. Guess what that means?

Schools will raise their prices even more and kids will take on even more debt. We can’t just slap a bandaid on this and pat ourselves on the back

I’d bet my left nut reddit will survive for quite a while yet, probably do even better over time

The kind of people who end up here just aren’t the target demographic for them anymore

Please god, let us skip the rage comics this time

You guys don’t really think that, right?

4chan is a great example of what places that consider free speech an indelible right will turn into

People who have the most vile and hostile opinions will flock there and push most of the reasonable people out

Talking to a band of brainwashed idiots who hide their hate behind a thin veneer pseudointellectualism gets old pretty fast and, as /pol/ likes to point out, those opinions color their view of reality and will seep into discussions of seemingly unrelated topics

Most of us don’t want to have to deconstruct some non-sensical ideology every time we make a statement. They think this means their opinions are some hidden truth that we can’t handle.

The reality is that we can prove them wrong, but they can’t or won’t accept it so we give up on them and go where there are more reasonable people to interact with

It was due to their (our) open admission policy.

They wanted a more curated experience, and were concerned that our instances would be full of trolls and bots

It’s not so much hiding as glazing over. The fact that anyone would argue that the civil war was about ‘states rights’ should tell you how poorly we recall our history

I’ll never forget reading a textbook in high-school that acknowledged the genocide of the Native Americans before quickly moving on to talk about how stately and wise the people who killed them were
