    I’ve seen a house flying both the Pride and Confederate flags. They’re not mutually exclusive, just strange to see next to eachother

      I think we might have to contend with the fact that a lot of bigots got rightfully booted from centralised platforms and have found their way here, and now a lot of really rabid ones are here hijacking comment sections and turning them extremely toxic.

            Same. I didn’t deal with bigots, extremists, racists, or trolls. I’m too old and tired for that shit.

            If they lose their voice they’ll create a new account. If they lose it often enough they’ll go elsewhere.

              Neverblocker here. I gotchu, whether it be by report, polite disagreement, sarcastic meme, whatever.

              One day I’ll have to pass the torch. Hope the kids are ready when that day comes. ;)

            Unfortunately ban evasion is easier than ever.

            I’m no saint, but I’ve argued on what I believe is right for years. I never had anyone on Reddit follow me to other threads, fuck with me in other subs, report me everywhere I go to where I’m chatting with mods who know I’m fine. That happens often here.
