  • No. I think the whole community has only had three deleted posts, two of which were spam. But I could have tried to encourage what members we have more by taking some initiative and sharing memes, starting discussions, things like that. I’ve seen other mods who helped grow their community in that way, but it’s not what I’m built for at the best of times.

    I do thank you for the words of encouragement, though.




  • You joke, but I’ve seen those kinds of arguments, especially online.

    Some time back, someone argued that global warming was a self-solving problem because the oceans reflect light and heat energy back out into space, so as the earth warms and the oceans rise, the ability to reflect that heat will increase and we could even go back into an ice age because of it.

    That is, of course, not really how it’s going to go. Massive ecological collapse and possible human extinction would occur due to the initial warming, first off, even before you get to the arguments about… Everything else at the crux of that.

    For a long time, one of the talking points of climate change denial wasn’t that it wasn’t happening but that it was normal for us to go through heating and cooling cycles, so just deal with it and wait it out, we survived the last ice age so we can survive this heat wave, right? But again, that’s mostly bullshit.







  • While I do agree that it can sometimes be difficult to know one’s self, I didn’t figure out I was bisexual until I was almost 30, I’m not likely to put anything like this into the sidebar. That opinion may change as this community grows, and I’ll listen to what members of this community want, but right now I don’t think so.

    Also, sadly, since that article is from a premium site that limits the number of articles one can view, it would not be my first choice. I don’t want someone looking for guidance to suddenly hit a paywall. But I will keep in mind the idea of a pinned post or something similar for links to helpful resources.

    Thank you for the suggestion!
