A question I hope it’s not too sensitive, but I’m just curious… and want to know, I know we lost dBot and phase recently :(
who else?
oh ok ty. There’s another user that I haven’t seen for a couple of days and for some stupid reason now I can’t remember their handle, our writer from South America? @Beanc
@Armchaircouch MLClark?
AFAIK no issues
oh! yes. Ty. @Beanc
@Armchaircouch They're still here but it's been a few days since they last posted. Not common but ML is pretty busy a lot of the time. @Beanc
@Armchaircouch do you know why they left?
I cannot speak for them, but perhaps some thing about being upset over user comments against Jews, or content here, I think, @singlemaltgirl
@Armchaircouch ah gotcha.
well, w/ regards to phase, i know they urged calm & tolerance when 2 black women were basically run off here b/c they talked about how certain convos couldn't be had. it may be better than twitter & fb but it's still filled w/ white folks who are pretty white centric in lots of ways. the convos weren't open to black lived experiences. they left when given shit about their criticisms.
then users & the owner went a little full on stupid & i left for awhile, too. 🤷🏾♀️
@singlemaltgirl @Armchaircouch I still miss them ☹️ that was a sad time.
Glad you’re back tho.
@Beanc thx. i did get a warm welcome which i wasn't expecting. that was nice. still not sure i'm staying. or maybe it's just good to take a long break now & again.
i'm sorry those 2 women aren't here. i often liked what they had to say & i learned a lot from their convos. 🤔
@singlemaltgirl @Armchaircouch agree.
And… in general, SM breaks aren’t a bad thing. Though we would miss you as well.
Agree.
I missed a lot of that, but I saw the aftermath. :/ @Beanc fwiw I’m glad you’re back too, @singlemaltgirl
@Armchaircouch AnneW left when Phase left, too.
There might have been a couple more, too.
@Armchaircouch those are the only recent ones I’m aware of
