1 of 2 - I have something to say, and I know it's likely to piss some folks off. But I feel I gotta say it.
Some folks seem to think that https://counter.social is a 'safe space' - and it is - from a TECHNICAL standpoint. Safe from bots, hackers, mis and disinformation, web archivers and scrapers, foreign influence operations and other nefarious cyber shenanigans.
However, and this is where it's gonna get gnarly....

^^^ 2 of 2 - I can't make it 'safe' with respect to the sensibilities and expectations of everyone who proudly states 'mental illness' (or other special or protected status) in their bio, especially while they proceed to 'thought police' the rest of the community here.
You're on social media, and just like the real world, none of them are your paid therapists.
Everyone gets an equal chance to *not* be an asshole here. Please don't squander it. 🙏
I'm NOT trying to alienate anyone here.
@th3j35t3r Yep! G'Mornin!
I compare this space, which I'm sure I've called "safe" a few times, to a safe & secure house with a fantastic alarm system. You did that!
Just because we come into this technically safe home, doesn't mean everyone inside will always get along as roommates, just that we have titanium walls surrounding us keeping our communications private from the outside.
Folks inside can choose to either help keep it clean & drama free or, bicker/complain/trash it & be evicted.
