@TheBossRoss It seems forward to 'like' an introduction. But thanks! This is a great improvement on the anonymity, brevity and hence polarisation of the 'other place'!

@chadatom I find you can (must?) make every place your own. On Twitter, I learned what's important to me on social media: respect & decency. Then I learned you can make that happen. I ruthlessly blocked every divisive & disrespectful account - that's not debate. I didn't amplify strong language, you can make your point without. Ultimately, it created a safe space for all. So for me, it never was a toxic place. It was a place of friends. And I hope I can find a space to continue this elsewhere.
