I grew up in a very Conservative Fundamentalist Household. I remember my Dad giving these Apocalyptic style warnings about what would happen if Liberals, Queers, and Feminists were allowed to run things. Now I spend a lot of time in a space run by Liberals, Queers, and Feminists and I have to say, It's pretty freaking nice here.

That being said, no place is a Utopia, people are people. The cost of keeping safe spaces safe is vigilance.

I could make a list here, and tell you my opinion about what makes this place, a good place, but I would like to hear from all of you. What do you love about Fedi? What do we need to do to keep it a nice place? What could we do better? What do you think the future holds for the Fediverse?

I love that this place gives me all of the info and interaction I could crave while also making me feel like I'm the conservative and stodgy one (which for the record I am emphatically not).

@chizeck I will say I've definitely learned so many new things, and that I still have much more to learn.

Being surrounded by paleontologists and astrophysicists and trans furry software devs and shitposters is how life should be.
