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?

@RickiTarr I can completely relate to this. I, too, grew up in an ultra-Orthodox household, and did everything I was constantly told not to, which led to me being labelled as the 'freak-in-the-family'. It's really nice to finally be in a space with so many awesome people with shared/similar experiences. 😊
@betwixt_5scen Good to meet a fellow survivor.
