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 have heard so many times that if we pay workers what they are worth, do something meaningful about climate change or help each other when times are hard, such as in the face of a sudden medical problem, then the communists would come.

I keep thinking, these communists sound like they have some nice ideas, couldn’t we… college experiment with some hugs to welcome them?

@DavidNielsen Oh my God lol as a kid people had me terrified at just the words Communism and Socialism.
