@mayintoronto I can't remember exactly when I came here. Maybe three or four years ago when I was forced off Instagram by dogpiling bullies. About a year after leaving Facebook for being accused multiple times for "virtue signalling" while also reading far too many unmoderated news posts with death threats left to moulder in the comments section.

I still see horrible people posting horrible things here, but not nearly as many. I haven't been dogpiled. I haven't been threatened with death, although I've been told I deserve to starve to death.

I miss the internet from before social media. I wasn't made to fear for my life and livelihood back then.
