My first Mastodon post in a while, I thought I might try something more "real". The topic of deradicalization. Without getting into specifics, lots of people know someone who has gone off the rails, one way or another, and it's easy to feel like you want to drag them back to the real world. My worries: is this something I can even do? Does it have to be me? If I have second thoughts about safety, should I even bother? Is the person I knew just gone?
