Are you the progenitor of the opossum saga?

The opossum saga lives on in my camera roll, and it is spread far and wide.

Thank you for the new word!

Please tell me this isn’t a real product.

There’s still good stuff out there. You just have to dig deeper, take risks, and you have to make the conscious decision to give it an active listen from front to back.

That’s a little to belittling, imo. I want to enable other people to explore different possibilities, but I don’t want to put them down for their beliefs.

Even if someone’s beliefs are harmful, confrontation and belittlement will just make them double down, methinks.

When the topic comes up, I keep it short and sweet: “to me, religion is just crowd control”.

Thank you for bringing humor to an otherwise bleak post!

This cuts too deep

It’s an interesting quandary.

There is an inherently higher quality to posts and comments in smaller communities. It’s something many people value.

People flock to the high-quality offerings, and as a result, the quality decreases.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds, whilst still maintaining A “free speech” ethos?

Typically, enforcing quality standards requires heavy and overbearing moderation that makes the interactions feel artificial.

^ if you can crack that code, you’d be sitting on a goldmine.
