When I log in to Slug it feels like drinking out of a public toilet that hasn’t been flushed in a month. All misery, hate, and paranoia. No joy. No humor. No music. No art. Just piss. Stale, rancid political piss and choking brown reactionary stench.
I don’t doubt they feel the same logging in here. I wish I understood it better. I know they are my brothers and sisters. It’s hard work.
The info says they’re looking to attract more “progressives.”
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Ignore them, block them, don't go there.......it is the most hurtful thing you can do to them!
I mostly just listen. I don’t believe in blocking.
I had never heard of it, so I checked it out. The bad grammar and misspellings were the first things I saw. I don't think I'll be joining.
The media they listen to is all about hate, loathing, put down, fear mongering, etc. That we have effectively created this environment is most disturbing. It's happening around the world and not just in America.
I found it quite telling that a hug emoji doesn't even exist there. I mean, there's also not much application for it, but still, it seemed odd for that to be acknowledged at inception, as if the expectation of an option for compassionate response wouldn't be a thing there. I, too, find the negative emotions often overbearing there. Small doses. Baby steps. Probably a good idea to avoid until next year...
