I used to revive old subs on reddit but they didn't get much traction and mostly ended up just arguing with anti-climate people and it sucked and made me unhappy so I stopped. I want to help spaces like this and invite others to, but not at the expense of exposure to harm.
I also thought it was your instance because you are so active, and, at that point I’m really enjoying the content you are posting. If you end up creating your own instance dedicated to science, with moderation for the anti-science harmful stuff I will follow you there! Just let me know
I wish I had the money and time right now to do so! :) Trying to limit my projects otherwise I overload myself. I'll continue posting because my brain loves filing things for whatever reason, but I will protect myself if I need to.
That’s fair, it’s the same reason I’m not making an instance also: time and money (we’ll mainly time). If you end up moving and trying to rebuild it somewhere just let me know!
Yes, that sounds really demoralizing. :( I don't know how you did it.
I didn't. I stopped. I'm saying this as a warning because this place has potential and it would be a shame to stop it's momentum. People won't put up with it.
I'll keep going, here, by the way as I have time (a bit ill today) but if I get the ick again I'll need to bounce as I've been making my brain a priority. I still mod those Reddit subs and they just get spam these days.
