Can I just say I love this place. Not because the platform is so great or anything obviously in beta it is extremely flawed. But because of people like you @stellabelle I love this place. There are a large number of others like you I could mention but I won't. I hope they will just know by the way I describe you that I am thanking them too.
- The good people I have met here have been respectful even of things that oppose the views they are most passionate about.
- They admit when they have made mistakes or disrespected somebody or reacted harshly.
- They make the effort to understand the point of view of even the deranged.
- They defend people who are being abused.
- They work hard to make this platform a welcoming place.
- They engage with their followers and try to help eachother to reach an audience.
Unfortunately there are also some trolls who will work to cause the opposite. But I am finding more beautiful people here like you @stellabelle than trolls. Perhaps that is only due to the reputation system... But I just wanted to thank you and the many people like you that are working to improve the place just by standing up for what is right.
