What if this place was just a platform for talking to people? What if we didn't compete for social space? What if there was actually respect for the ideas of others regardless of their social standing?

@Abbynormative I'd love for that to be true...I think https://freehold.earth/users/KatamariChaos/updates/126 had it right...but I think some people are too good at seeing every disagreement or demographic difference as a threat for this to be easy.
It's not impossible, just hard. I get disheartened when folks start ranting about how everyone not like them is a Nazi or other-epithet-of-choice.
