I've gotten to meet a few people from here irl and they were all awesome, I'd love to meet more of our comrades and I expect there's a number of us who feel that way. Not would it be cool to hang out but as much as we wish it were posting isn't praxis however meeting offline makes it much easier to actually accomplish something. My thought was either a sticky thread or new com. People who are down to meet can post their nearest major city and then handle everything else through DMs, that should keep the doxing to a minimum. Anyone else interested in the idea or am I just being dumb?
I messaged someone a year ago after he implied he was a college student in my state. We exchanged instagrams and he turned out to be over 40 at a community college (which is cool, I assumed he'd be my age but was still happy to have a hexbear for an insta mutual)
Then he started flirting with me, although when I told him I wasn't interested in that he stopped. But then he asked if we could meet up, and for me to "prove I'm actually 19 and not a minor" because "it's hard to tell with people around your age" or something. Told him pretty definitively that I didn't want to meet up, and blocked him after he was like "you sure? Just looking for a communist friend, and I have free beer"
jeeesus, did you let the mods know?
Nahh but they stopped using this site later anyways. Not a major user of this site in the first place
Hearing a story like that, makes me wonder if we're not bullying hard enough. Sorry you had to deal with that.
