It's a tricky prospect, trying to balance hate speech and distinguishing it from someone simply expressing bad thoughts.

I guess I'm someone who came with a lot of poor, preconceived notions, and it took some time, patience, and radicalizing to arrive where I am today.

I've had some pretty awful takes over the years and said insensitive things, but it's other comrades who turned me on to better ideas.

    To be honest i was banned on the discord for a really dumb fucking reason. It was really disenfranchising and undeserved and it was honestly a bit upsetting because the discord was a small bit of light in a pretty hard time in my life. i really enjoyed some people i interacted with on there.

    i am glad this place doesnt seem ban crazy. give people time to move left and if they're just constantly stirring up shit and nothing else then yeah reconsider. but let people down the pipeline even if they have bad habits and bad thoughts that die hard

        I messaged you a couple weeks ago but never heard back - maybe you'll see this - Does chapo need more development help? I'm a software dev and not working and it would be fun to contribute
