As I said before this is an unsafe site for Indigenous people. I’m out. Don’t bother DMing me. I’m scrambling my password and locking myself out of my own account. I’ve grown to care for and trust a lot of you so it’s hard to leave but it is clear that this site isn’t for me. I understand that the world and internet at large is really shitty to vegans so I understand and support the need for a safe space to process your experiences and to practice your dunks. All the best, signing off.

This is a lot of the point of the discussion around eliminating c/main and moving to a more subreddit-style organizational paradigm. Right now, by default, everyone is going to see things they disagree with. While some level of engagement with ideas and discussions that don't reaffirm your existing beliefs is desirable, we're seeing a level that's alienating, uncomfortable, and even traumatic to parts of our community. I would rather address that and maybe isolate some topics to their own corners than keep a uniform (read: lowest common denominator) site culture that hemmorages many of its most prolific and interesting members.

Eliminating main won't resolve it while every single comm looks the same and can't be identified as being a different part of the site at a glance. People will behave the same way everywhere and expect the same behaviour everywhere as long as they feel like they're in the same place.
Psychologically people need to feel like they're in a different space.
