    Wish we had a space for letting out steam about this situation, instead of having to attract this kind of attention everywhere we go.

    I don’t think there’s a way to make the community private to just members, but it could be set to local only. That might help but I’m not sure how much it would change, I think it’d still show up on the local feed on slrpnk.net. I just see it there, so I’m not sure how other people from other instances find it.

    That said, from recent conversations I get the impression that at least some members want this to reach lots of people and scold/shame them, so this community might not be a good candidate for a dedicated ‘letting off steam’ spot. I do hope you’re able to find one.

      For me it’s more about finding community, me being Israeli kinda means I’m alone, in thinking the way i do. This makes for a creeping feeling of going insane, like I’m just “seeing things” and should keep to myself, this isn’t healthy, these kinds of posts, even when meaning to scold and agitate, make me feel like there’s someone to talk to. Too bad they’re busy arguing tho lol

        I think I can see that. It’s a deeply surreal feeling, when it seems like your whole society sincerely believes something you think is obviously wrong.
