Just chiming in to say that while I can understand some people’s frustration, I support this.
The community here is great and I’d like it to stay that way.
In real life, I choose to associate with good people and avoid areas where the quality of people who can show is completely unpredictable or not my taste.
i prefer a chill bar with quiet outside seating and no live music. I go there specifically because I’m not looking for a biker bar experience.
I see it as a strength to the fediverse. It’s no different than different forums back in the day. I do understand that my above statement would be akin to different communities, but I agree that even if someone’s behavior is only “bad” in a community where that was acceptable, it does affect the community as a whole, knowing that they’re lurking (in terms of feeling like this is a safe space).
Keep up the good work, and thank you for having to make these difficult decisions; I know it’s not easy.
My week has been one of growth.
Over the past couple of months, my wife and I have been having lots of drama because she’s polyamorous, but I’m innately monogamous (at least thus far).
She has a boyfriend now and it’s been a struggle, but I’ve finally accepted/realized that there’s no actual threat of her leaving (which was the core source of my anxiety and jealousy).
So we’re doing awesome now! We still have sex, snuggle, and generally carry on as normal, just that she also has someone who is satisfying that need to experience new relationships.
So overall, my week is going great
