I think safe spaces should be very visually different from discussion forums.

I agree with the title.

My problem with safe spaces on Reddit and to a less extent other web forums is a clear separation between them and discussion forums.

Reddit ( and other forums ) didn’t have a way to visually and otherwise separate them from other discussion forums.

They looked just like every other sub where everyone was free to give their polite opinion.

That or you are enjoying a sub, a new crowd shows up, new mods show up, and you begin getting attacked along with everyone else who wasn’t there for a safe space.

What is “maker space”? What is the CPP besides a C++ file? A Chinese agency?

I never heard of Naomi Wu before.

All of the sudden, articles like this one are all over the place showing a woman with red hair in provocative outfits claiming to be a tech activist being silenced.

Would anyone care to give me a two line summary of who she is and what her deal is?

Jack Smith seems like he knows what he is doing, but I hope that is enough time to get Trump convicted by Super Tuesday.

I joined Squabbles in June and liked it until the “free speech site” announcement.

I loved the lack of content ranking and downvoting so someone suggested Beehaw.

It seemed to me that the developer/admin jayclees was your basic tunnel visioned coder ignorant of news/current events. I got the feeling that he isn’t politically invested. He just wanted to be left alone to code, so he changed his rules taking away the justification for messaging him. Posting on the site really slowed down. It looks like he lost many of his active users and kept his lurkers. I guess he figures it is worth the price of being left alone and that he will eventually get regular active posters again.
