every time i try to join a community for something innocuous like a hobby hardware platform for example it turns out to be far too okay with white supremacists and i have to leave and this is how i have no friends online outside the single space i moderate myself that nobody wants to join
@mavica_again Ah, yeah. That's a problem that plagues most online servers nowadays. I was going to ask an invite, but since it's private, nevermind. I still wanna keep trying to talk to people on IRC, but it's a pain without a proper bouncer which i need to stop putting off and set up.
As for the forums, I'm still at a point in my life where I'm questioning my gender, so I don't want to intrude, if that makes any sense.
@caz it's not private, by semi-private i mean just i prefer to share invites on a case-by-case because i don't want randos i don't know to join. i know you and i'm happy to invite you if https://netizen.club aligns with you
@caz and, no it doesn't really make any sense because the forums is open to anyone who isn't a transphobe regardless of gender
@caz (this is explicited in the faq since 2018)
@mavica_again Awesome! Thanks for keeping it open like that!
@caz i have a semi-private discord somewhat aimed at tech (it's the netizen club discord) that i keep encouraging people to bring their friends into and nobody does so we're just a dozen or so idlers that almost never speak 🙃 but yes also the forums don't usually get new people either
