@kaydubatl@mastodon.world True. But sometimes you don’t want to have to leave. I grew up in the South and we know all about the exigencies of good folks who think the problem would be solved if you people just stay with your kind and don’t talk about race so much.

@Deglassco@mastodon.social Southerner here so definitely understand. I’m moreso saying I like the option of having somewhere else to go (for those that may want a break from or choose not to “fight the good fight”) versus having no safe space option at all. Same way we go out in the world - I do my part to try to impact and educate people’s viewpoints knowing some may NEVER change. At some point you want to go home or be in a space and just have a good time in peace. It’s possible here, I feel 🙂

@Deglassco@mastodon.social @kaydubatl@mastodon.world I wish I could like this a thousand times. This is also a future conference panel waiting to happen.

@Deglassco@mastodon.social @kaydubatl@mastodon.world Why does it have to be the harassed that have to seek a haven? This is a new WORLDWIDE space. Wouldn't it be a much better space if those that want to harass or be harassed are the ones that have to go find somewhere else to do it than on servers where everyone else manages to get along?
