A very small number (mostly @chris) of lovely people do the moderation on this forum as a service to the community for no compensation. We’d love some help coming up with appropriate rules and codes of conduct from anyone who can spare the time.

Am thinking we have real problems building bridges across world views and keeping them standing… without these bridges as #XR says in the streets we are living on fading time in the era of #climatechoas and #dotcons social control. Who is building and maintaining bridges here? ![](https://community.coops.tech/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9e12c8fabb711a3ea59a3f2b71ef8734d9e5e410.png)

On the wider subject of this thread, Identity politics and the agender it pushes.

In the face of growing #climatechoas and our attention being trapped inside the #dotcons I see most people as complete fantasists and see the worship of the #deathcult as their main motivation.

In the next 5-10 years I see a lot of BLOCKING and lots of blowing of smoke to cover this behaver.

I live on a lifeboat, it’s not a metaphor.

The start of this post is the BLOCKING and the smoke blowing am talking about in this thread.

The end is “feel good/bad”, which is just the chatting classes talking to the chattering classes.

There are people who are not a part of the chattering classes who have agendas as you say in the end.

Diversity is a good (ecological) thing, and the chattering classes as you say are VERY bad at noticing their active role in our social poverty on this one.
