- [beehaw] I want to explain why I think the moderation system and the way in which Beehaw operates is better than many of the other social media platforms out there.
Moderation and enforcement of rules is very much a core part of the Beehaw experience.
I appreciate you wanting to raise awareness about your beliefs, but I am not interested in debating them in public. I am very happy to discuss the topic in private with you if you'd like, but my personal policy is to keep political discussions from appearing in my public posts. I don't like to mix politics and pop culture, and I don't think it's appropriate to have political discussions in an environment where people are expected to be able to have fun and relax. If you disagree with this policy, I invite you to take it up with the administrators of this website.
We hope you enjoy your stay at Beehaw. We've tried hard to build a place where everyone has the ability to engage with each other in ways that feel comfortable to them without having to worry about toxic individuals.
- [Lemmygrad] Socialists should be in solidarity with Bernie Sanders.
I'm seeing a lot of people on this sub being extremely critical of Bernie Sanders, and I'm wondering if they're really being critical.
When I was in high school (I've only been out of it for a few years), I had an acquaintance who was a socialist who was extremely critical of Bernie Sanders. I was genuinely perplexed, as I had never met a socialist who was critical of Bernie Sanders.
I went to high school in a college town, and Bernie Sanders was basically the only public figure that was socialist in this town. Even when we had a couple of Republican politicians on the school board, they were always very critical of Bernie Sanders.
This is what I mean by critical of Bernie Sanders. I think Sanders' campaign is going to have a huge effect on American politics. Many socialists are going to be supporting Sanders, and I worry that some people here are going to be critical of Bernie Sanders because of it.
