I suppose we all have to be honest with ourselves and or approach, I can't stand the idea of being fake so it is easier for me not to keep some communications than to put up a fake front. Ideally I would prefer if the site was busy, then I could just post what I really enjoy or what I find important. I just don't like the idea of this project failing. Going back in my mind... I do find there can be some weird dynamics for adults that never seen each other etc. I remember seraphima's post about white men being pedos and I while I don't remember much about it now I thought it wasn't the brightest thread or moment, but it was already going when I saw it and I expected others to make some sense. But I wonder how I would have reacted if I knew the OP was a dude etc... I don't remember much about it now as it didn't make sense to me. Hope seraphima is doing well, there was one thing I feel guilty of not pointing out but I assumed being an adult she could see things for herself.

"Ideally I would prefer if the site was busy, then I could just post what I really enjoy or what I find important. I just don't like the idea of this project failing." Why would it being busy matter? I told you why it's not busy. Why is it so important to you that it succeed? Sera's heart [broke](https://soj.ooo/p/grammar/post/dd99c098e2dbf645c479eac970dae259/comment/84595). Maybe she'll be back.

I like the concept of free speech platform and while we still have it we should take advantage of. Maybe the situation is similar with people in real life, we don't appreciate them enough till they are gone. It is important to appreciate things while they exist:) I don't necessarily want to see Sera back as much as I would like to believe she is doing good. This place easily might not have been particularly useful for her but in theory it should have been harmless. I assumed, that as an adult growing up with internet, she would be insulated enough from certain negative aspects.

Eating bugs is not really a big deal, especially in small amount unwittingly; you were being a drama queen.  I used to eat them all the time when I was a kid, like all other kids. Cheap source of protein/minerals. It's an acquired taste, kinda like blue cheese. In fact, it kinda tastes like blue cheese/summer sausage/salami. I am sure this would be banned in the west. Their ignorance/loss.
