I don't get the slightest DEI vibe from this site, disregarding the wild attempts of some to shift the window of acceptable discourse. Is this some generic interpretation of the term that I perhaps don't recognize?

Hey Saarnok I didn't get that impression before either. But I am not a Tech Guru....so I let a lot of the incompetence, as it pertained to the functioning of the site... that was obvious... to slide. No updates....no private message function...things that could have been easily provided to the users here to avoid some of the arguments we are having. But if you read the post where Mr. Infinity, who sits on the DAO board, is openly fawning about DEI.... you might start to wonder if this DEI isn't something they are working towards.....right now. So far as I know....it has never been mentioned before. *Is this some generic interpretation of the term that I perhaps don't recognize?* Without presuming too much....yes....there are patterns to recognize. If you don't mind, I will use one example close to you. You took and take issue with people who lie in their posts. Good call. :) Huge post you wrote....calling out one of the sitting members....one of the biggest threads in Sojooo history. Well done old boy....well done. ;) I hear that. You make an objective call. They make a subjective answer....complete nonsense. I will switch this around and see if this sheds a bit of light They give you this statement. 2 +2 = 5 Then they ask? *How do you feel about that*? How do I feel? What do my feelings have to do with this? The answer is 4. 5 is wrong. It isn't debatable...unless we go down the Subjective Nonsense Slide. And on it goes...down into the subjective feelings hellhole....no learning...no intelligence....just one uneducated opinion is worth just as much as everyone else's....objectivity and intelligent thought....not required. But the main thing that has been rearing its ugly head...is Hate Speech. This is DEI 101 - listen to who brings this into most every conversation. It is beyond annoying, and it is relentless. You can't give constructive advice, or criticism, without being accused of HATE! The other very telling part...is when they openly dismiss your objective claim with subjective moral grandstanding. And that is everywhere when you read any of the posters who are part of the DAO council. *2 + 2 = 5* *And I would never tell someone they were wrong about such sensitive topics...how could you hate this much?* *I for one, am a good person, and you are not.* *I have spoken on the matter and there is nothing else to discuss.* You have a unique way with words, and I am not the only one who appreciates that. You calling that out....the cursing....was used....brilliantly. Again....thank you for that*.* And thank you for the feedback here, your insights are greatly appreciated. My apologies for the long post....but hope it helps. Peace.😇

I'll look on my own, but can you give the direct link to infinity praising dei? I'm primed to believe he's a big fan, but, that's no way to operate. I'm completely sure he's done LOTS of things to call out without bringing up something I've no evidence for.

Hey Saarnok, Yes...I will put the direct link just below. And here is the direct quote: Mr.Infinity wrote: *@DanGun : Your posts have taught me things, things I would never have thought to look in to, especially about DEI, fairness and equality. You made something from nothing but an idea, and a wonderful community became of it; friendships that will last years. When the world took away our voice, you gave us a voice once again.* Taken from this thread of 4 months ago. *https://soj.ooo/p/dailysojshot/post/bce1753a7166c4eccba19e8c22a9a385* Hope it helps. Peace.😇

Okay, he's praising something DanGun wrote about DEI. Guess I was being dense there. I'll look at DanGun's stuff. I'm sorry, but without reading just tons of DanGun I can't readily see what infinity is talking about. It's as easy for me to imagine he considered DanGun's arguments against DEI persuasive as anything else. Here's my hot take, my opinion for free and possibly even worth the price: DanGun did his best to create a digital game preserve of sorts which stopped being fun when he saw the animals who actually came to populate it. He's a busy guy with a lot to do who simply doesn't have time to pour into a project of what I perceive as largely ungrateful miscreants who seem to blame him for everything and credit him for nothing. To me it seems completely natural, according to how I see the soj.ooo environment, that he simply doesn't see the value in adding the features that according to how I understood soj.ooo, shouldn't exist to begin with, let alone the more complicated stuff. In short I don't see the signs of DEI which would show up in my opinion with the suppression of "wrongthink" of whatever sort.

Thank you Saarnok, You make some good points with solid support...you have a gift of rhetoric. Dangun is indeed.... not DEI. And, most everyone who has responded to this topic has concurred that they do not believe Dangun is DEI, and further, that no one person is in favor or supports the tenants of DEI. Good to see...good to hear. Again, thank you for helping to bring clarity, and closure to this topic. Peace.😇

Hello All, Thank you to everyone who contributed to this post. It was brief, it was impactful, and it comes with closure. Of the 8 users who responded to this topic.....not one person supported or supports DEI....none...no one. Dangun....has responded. Dangun is very anti-DEI. His words - "I'm very anti-DEI." This is at least a start in the Conflict Resolution process to help in reducing the stress levels being felt around here, lately. However, what we say, is not always....what we do. Now that we have all agreed that DEI is not a productive force for this site and its mission, we can be ever vigilant to protect ourselves and others when we see any one user, or team play or users, engaging in behavior that resembles the limiting of free speech and free expression. At this current time, we are waiting for @felbz to respond to his "Soj.ooo DAO Launch" thread. Any and all are welcome to join in this discussion as well. https://soj.ooo/p/sojooo/post/5e579fa116ed7435262965f7a5ddaacd We can continue discussing the formation of the DAO Board and the activities they are engaging in to promote the DAO and the voting mechanism that will enable this site to function in ways no other site has functioned before. Peace to all😇

Hello Corissa, Thank you again for your thoughtful reply. I agree with most everything your wrote. DEI does indeed, not agree with this Platform....and most others....all others....agree with you. There is much confusion on this site, but this is one topic we all agreed upon. No DEI. Again...thank you. Peace to you.😇

:) But like... what's even your source for this? Was it just infinity or whoever straight-up brown-nosing? That's pure cringe, I'm still trying to forget that mess and honestly feel lucky I don't scroll this site more lol Are there like actual white papers or whatever you can link showing the DEI vibes? I guess the interim board already screams DEI, but no shade to the Korean members or anything, like zero disrespect intended.

I would like to start here...about 4 months ago...when the decline became....obvious? https://soj.ooo/p/dailysojshot/post/bce1753a7166c4eccba19e8c22a9a385 Mrs\_Cms is/was one of the more beloved users on this site. Understood by some, and not so much others....all good. She started this thread in the attempts to pull us all together...to unite us. To say something nice about another poster....wonderful idea. And it worked. It is also the most popular thread in Sojooo history. One problem with this...is that Mrs\_Cms is no longer with us. She has quit...like many others. She had a very specific reason to quit, and any who are interested can look into that. It is not directly related to this post, but it does have indirect implications that many will have noticed over the past several months. However, what I would like to draw your attention to is this post here. This post is from a sitting member of the DAO board... Mr.Infinity wrote: *@DanGun : Your posts have taught me things, things I would never have thought to look in to, especially about DEI, fairness and equality. You made something from nothing but an idea, and a wonderful community became of it; friendships that will last years. When the world took away our voice, you gave us a voice once again.* So before we get too far down this path... @mrinfinity ... if this post was made in jest...the humor was lost in translation. Could you please explain to the rest of us what you meant by the above information? Are you also a champion of DEI? It reads as though you are, so if you could make this clear, it would be greatly appreciated. Others can read that statement and will draw their own conclusions, especially given the linguistic similarities and rhetorical patterning that the DAO members have been employing as of late....sounding much akin to DEI parlance. Looking forward to this conversation. Peace to all.😇

That cringe brown-nosing is over the top sycophant energy: "our posts have taught me things... you made something from nothing... when the world took away our voice, you gave us a voice once again." Maybe mrinfinity got his wires crossed between sucking up to corporate in real life and sucking up on a free-speech site, he couldn't risk going unnoticed:) Free speech ecosystem is the opposite of DEI initiatives/policies. I don't think Dangun deserves shade based on mrinfinity brown-nosing.

*Free speech ecosystem is the opposite of DEI initiatives/policies. I don't think Dangun deserves shade based on mrinfinity brown-nosing.* Yes....Exactly! DEI and Free Speech....are not compatible ecosystems. I couldn't make that point clearer. Does DanGun even know that this is going on in here? Is he even looking? Cause it is everywhere...yes? Let us all put this topic to rest....put it in its grave. Let DEI....die on this site. We need Conflict Resolution Skills....and DEI makes that impossible. I don't think anyone who has a goal to unite people and give them a free speech platform would want their name attached to anything DEI. And I am creating an opening here for DanGun...and the others....to let us know their position. That way...none of us has to guess. Something about transparency?😅 Peace.😇

*"My apologies for tagging you as well.* *I am tagging you to bring a matter to light that requires official recognition.* *You need not reply....not required....but openly and officially suggested.* *Otherwise, you can confirm you have read this....by bumping this."* **This is some really weird unhinged double speak.** Just say what you want to say. Tag or don't tag. This post makes no sense to me so I have no response other than this.
