With moderating posts and giving things to a jury, I find it’s helpful.

By limiting the forum to only those who join, then we would agree to stretch ourselves beyond our long held positions .
Thus, we agree to enter a space that may be uncomfortable, but we support one another.

I’m on BlueSky and Substack. So I do find the dialogue on those sites to be more expansive and inquisitive,

Thanks for your input, that’s why I posted. I want to hear opinions .
