@solidsanek like I barely care about critic reviews anymore.
At this point, critic review feel like bootleg versions of real reviews
@design_RG Which is disappointing but what can one do? Esp. if they never post once?
At least they have somewhere to go if they get banned from another instance or something.
@realcaseyrollins Oh, Geez, and that's after we deleted a bunch of spam accounts earlier this week.
About 50 created in maybe 10 minutes or so. Bot action from NJ, US.
We passed 5,000 maybe two weeks ago, almost 6,000 now. Sadly many of those never post much.

I never understand people who outright hate others for having different views. It's pretty petty, like West Side Story levels of pettiness.
@realcaseyrollins @DissidentKitty@radical.town The Grinch Came this morning... 😜
Gee I started following a bunch of #msm bots last night and now there's hilarity in my feed 🤣
@design_RG Wow! I had no idea we were so big!

@design_RG @DissidentKitty@radical.town Merry Christmas to you too, radical.town.
I guess.
I just came across a post by someone who spouses De-Federation of QOTO.org -- and has simply posted a snapshot of one of our pages, without a word, to support their case.
I stumbled upon a reply in that thread by sheer accident, in the Home feeds.
If anyone is interested, it is here : https://radical.town/@DissidentKitty/103360603294150583
The post is Pinned at the top of DissidentKitty's user profile.
A number of users are posting supporting her views, a few disagree.
@DissidentKitty@radical.town is the author of the request.

Matthew 22:37-39 is my mantra:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
But Phillipians 4:4 is my favorite verse of all time:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Headspace indicators (inspired by @pizza):
🔵 = I'm in a good headspace
⚪ = Not doing great, but still ok
🔴 = Terrible headspace, feel free to ask me how I'm doing but no accusations or political or societal discussions pls or I'll rant lol
