It's always telling when people describe a minority as a "political movement" rather than... people

honestly reading this, it just sounds to me like he isn't cut out for community management. It is stressful and hard sometimes, so I get it, but he's going to kill his own site doing this. I did wonder about this before - it seemed like to me he regularly made changes based on feedback on a whim, and these changes were often rushed without much thinking. Needs to know when to pass the baton elsewhere and stick to development, but alas...

The last comments also speak to someone who's probably hiding some contrarian views of his own.

Shame.

As a wise bartender once said, "If you allow one Nazi, you no longer have a bar. You have a Nazi bar."

LGBT people: "We have a right to exist."

'Free speech absolutists': "Ugh, take your political bullshit someplace else."

No idea how people think this is a valid way to talk about people literally fighting for their right to simply be present in public spaces without people attacking their very being.

If true: Well, that's the end of that platform I guess. Shame, I liked that there were so many alternatives cropping up.
