Crom's religious trauma (christianity) 

let me tell you: when someone comes here posting religious stuff like that and i gently ask them to leave, you don't get to be correct when you tell people publicly that this space is unsafe for mentally ill people. sorry

Crom's religious trauma (christianity) 

i talked to my friends, especially the one who got involved. everyone refused to talk to him to get him to apologize. nobody said a word when it happened in the study.

i lost all my friends

Crom's religious trauma (christianity) 

here's what i mean by my religious trauma:

I got involved with a bible study/church in college early on

they became my primary group of friends i spent all my time with

one session, the leader suddenly turned on me and drilled into my favorite passages from the bible and berated every little aspect of it. he made it clear to me that he was *the leader* and was right

also, some folks don't like the use of the CW system for jokes

I think it's okay, personally, as long as it's obvious that it's a buildup to a joke

new folks:

please remember to make heavy use of CWs

they are there because they are useful to reduce harm for folks

instead of being forced to read a post in order to determine if they want to interact with its contents or not (which is not a choice), you can know what the post is about and choose whether it's worth engaging that or not

gentle reminder: compassion is a meme on mastodon

for awoo.space in particular, we are pretty lax about what gets posted, as long as it's behind a cw somehow

most of us here are trying to be genuine and real and not simply some internet persona extension of ourselves

for me,this is the space i run to be me, my whole self, it's more than just posting memes. sorry if that doesn't gel with your expectations of what this place is

Transphobia description, a warning 

Genetic determinism of gender is transphobic.

Do not use this as an excuse to misgender someone! That's not ok and makes for an easy decision to suspend from my perspective.

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.

While mature content is allowed here, we strongly believe in being able to choose to engage with content on your own terms, so please make sure to put mature and potentially sensitive content behind the CW feature with enough description that people know what it's about.

Before signing up, please read our community guidelines. While it's a very broad swath of topics it covers, please do your best! We believe that as long as you're putting forth genuine effort to limit harm you might cause – even if you haven't read the document – you'll be okay!
