I dunno if this is the right place for this, but I was curious. I joined Beehaw during the Great Reddit API migration, a few years ago at this point. I couldn’t put a finger on why but I wanted to join a queer-friendly space. It just seemed like a good place to be, somewhere that seemed to have goals of inclusivity and being kind to one another that I thought sounded good. I wanted to belong somewhere like this place seems to want to be.
Then, years later, in Nov of 2024 my egg absolutely shattered and I came out to myself as trans. Then I just realized this morning that the timeline is kinda funny to me. Thought I’d ask and see how common that pattern was.
Hahahah! I can understand the desire to avoid right wing spaces too. There’s something calming about knowing that the only thing you’re going to be judged on in a queer space is being a complete jerk and treating people poorly, or trolling and trying to ragebait (which counts as the former if you ask me…).
That’s super neat though, I hadn’t even considered VR queer spaces but that makes a ton of sense!
