Dear Mods…

As it should be. Who wants some heavily moderated site that only approved talking points are allowed? We have a really short list of "rules" and other than that pretty much anything flies. 

Too many people view any view opposed to their own as "trolling". Like really? People are so fragile that encountering a differing opinion automatically means the person isn't serious? What a terribly warped and narcissistic worldview.

Ok Elon.

The message board itself is slowly dying. I'm not surprised if some mods have vacated completely. Zod rarely stops by and I'm sure will one day just let it go and pull the plug. Message boards as a whole do not seem to be big as they once were I guess because of Instagram and tiktoks now. It's just a matter of time before this address is typed in and nothing comes up so just enjoy it while it's there.

I agree that the opposing view should be ok. What I see too much of is a small number of people trying to jump in and “destroy” threads that they oppose. We get it that their opinion is different and that the opposing view is somehow a huge trigger. But they can’t stand a discussion they don’t agree with. So by not moderating, they take over and destroy every thread, making most people not engage, hence we miss out on a potentially good discussion.

However, that is essentially impossible to moderate, so I don’t blame the mods in this case. It’s not like being a mod is a full time paid position. Mods are volunteers.

I don’t have a solution, outside of people being less angry and growing up, I just wanted to share my perspective.

There's this really cool feature available where you can block individual posters and you won't see their posts if you find their content harmful to the fragility of your psyche. I mean, you can literally moderate the site for yourself! It's incredible!

I encourage anyone who thinks there are trolls to utilize this wonderful feature for themselves and cultivate their own personalized version of the Huddle instead of just bitching and moaning for the mods to please save them from harmful differing opinions.

I can't block individuals I don't like because I have too much fun bickering with them back and forth with mom jokes like we are both 14 all over again

the board is largely for older types that want to bicker with the same people instead of bickering with new different accounts on social media.   

is it the wild west?  I mean, compared to the social media sites like reddit, twitter, etc???

Social media is a sewer that rots your brain.

Eh, I'm mostly here for the few that are worth engaging with and to be amused by the same hot takes I've seen so many times already.
