Stop supporting sexual deviants. There are only two sexes in your Profile section. Take out the so-called other choices. They are bullshit!

People could identify as an avocado and still be welcome to discuss their positions civilly. How is it different than having a religion different than yours (assuming you have one). Most religious people feel other religions are BS but still respect the person's right to believe it. Just an idea.

I'll check the code to see how the ungroup process is recorded. I think it's done silently to avoid retaliation by the author. We could send a message from the moderator to the author saying, "Your post [x] has been removed from the group [y]"... but history suggests that this then starts a chain reaction. Ideas?

Admin replies on May 20, 2019:
@EdNason Correct. The IDW groups are for posts that are specific to the IDW personality or on topics they often address. Since for new members who have not groups pick, we show the posts of all the IDW groups... and if someone posts the same thing in each IDW group, they show up multiple times. For non-IDW groups, we sometimes let a few posts get cross posted (typically if they're the moderator).

@paltmaie Ah, you're referring to the groups we setup for people who enjoy hearing the opinions of active IDW public figures, right? I agree that "Fan" might sound a little groupie-esque.

Admin replies on Apr 29, 2019:
It depends on what "neutral" means. If one had facts that suggest that the "neutral" position is not good for the future of the country, Dorsey needs to start with that. It seems that if we assume Dorsey is a smart person, we'd have to believe the motivation for his deplatforming actions is that he has some facts to suggest those who he's deplatforming are doing something bad for the future. I would be interested to know what facts suggest this.

@BooRadley not entirely... we got 100s of posts per day and had to decide on each if they were interesting enough to go on the main page, category pages, etc. This review process opens us to issues as well as tedious for a free website.

Simply having uniform profiles would be nice. Top of profile page has a box that allows visitors access to who is following you. Mine doesnt. It has fans which is visible only to me. All the other profiles I have visited have a box giving access to whom their followers. Yet someone I am ...
Admin replies on Apr 19, 2019:
There are two locations where people can click to view fans (who liked your content) and followers (who are following your new posts). We show Fans first, and then Followers at the top if there are no fans. If there are no fans or followers or if the member has set a toggle setting to not show these links, we don't put links at the top. I, and other members, see both Fans and Follower links on your profile

Tags can be comprised of multiple words but without spaces. Both of your tags works for me.

I try to live in my homeland Sweden, but it's getting more and more horrible for every year. My work is within the Swedish Lutheran Church (former "State Church"), which since the last decades has been totally overtaken by leftists/postmodernists/christianity haters/islam lovers.
Admin replies on Apr 19, 2019:
I've heard Sweden has some of the toughest anti-free-speech laws in western Europe. Is it true that the media is prohibited to list any stats based on ethnicity or religion?

Woo hoo! Intellectual Freedom embodied in an online community. I pray that this becomes insanely huge in it own right. Those who get deplatformed need a place to think through dangerous ideas and hash them out.

This is what is called "rewriting the narrative" remember.

That's not what I see on Google (tested it in 2 places). Memes can be dangerous if not true. What do you see when you do this search?
Admin replies on Apr 18, 2019:
@AZWoman Well, the IDW wants to focus on truth, right? We don't have time to fact check things posted here (yet). You can leave it up as it's your post and I've said my 2 cents :)

I have something you can do. Fix the comments so they take carriage returns. Paragraph function doesn't seem to work in comment-mode. Which makes every commenter look like some newb writer who can't use paragraphs. Doubleplus ungood. Edit: never mind. It looks like the paragraph collapse shows up...

Admin replies on Apr 16, 2019:
Oh man, I can understand how it feels to lose a post - especially if done on mobile! We're thinking of auto-saving posts as "draft" as you type (e.g., every 1 minute save). I'll try to bump that. As far as back button, we're thinking of having it on the lower left on every page but we fear it will hide text.

jondspen comments on Apr 15, 2019:
I commented before, but it just hit me, to accurately judge, how are you going to offset the skew that a few minority vocal people have on your numbers? You could have one REALLY active person posting and commenting, that is 10 times more active than most. With only a few of them plus the Pareto ...
Admin replies on Apr 15, 2019:
True, it's something to factor in the calculation. I don't fear algorithms so long as they are clear to members and have a goal that's not maximizing revenue but to improve the discussions.

Well, inside looking In, the "Intellectual" thing, is getting a BIT played out. Intellectualism is being confused many times with "Elitistism" insofar as participation goes. Want it 10,000 word comments or more? Make the site INVITE ONLY. LOVING my group tag is in there BTW.

Yeah, you're unique :) Invite only is an interesting idea... for the whole site or a group?

Maybe I’m not social media-aware enough; I don’t understand what’s being asked and how it will affect discussions. If there’s one thing I do know, it’s that I’m all for implementing any strategy that will discourage an echo chamber.
Admin replies on Apr 15, 2019:
Oh, I'm just trying to do something that I don't thinks been done before - grouping people with a goal of getting a mix of views. Facebook and Twitter, for example, select people and posts to show up in your feed that maximize their ad revenue (e.g., same views and avoid conflict). Yes, we're currently too small to consider clustering, but it's just an idea to research.

@Gerri4321 I grew up in a loving, religious family. I know that the majority of religious people are not imposing their thoughts on others. I am focusing more on how hard-line religious people are seen by those on the Left who are not religious.

Admin replies on Apr 14, 2019:
@chuckpo My thesis, and the one I want the IDW to consider more, is that the growing demographic divide between the Religious Right and the non-Religious Left (e.g., people under 30 are MUCH more non-religious than before) has to be bridged with a focus on shared values. Fundamental to good people, regardless of their views of the supernatural, is Humanism. Humanism, here defined as "being good to others" is one of the bedrocks of religion, that is, Religion = Humanism + Rules from the supernatural (codified by it's church/etc). There are MANY non-religious people who are sick of Identity Politics, being called "bad" for being white, etc who want to leave the Left but are afraid of the Religious Right (shall I say "Abortion Bans"?). Frankly, the Right, demonizes non-believers as "if they don't believe in a god, they'll believe in anything" idiots. We need a way to carve out the "good non-religious people" from the indoctrinated Left. AND, these good people will be critical in reaching out to the Far Left as they don't have the Pro-Life hammer. (Thanks for the vent).
