I mentioned this earlier, but I'll post it again:

I do not ask for much, tbh. I just want an inbox free of creeps, not to have to fight people on basic human rights, to be respected as a person first, and to have the ability to easily block and report people who are terrible.

From the need of basic moderation tools we went on no wasp (I litteraly didn’t know what it means) or terf. It went from 0 to 100 pretty quickly

These people are some examples of people who need to be moderated.

A TERF (trans-exclusionry radical feminist) is a transphobic person.

A WASP (white affluent schooled person) is a specific flavor of white person that is classist and bigoted. Worst of all, they often don't even realize it.

I have had ... unfortunate dealings with both groups. Moreso the second one than the first because I am not trans.

WASP used to mean White Anglo Saxon Protestant.
All these new terms can be confusing at best.
Keep in mind you will get hate,racism and bigotry from all strata of society don't single out white people.
I'm white ( not my fault) and dated a black friend for a few years and I got more hate and bigotry from his extended family and his friends.
So much so he broke up with me because I was white.
How does that butter your biscuit?
If people are mean and nasty to you just block them.
Lord knows I have had my share of haters on here over the 12 to 13 years I have been here.
People who come from an affluent up bringing aren't bad just because of that.
Same goes for people that had a poor upbringing.
Hate and bigotry are a learned thing usually comes from their parents.

As far as the chat area every time I look in there its 20 somethings that are discussing video games, smoking weed and begging for feeders.
I guess if those are your interests then enjoy.


I'm sorry that happened to you. I just want people not to threaten to kill me or rape me/my family becuase I am a WOC.

I don't want to derail the thread because this is about what makes a space SAFE for the people mentioned in the title. Munchies didn't single out white people, she mentioned a specific type of white person. If it doesn't apply to you then you don't need to worry about it.

If you understand that hate and bigotry are taught, then perhaps it would be wise to think about what hate and bigotry *you* were taught also and how that carries out in these conversations.

But let's get back to the topic at hand. And if you don't want to participate that's totally cool and best of luck!

Just like anyone, and so you need moderation, not to ban/restrict access preventively to people because we assume that they belong to a certain group of person. The group of persons you’ve mention are most likely not the one that would threaten you because you are a woman/black
