I may have been a little... overzealous when I wrote my beehaw application but I echo this point when I submitted

My last comment on reddit was 6 years ago. I was afraid of what it and the internet at large was becoming. Afraid to be a human online because the trolls and the dox and the swats. The mission statements in the side bar, the long and insightful posts that hope to bridge new people to the culture of beehaw that speak of being nice and compassionate, of working together to build a community of varied interests and peoples let me dare to dream that there exists a place where I can be a human on the internet again.

It's going to take a lot of deconditioning to not be a lurker!

That's quite philosophical really. Beautiful text.
