I don't hate y'all, but some of the posts here can be indigestable. Some posts simply assume everyone is on the same page with something - which is likely true, since you've been a community for a long time.
Maybe I'll come back and edit this with an example at some point.
- You're witnessing us after we've gone through countless internal debates and purges, some of which will always be legendary. We had a problem with transphobes at the start, they're all gone. We had a really bizarre fight for about a week over whether or not cats should be allowed outside.
  My favorite of ours was the weirdly intense debate over if it's ok to stack rocks next to or inside of a river.
  There was also BMF, one of the strangest people to ever live. My personal favorite was @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net, who was the most contradictory poster we had. You'd think LiberalSocialist was an elaborate Andy Kaufman level bit of someone pretending to be an annoying liberal, but I think it's always been unclear whether it was a gimmick or not.
  
  We can always bring back "are bidets bourgeois?"
  
  You do and you can bet your dirty, disgusting arsehole we're defederating too.
  
  Remember the "are washing machines bourgeois decadence" swiftly followed by the "are washing machines racist" struggle sessions?
  
  I love this site.
  
  the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet
  
  Washing machines aren't, but drying machines are.
  
  WASH YOUR DAMN ASS
  
  i missed the beginning of the 'batteries and water and eels' thing and i still don't understand what that was about
  
  It's always a good and fun activity to dispose of car batteries in the ocean.
  
  ofc cat should be allowed outside what the hell 🤔
  
  There are ecological problems. Killing birds and things. They've caused several species-extinctions in Australia iirc, where they are not native.
  
  ok, they are problem in Australia I give you that. but where they existed and lived with humans since forever?
  it's not like we have to adopt stupid Anglo internet paranoias just bcs some some aussie fucked up. fuck anglos anyway
  
  You can love cats being outside or you can love wildlife but you can't love both.
  
  Anyone who harbors and abets a KKKat while allowing it outside to engage in what can, by any reasonable standard, only be described as a campaign of stochastic terrorism against the indigenous bird population is a social chauvanist and any org that refuses to purge them is revisionist.
  Read Lenin.
  
  cats are the hungry purrrletariat
  
  I take it back, instead of Lenin, read Settlers: the Mythology of the Feline Proletariat
  
  Settlers: the Mythology of the Feline Proletariat
  ahaha reveals the author’s bias against working-class unity and plays into the hands of the ruling class
  
  edit: let's also remember that 👏 all 👏 dogs 👏 are 👏 fascists 👏
  
  Posting the man responsible for the massacre of countless innocent sparrows while defending outdoor cats is telling.
  Yet even then, as you can see, all of those cats are clearly indoor cats. Outdoor cats were too extreme even for Mao.
  
  he was feral enough against landlords, and what he really cared about was freedom
  
  But yeah jokes aside there are reasonable concerns but it got blown out of proportion so now we like to joke about it as an example of splitting over trivial disagreements. Strays have a bigger impact than domestic ones anyway so spaying/neutering is what's really important
  
  Kkkat has got me rolling
  
  😠
  
  On a harness or in an enclosed space that theybwon't escape, sure.
  
  Y’all mfs are missing a very important point in the outside cat debate:
  If you live up in the woods at the end of a dirt road you need a cat to keep the vermin out and a small mowed perimeter to keep critters from gettin in your crawlspaces.
  Or: it’s okay when I do it.
  
  More like a small meowed perimeter
  
  I hear 30-50 feral hogs will also do.
- God damn I would love to see your reaction to some of the classic BMF posts lol
  Death to America
