If this takes off I will give mod access to the r/calgary mods I just intended to park the name so it wasn't stolen by someone who didn't intend to moderate it.

Hopefully this community goes in a much better direction. I hate that my social media is just an echo chamber of all the beliefs I already hold. I want my thoughts and beliefs to be challenged, I want to be able to discuss opposing viewpoints with people, and I want to hear everyone's sides. The best part about this being the anonymous internet is that if I don't like something, or I don't feel like engaging with something anymore, I can just stop. No one knows who I am. No one cares if I reply to a comment or not. I can block whoever or whatever I want.

I'm excited that Lemmy feels so fresh and that we can hopefully cultivate a community of civil discussion, even if we have opposing viewpoints.
