Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

At the same time! It has never been easier or cheaper to launch your own forum.

So if you have a small community and are willing to do the upfront work to move folks to a new place, and the daily work to keep them there, might as well try. Just be aware that the web of 2006 is not the web of today.

3) Your little secret forum will get flooded with 15394 spam and scam bots the second you launch. Moderation tools cannot sufficiently deal.

4) You have to comply with laws around privacy, data retention, minors online, accessibility, that did not exist or were not enforced in the 2000s.

2) We've forgotten how to meaningfully engage and drive conversation. Reply well, ask questions, keep threads going. Not just hit like, maybe reblog, post something and walk away.

You need a threshold of daily activity to keep people around and hitting that threshold is HARD.

I ran forums back in the day and tried to spin one up a few years back. Here's what I learned:

1) People don't want to go to different places for their different hobbies. Social media is popular because it's all in one place. Getting people to consistently go to ANY new place is very hard.

Based on going to the website, I think this is a joke, but still what the hell.

Quick drawing of Cassia, my problematic OP waifu

Tried to go for a John Blanche-ish thing here with the limited color palette and sketchy lines.
