45. I left a gardening group when I found out about the leader

Tue Feb 2, 2021, 01:51 AM

Feb 2021

He was gonna leave FB for MeWe..so I checked out his FB page...holy cow...

I immediately left the group...

I had been a member for 2 years

This was when FB was just beginning to crack down on fake news early this fall and when Ted Cruz was starting his section 230 (or whatever you call it) diatribes.

The gardening world tends to be conservative. Even organic gardeners. I'm a master gardener and I keep my politics to myself around the other master gardeners etc!
