25. I don't blame you

It's feeling like we are taking steps backwards of late... I've seen more than a few homophobic photoshopped Drumpf and Putin images lately that have been allowed to stand... And that is of course before we start dealing with the "Looking out for your rights is a losing strategy" and "Lia Thomas is Satan" crowd.

The jury system does not work, at least not when it comes to bigotry. Way too much stuff that discriminates against LGBTQ's has been allowed to stand - especially of late. And worse, as you said: Alert and it gets voted down 0-7? You can't alert for 24 hours. I get that they did that to prevent "alert abuse"... But what the hell are we supposed to do when the jury blows it?

Like you, I rarely get replies from the admins either. Occasionally, but, not often enough.

Something needs to change here, that's for sure.
