Just went over to FB to check out Agnostic over there. Not an administration post since 2018.
Crash & burn. Was a great ride & got me thru Covid. Had lots of fun & some great arguments. Proudly was banned once. I have experience with being banned., so.....
I do facebook to stay in touch with family on the east coast. I have a small circle of friends so I managed to avoid most issues people have with facebook.
It was where I found Agnostic. It was very helpful through COVID and I will miss it if it goes totally teats up.
This site got me through the aftermath of my breakup from my old boyfriend. I realized I had more in common to talk about with strangers than him!
Having this site as an outlet and discussion exchange was good while it lasted, but I find that I check in here far less frequently than when I first discovered it. I like the format of it. I liked the fact that everyone here were strangers - so that I could talk about things here that I can't with my facebook friends or real life acquaintances.
Well - I think I learned a few things and came to the conclusion that there are many people out there with similar world view and mindset as me. That's a good thing!
I joined late in 2017 and pretty quickly got to the free t-shirt and pen level. lol It was great finding like minded people and many of the religious memes had me hearing my Dad's laughter in my head. He was an atheist and would have really enjoyed the site and discussions. He actually studied the Bible and was interested in the different versions.
I really wish it was being maintained. Have you looked into Tribel or Bluesky? I've joined both.
Yeah it doesn’t look good for this place. Got me through the pandemic too!
I will be fine it it goes away, since I got on reddit a few months ago, and have found a few good forums on there, that still discuss dating, unlike this site, which went dead on those groups and forums a long time ago. I also have a couple subreddits that discuss local and state politics, and that often opens up discussions of national politics too.
@TomMcGiverin There’s a few of us on Tribel.com under the Agnostics Refugees group. Also Bluesky looks ok. Hemant Mehta is posting his stuff there.
@Scott321 I thought I recognized your apple on Tribel. I still can't find the Agnostics Refugees group. I followed you, Glenn a bunch of others.
If this site goes completely dark I will miss it. I'm in a really MAGA area of WA State and there are a few who saw through the con but we can't talk politics in the club house - even if it's just 2 friends chatting.
I'm really the only openly atheist person, there was a really wonderful fun woman who was Catholic but enjoyed a good religious discussion. She was great fun at board games too. But she moved to Philly to help raise her grandson. anyhow hoo
@silverotter11
I’m now posting rando thoughts on my new Bluesky:

That will more or less match postings to Tribel.
