social media, present company included

MN isn’t a democracy, with mob rule.
It’s subjective, with admin-mods retaining the right to settle matters according to their deeply-held beliefs.

This model requires a level of respect and submission that (i find) aligns with NT teachings.
i do not expect perfection in any direction, including in myself. . Also in line with NT teachings.

MN enjoys a lot of volunteered time+thought, some unknown expenses, yet does not charge for registering.

(like the spies from CAM ).

Wait…what did I miss?

Every time there is even a whisper of scandal in the Anabaptist community, our online user numbers explode. Some are innocent curiosities, others are people imbedded in CAM trying to stop the leaks.

I've never had Facebook. But my understanding is that site frequently has some sharp attacks and combative tone as well. Is that correct? If so, how does that sites general ambiance compare with this one?

I've never experienced this. But then, I don't go looking for trouble, either.

I left facebook over two years ago because I saw this happening within my own family members, along with "friends" of said family members.

I think the only trouble I had, both laughable, was I posted something early in the pandemic and a coworker saw it and ratted my out to HR claiming I was insensitive. I took care of that in a hurry and hasn't happened since.

I never participated but I got to watch some very cringey online arguments. One relative got very mixed up with BLM and was constantly trying to argue about it. And then a few more conservative relatives argued back. She told them that they were basically “trying to kill” her mixed race children, which was an absolutely absurd accusation.

I had two people that, while we are still "friends" on Facebook, I had to unfollow their content due to similar issues. IIRC, some folks dropped me entirely over the Covid drama.

That's okay.
