Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Yeah, it's horrible, though - to be a little bit optimistic - I think it can also be seen as a sign that the capital-G Gamers and misogynerds have noticed that they are outnumbered and have to make a shitshow like this in order to have any relevancy.
I can't be optimistic theses times...
For us its only bullsshit h24 all around us.
I really can't see good news 🙃
Sry...
TBH I understand you perfectly. There are too many bad news these days, but - for whatever it is worth - I attempt to see the good in the bad, even though I am not all that convinced myself most of the time.
I swear im not wired, or I didn't got my account of shit, I guess.
You are brave.
Love that,
Thank you for the kind words, but I don't think I am particularly brave. The main difference between you and me may be that I was around for GamerGate 1.0 and I recognize some of the differences between then and now. While GamerGate 2.0 is - without doubt - dangerous and terrifying, it is far less chaotic than 1.0 and that makes is somewhat easier for me to deal with it.
