Hello Belle. Thanks for sharing the link to this post.
I also resonate with what you wrote because I've also been kicked out of some online groups for not abiding with the dogmas of the NB herd.
Quite ironic that they call themselves "inclusive" and "diverse" when they only accept people that have the same ideologies and views as them. Nevertheless, it's good that you took the step forward to do your own thing and find like-minded folks in the process.
Not sure if this is the proper place for discussion, I'll do what's necessary if it's not.
I agree with you almost entirely, I just need to question what it means to find like-minded folks. That's exactly what the "NB herd" is trying to do if I'm not mistaken. Is it bad when they do it because of who they do it to, how they do it, or another reason? Pardon my use of bad, I'm sure there's a better word for this situation but the only ones I could think of or find were synonyms that still didn't sound accurate.
I love this! Because yeah, we all want groups where we feel safe. However, if like minded means "thinks exactly the same in all aspects" then that might be a huge issue. If like minded means "agree to disagree when necessary" then that's not as dangerous.
Hi This is Ankur. I turned 32 today. I am looking for friends, who are also cancelled like me. Well I am more in the process of being cancelled, and losing friends rapidly.

Keep at it!

Thank you so much! Yeah, those that preach about love and inclusion the most tend to be the ones that show it the least.
