Gaia was my home, community, place of creative writing, artistic expression, silly banter, and in-depth discussion.
It was my safe place in a violent storm of home life. I made the first real friends from all around the world, we would talk for days and nights. Spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars to support the site. From the humble beginning of letters in the mail to the current pledges and plea drives. And I did this at my detriment as poverty has been living only in later adulthood have I moved into the lowest of the middle class.

I hold centrist views, the left and right extremists which the site has become is too much and because I refused to be word policed in pursuit of discussion. People are becoming afraid to speak anywhere on the site unless they are lgbtq+ or any other popular sjw activist buzz word today.

They abuse the TOS's poor language, in such that it can easily be abused by for example. You don't like what a user said, it doesn't have to be directed at you or anyone, could be hypothetical thoughts or devils advocate or just a different opinion. BAM they mass report you for trolling or intentionally flaming.

That's right, your genuine opinion not even directed at anyone and in no way violent. A neutral opinion can be considered trolling and flaming.

But it's ok for 30+ threads from ED, GD, CB, SF, GCD, NF. All saying "$#*! whitey" "$#*! Cissy or cishet" "support the riots" "pronouns or gtfo" etc. Will be there everyday, supported.

So don't bother thinking you have roots there.
Don't spend any real money because you do not own any right to the exchange and can lose it to a hack or scam or ban anytime.
Moving items to another new account is considered ban evading and will lose you that account as well.
I had 3 completely separate accounts, 2 never said a word on them. Banned and deleted over the course of a day. They are investigating and tracing IPs. I even used a vpn.
Yet known pedophiles are protected and users face bans for investigating suspected users.

It's become a very dirty scammy $#*!ty place. No one gives a $#*! about you, especially the site and staff.
