We are still fighting to get the truth out. Reconciliation will unfortunately take generations because the problems caused by these schools and other issues reverberate through the generations. But i hope there is an accelerated push to get

Yeah. Phpbb was a huge deal in the early 2000s. Then reddit came along with subreddits and Facebook groups took over. All stuff now happens under the curated moderation of the corporation that owns whatever hobby/interest.

I'm on linked-in for obvious reasons but i largely ignore the posts. I don't get how so many people are political on a site largely concerning itself with employment. Other than that, reddit was the last piece of social media that
