You do not want to see the cesspool that is moderated comments on 2xc. Spam and hateful comments fall pretty fast anyway, but that doesn't mean that it should stay there. What would you prefer - a youtube page with all comments and som

I'm a default (twoxchromosomes) mod. I would love to see better moderation tools. Most of the shitty content I've had to deal with are from newer/multiple accounts, as well as the older accounts that are sick of the trolls. O

I have a lot of trust in USPS too, but ... I feel like USPS is a temporary or secondary measure until Amazon ramps up their own delivery service in big cities. Part of the appeal of DIY delivery is same day/next day and Sunday service,

It's frustrating. You get a LOT of fat shaming, you get discouraged at a slow pace, you don't see the firsthand/obvious benefits for a long time. I've lost ~30lbs since February, which is around one pound a _week_. I sti

Might I add my "effort" to this conversation - I've lost almost 30lbs this year. I know a couple people that have also lost a similar amount of weight with me. We all _look_ like we do the same things - eat less, eat better,
