This Is The Dumpster Fire I Never Expected After Participating In NaNoWriMo Since 2008. Granted, I Never

This is the dumpster fire I never expected after participating in NaNoWriMo since 2008. Granted, I never participated in the forums until last November (what timing!) But I found a group then we migrated to discord right before the blow up.

In my mind, I always saw NaNoWriMo as a movement rather than an entity. Sure, this group of people may have the term trademarked, but the movement is more than that. Can we just continue to use it until the concept is just generic enough that it is a right to the public?

Either way, I will still write and I will still challenge myself and maybe I'll just track my word count right here or some other community site for fun and accountability.

As A Heads Up, @nanowrimo Have Begun Suppressing Comments On Their Latest Facebook Post That Are Unrelated

As a heads up, @nanowrimo have begun suppressing comments on their latest Facebook post that are unrelated to the post (because they still have not made a post regarding the latest Board announcement, the new municipal liason contract, the revisions to their ToS, etc). Mine specifically was tagged for "spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation", which is very interesting coming from a page that is refusing to publicly address any concerns and is instead hiding those concerns.

As of the time I'm posting this, all of the comments in the above screenshots are hidden. These were all on their most recent post, which they made on February 22.

Do you know what you want of social media? I am not so sure myself. I've met some cool people online when I was younger. Now that I'm older with not as much free time, do I expect the same? Not really, but I'm still here.

I needed this pep talk. I went to work too, to know who are the type of people I interact with.

Women who didn't vote because they aren't "political".

The non white males who were happy that the stock price went up.

The youngest voting age group that thought both were bad or listen to Rogan.

It was a tiny subset and there were a few who were just as disappointed as I was. But overall, a lot of it was the fact that people didn't understand the stakes. Didn't understand what they were looking at.

Honestly, we should make voting mandatory. I believe Australia has that rule. "Free country" my ass if you think it's freedom not to vote. Everybody has to deal with the aftermath of an election. I was dumb like that too once.
