I'm guessing people aren't gone so much as afraid to say anything because what they can say without risking deletion is still clear as mud even after the clarifications.

I'm here but hardly posting at the moment. The new rules have totally confused me. Are we still allowed to say transwomen are men?

I'm a lurker. Rarely post as I don't want to sound thick . I think that twitters stance and now the mn bollocks is denying women free speech. What world do we live in when science and biology is over ruled by a bunch of Neanderthal pillocks who think we should be seen and not heard.

There are two registers running so I'll post on both!

Still here - and the dictionary definitions on yesterday's register are still there...

I am still extant!

I am posting a bit less but it's not the new guidelines - more, as you say, because there are too many threads for me to have time to keep up with. So I'm just contributing to the two or three that interest me most at any one time.

I know a lot of newbies have come out of lurking due to the new guidelines and I think that's great. But I think we could all do a better job of curating the topics into fewer threads. (This is one of two Friday present threads, for example!)

I feel that FWR threads seem a bit slower moving lately. I wonder if a lot of people have gone. Sad
That apparent slowness coupled with only quite recent threads being shown on ‘Threads i’m On’ (..i’m sure I used to be able to scroll back over many more threads I had posted on..?).

This combination nudges us towards making more numerous but shorter threads in FWR.

I appreciate FWR threads as resources (collections of links and arguments etc) as well as somewhere to talk, and refer back to them etc when I have time to read- so this combination seems unfortunate in terms of the FWR board’s ability to sustain and collate and develop a discussion over time. Hopefully i’m just imagining it.

I hope so.

This is the first time I a while I've not woken up to any goady threads started by the 'midnight mysogny' as one poster called them, brigade.

Wonder what they were all up to last night!?
