    On the bright side, it can create a sort of backwards marketing push where people who are morbidly curious come here and then don’t see any of that and are opened up to hearing our side of the story

      You might just find your own posts on there.

          My point being that this is just an example of what our representation looks like on the greater lemmysphere. The way these posts are taken uncritically as evidenced by the upvote counts and lack of challenge shows that this is more or less the standard opinion.
