Hiya! I hope you're well! :sunflower: I do miss some of you lovely people, but I have moved on from this forum because on balance I didn't want to continue.

I'll be honest and say there was too much background toxicity from some that's tolerated, including a constant stream of hate speech from an entitled incel towards couples and children and I just don't want to be in a place where that sort of thing is put up with and other members are expected to put up with it or constantly report or put people on ignore.

And on the flip side of that, I was also increasingly finding it impossible to have adult, respectful conversations with others out in the open without being censored - such as when I talked about environmental issues (I'm a biologist, environmental scientist and educator) which some members will be aware of because I PMd copies of what was censored to them and they were scratching their heads too.
