I lost my job the day I found out about the issues with third party apps for Reddit. I found Lemmy and Mastodon searching for alternatives. So far this community is a lot more wholesome and I'm enjoying being a part of it

We just started CoS because everyone wanted me to run it, and one player missed the first three sessions but would tell me the day before that he was definitely going to be there and then not answer any messages until the day before the next session. Since they were kicked we've had two late arrivals in six sessions, but everyone has shown up. It's like a DMs dream.
This video perfectly describes one of our current players and how they used to be though.
Religulous.
I grew up in a conservative christian household but when I was 18 I met a trans woman (neither she nor I knew it at the time) that asked me, when I was doing as conservatives do, "But what if you're wrong?" That was the first time in my life someone even suggested I question my beliefs and it was asked so kindly and earnestly it sent me down a rabbit hole of Christopher Hitchen's, Richard Dawkins, and too many others to count. Eventually I caught Religulous on Netflix and that was the first time I heard about TST.
TST and other freethinkers saved my life, I believe, because when I was full of hate I didn't hate anything as much as I hated myself. The Satanic Temple among other groups and individuals helped me to be accepting of others which helped me to stop hating myself.
This is a bit of a tangent at this point, so I'll just add hail Satan.
