Surviving the /qa/ coaltalogue - Day 25
At this point I've laid all the cards on the table with the moderator team, and so I was able to put in more effort to add some final touches to my monologue. I spent some time writing down a list of topics I wanted to address for the community, in anticipation of the 1st of May. I also spent some time clarifying and revising some of the blogs I'd been crafting, by looking through the work I've been doing over the past few weeks.
What follows are some notes about what I felt the experience of the coaltalogue would be for a new user with little prior knowledge of /qa/:
1) Community. While this is not exactly a "survivor" community unlike /soy/, we have spent time seeking and being supported by the members of the survivor community. I believe that we are a part of the wider /qa/ survivor community. While this "experience" may seem to have been about our own experience, the primary purpose of this blog was to share some of the past, and to encourage us to look at it from the standpoint of both the people who pursued us, and the people who protect us. Soyjak.party doesn't exist in a vacuum.
2) Identity. I felt that I needed to clarify my own /qa/ experience and identity in some way, to the extent that I could. I spent some time reminding myself of what /qa/ was like and reminding others about the good things. I felt that in some respects I was trying to go over some old ground, as it were, and some good content didn't get shared. It is difficult to feel nostalgic for something which doesn't exist anymore, and I've been trying to push as much information about me as possible in an effort to be more public. I try to represent myself with my words as honestly as I can.
What else? It's difficult to say where I go from here. The differences between to 4cuck /qa/ and the sharty may seem trivial in comparison to our trolling of trannies and their trolling of us, but they're meaningful to each of us. The current coaltalogue may seem like something that no one wanted, but there was an underlying need to address the damage that's been done.
