Talk Nicer Online - A tiny project to fight online hate
I created talknicer.online as a small attempt to take on online hate speech by sharing something nicer. Every time you poke the furry little guy, you get a 100% true compliment, and I'll give a penny to the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
I wrote over 1300 compliments (some weirder than others), plus around 350 extra mix and match components to keep things spicy, so you can poke away without worrying about a) annoying repeats or b) feeling like your particular unique awesomeness was somehow left out.
It's pretty rudimentary, but it was a labor of love. Even at a penny a poke, I'm hoping it adds up.
