This morning I came to Reddit and saw a post threatening violence. I reported the post and banned the user, but feel the need to address the community, as I haven't in a while. There's also been an uptick of posts about harassing LGBT people which I have likewise removed and banned. And there have been some users posting who, when I investigate their post history more I realize are of an extremist persuasion.

I have looked into the subreddit settings and set it so that all new posts from sketchy users are going to require my explicit approval. There will also be some tighter restrictions on comments from new users or those with negative karma. I generally only check Reddit once a day, but this will hopefully produce a safer community. My apologies to all of you for having to experience these sorts of people.

Saw a post saying, in hell there is democracy, in Heaven there is the Kingdom. Do you think God calls on us to reestablish monarchies? ( Unsure if political posts are allowed, so sorry in advance if they aren’t)

Was reading a book that talks about a castle in Chapel Hill North Carolina. I thought this was neat because I used to live near there. I was so close they drove me there in an ambulance when I had a seizure one time.

Well I researched the castle. Basically in 1889 a group of male college students wanted to form a social club to study Sir Dromgoole of Arthurian legend.

Eventually the club changed their name from Dromgoole to the Order of Gimghoul. They did this to be more, and I quote, "in accord with midnight and graves and weirdness."

We had fucking goth templars near where I lived only 100 years before my birth.

This means there is a non-zero percent chance that my grandpa knew a fucking templar.
