Okay, fine, I might run for Prime Ximbo when elected as State Minister. What's holding people back is that this website is not very political. I mean, we're a fucking internet republic, at baseline we're political. A step in the more political direction would include controversial debate topics. You say you lean towards the right and value freedom of speech in an Elon Muskeque type way, then facilitate conversation/debates surrounding abortion, gay rights, trans rights, immigration, war, corporations. If insinuating the idea of freer speech doesn't scare you, then neither should implementing it.I agree with you = conversation and debate on Ximboland has been stifled. Who remember the Miss Bimbo of 2008 ? It was very interesting and full of debate.
I've noticed a lot of people come on here to "play a dress up game," + I despise that notion. Take yourself to Everskies or Stardoll or IMVU. You're part of an internet republic, don't take it for granted just because it's yassified and colored pink.
Do you really think the dumpster fire that is xitter is something to be emulated... Most ppl here are left leaning, but don't really want to engage in the political aspects of the game, and it is unlikely that the userbase will diversify and increase in terms of political opinion and zeal, so all this political shoehorning would likely just amount to the creation of an 'undemocratic' echo chamber anyways. It might even end up turning into a toxic purity spiral and drive users away (this is what happened with everskies community).Yes I do. Freedom of speech is worth defending at all costs. What is liberty without the freedom to speak our minds? Elon Musk is a hero for defending freedom of speech and creating a place that facilitates freedom of speech safe from the over moderation that exists everywhere else on the internet. We must be careful lest we lose our freedom of speech under the guise of 'hate speech'
I just wanna say (and I’m quite scared to admit this) but I would say I lean more towards the right then left. However, that DOES NOT mean I hate LGBTQ, wish death upon anyone who is different, think everything should be “back like it was” etc etc. That is an extreme right view and I just need to say that not every right leaning playing thinks that way. We do exist on the site, we are just quiet about our political views, because we don’t want to cause arguments. Or at least that’s how it is for me. Also please take into account that this site is based in Europe, Miss Bimbo being from the UK. The UK right side is FAR less extreme than the US right side. I’d also like to note that quite frankly I don’t give a fuck about politics because at the end of the day every government is ran by corrupt people forcing their own narrative, which sounds similar to what you yourself are trying to do now. The reason why I’ve never ran for PB is because the current PB is doing a great job already, why try to oppose that? I’d rather just wait until her terms have finished, which is what I’m planning to do. We have a lovely community here that people don’t want to disrupt the flow of, there’s nothing wrong with that. We have a working democracy here, just because we aren’t fighting doesn’t mean we don’t have freedom of speech. I’d also like to add that I, as an SM, have a job to do. I put work into this site. You don’t pay me for that. In fact, I pay YOU for that. I’ve never heard of a real country doing that. Do the developers and admins of the site have to pay you as well? No. Because they’re recognised as employees. We should also be valued. Then maybe we’d be more interested in running the site for you. At the end of day, if FP, shop designers, PB, and SM, all the volunteers of this site got removed, who would you be left with? Do you still think you would have players? It’s not about being “the wrong kind of selfish”. It’s about paying rent and not being exploitedIts sad that you are afraid to admit you are right leaning. Thats a sad endorsement of Ximboland - clearly no one represents you which is wrong.
Chris can you please give some examples of the kinds of things you think are being censored here? The main focus on the forums is primarily on fashion and the various aspects of gameplay. I am failing to see where all these viewpoints are meant to fit in because they're really not integral to the actual gameplay. As a user, I'm more interested in stuff like improved mobile functionality rather than whether I'm free or not to drop a bunch of slurs. I really don't understand how any of this interfaces with the actual gameplay.This is not to do with gameplay. We are as much a community as we are a game. This is everything to do with the community and how to manage it - keeping it healthy but keeping the place interesting, invigorating, intelligent and fun
