Some months back I got tired of the pervasive vulgarity and hate on social media like Facebook. It's ridiculous that people seem to assume that you're obligated to be vile on the internet. I was bored at work and put together a humble board based around the idea that it's okay to disagree but not to be vile about it. A handful of people have joined so now we're trying to keep it alive instead of going the way of seemingly the vast majority of boards that are either long dead or on life support.
As a side note, I presume the name "Fluffy Peeps" might need some explanation. "Peeps" is people. I wanted "Fluffy People" but was denied, I believe because it said it wasn't available. "Fluffy" is harder to explain. I'm a father and my kids are the center of my world. "Fluffy" is something they started associating affectionately with me, and has since evolved into a positive term for things that are wonderful and special to us. My avatar is a beloved plush toy they adore that has gone with my daughter everywhere for years. So, the idea of "Fluffy Peeps" is that it's a community for wonderful people.
We don't really care about what we discuss as long as we're respectful, civil, and keep the language safe for everyone.
