I'm not sure if it's okay to post this, so please let me know if it isn't...
When I returned to RPR, I found a goodbye note from a user whose name I won't mention, even though their account has since been deleted. We weren't particularly close, but we did have a meaningful chat back when I was more active. In their final message, they shared that they and a few of their friends no longer felt welcome here due to bullying cause of their learning disabilities. I don't know the full details of what happened, but it's disheartening to hear that anyone—especially kids—might be bullied here for something like that. RPR is a safe space for me, and while I understand that the world isn't perfect (there will always be bullies out there), it's still sad to think that there may be others here who have experienced similar forms of mistreatment...
So, I sincerely hope everyone here is doing well and taking care of themselves. Remember to love yourselves.
Sending hugs to anyone who needs it. 💖

Oh gosh, really? I never met anyone like that here, but I can see that. Sadly, no matter where you go on the Internet, horrible people may be hiding. I'm on RPR for a while, and only saw one/two toxic ragebaiters, which were taken care of quickly.
Just a note that if anyone experiences this kind of stuff here, the moderators are very helpful and supportive with that. Sadly, many people are afraid to report bullying offline and online, since abusers on social media often try to push a victim blaming mindset.
