Moving here has made me think of why I joined the bird site 14(!!) years ago- community, conversation, the best of live posted conferences and tweetups. Now we know how a space like this can be misused, can we also reclaim it for the best of whatโ€™s possible? (also no brands and ads?)

1) The term โ€œJudeo-Christianโ€ first appeared in the 19th century, in the context of trying to convert Jews to Christianity.

4) the Crusaders mass-murdered Jews. 1/x
