Can someone tell me what the hell happened to shiftblr ?
Has the level of toxicity here seriously reached something I’ve never seen before? I left Shiftok about a year ago (around April 2024) for Shiftblr, and honestly, I had a good time because the community here felt smarter and healthier.
I also took a months-long hiatus to focus on myself, my mental health, school, and so on.
But now? It feels like a cesspool of recycled talking points, with a near fanatic, almost cult-like obsession with the Law of Assumption (not that there’s anything wrong with believing in it).
It’s the same Manichan-style rhetoric about race and age changing. Meanwhile, people who express doubts, anger, disappointment, or sadness about their shifting journeys seem to be silenced and buried under waves of toxic positivity.
What happened? It wasn’t like this before. Sure, there was some toxicity, but nothing close to the levels on Shiftok. Did a bunch of Shiftok users move here because of the threat of that platform being banned?
Now I honestly don’t know if I should even try to make a proper comeback. Back then, my essays and articles sparked thoughtful and critical engagement. But now? Gods, I can’t imagine what would happen if I dropped the remastered versions of my most popular essays, especially the ones about age and race changing.
The original age-changing essay was 8 pages, and the remastered version is now 21. I don’t know how long the race-changing one will be, but I expect something similar.
At this point, though, I feel like there’s an even more pressing need to talk about spiritual hygiene and self-care in relation to shifting, because no one seems to be addressing it and that’s honestly concerning and even dangerous.
So, if anyone has information about what’s been happening on Shiftblr recent dramas, controversies, or anything else that can bring me up to date I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
