    And I'm 100% for recruiting people based on their differing opinions. Diversity of ideology is the most important thing for me! I want to hear what other women think, or what a minority man believes - but I want them to be knowledgeable on the topic. But when it comes to an anonymous forum, unless someone specifies their sex or orientation no one knows. I'm wanting intellectual diversity, not diversity purely based on outward appearance that I will never know unless told. I'm definitely all for more unique perspectives though!

    Personally, I don't care if the voice is male or female as long as they have something worth saying. What matters is the quality. I think we should be cautious when deciding to listen to someone purely based on their race, sex, etc. Obviously it's vital when making major decisions to have large amounts of diversity, but if I'm asking a question about books or recent news, I want who is most informed - no matter who that may be.

    I would really, really prefer not to have this happen. A big draw to Tildes for me was to get away from the echo chamber communities on Reddit like TwoX (btw, I am a woman). If it were to happen organically over several years, I mean whatever, but to actively recruit puts a bad taste in my mouth. It's extremely pandering. If we do that then Tildes will be as bad of an echo chamber as some subreddits have become. Let's not start that kind of bs before Tildes goes public.

    I don't like sand... But I can understand that. I love snow but where we are apparently gets little to none. I have a ton of Filipino ex-pat friends here in Japan who are teachers!

    I will definitely give that a try. I'll often work all the way up to bedtime but I know it's healthier to stop earlier and it's more fun!

    I hope that you are able to find people or places that you feel you can connect with eventually. Maybe a club or new hobbie? I'm glad there are positives to where you are!

    When I was younger I was an avid reader, reading often 30 books or more a year. Since leaving university though, I have found it more difficult to sit down and read. I still have the desire to, but I always end up sidetracked. Any tips on how to get back into reading?

    My husband and I moved to Japan from America in March due to a job opportunity. There are several things that we've noticed that we miss, mostly food items! I was curious if 1) there are other ex-pats on the site and 2) what do you miss the most? Also, what is the best thing about your new home?
