The internet can be a cold, mean place. Social media has become a haven for cyberbullying and political hate spewing. Web media outlets are abandoning their own comment sections for the good of their own writers’ mental health and to avoid the proliferation of hate speech and misinformation.
At Pride of Detroit, we... pride ourselves on being able to keep a fairly civic community and comment section. Detroit Lions fans have had it hard enough. There is no reason for cannibalization here. We are forever bonded by the decades of strife we’ve already lived through.
But every year around this time, we purposely tear at the fabric of our own peace.
