Deaf Darwinism

Deaf Darwinism is a threat to our existence on social media nowadays, the Internet been taking in Deaf refugees after the collapses of Deaf schools, Deaf churches and Deaf clubs. It's our hope that our Deaf cavalry of vloggers and bloggers will kept us together as survivors while protecting our Deaf Culture from audism and the persecution now happening within our dwindling community, surviving dramas after dramas that causes a brain drain when Deaf are boarding up, closing their accounts and leaving town. Our Deaf cyber-graveyards are full of screen-names we once adored. In the beginning there were great rapport among us, learning and sharing a wealth of information, lots of respects from each others, discussion on a even playing field where we all benefited from the exchange of information. Our creator, a Deaf liberal political commentator, gradually over time, allows his cronies to take over, losing his reputation, becoming more biased, abandoning site neutrality, politicized the cyberspace,  allowing the invasion of despicable to dominate with their propaganda trying to convert us into their point of views. The exile Deaf are in search of a safe site to practice their freedom of speech without fear of persecution, being ridiculed, and banishment. Deaf Darwinism is not a theory, it's happening here in front of your own computer screen, and that's one thing they can't block nor hide from reality.
Deaf Anthology, in conclusion, is in support of a strong Deaf social media site where each of us can express our viewpoints with due respect for each other, where we embraced diversity  acceptance of who we are without conditions, as we all got one thing in common, our language,ASL, and Deaf Culture.
At this moment, we are stuck in the Deaf Swamp, awaiting the return of our vloggers and bloggers, upgrade our standards, and the realization that our creator needs to step in and reverse the downward trend into oblivion.
