Non-member, I moved to Utah back in 95. I grew up as a UCLA fan (still a fan).

I can honestly say most former LDS folks I know aren't bitter at all.

If that’s true then the problem is social media. I see so much anti sentiment

You could be right. I don't use any social media, but not from any moral

Always advocated this. If you don't like the closed minded comments in SS, be there to provide a balance.
