It would be cool if we had a self-improvement comm.
As leftists, we understand that a lot of individual problems are caused by systemic issues. However, I think that there is still a lot that can be done on the individual level to improve your life.
Most online self-improvement spaces have a reactionary slant and are dominated by the same type of guy, which is another great reason to have a self-improvement comm on this website.
EDIT: our awesome admins created the new comm and our awesome comrade @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net stepped up to moderate it, please check it out and start posting: https://hexbear.net/c/self_improvement
Are there any improovers here? What would you like to improve in 2024? Would you like to have a comm where we can hang out?
I'd be up for this if we can mix together things in a way that makes it unlike any other.
Reading, artistic improvement, personal improvement, physical improvement, emotional improvement, spiritual improvement, interpersonal improvement, all rolled up into one.
Spaces like this are usually super exclusionary, cis white straight, the "improvement" is usually only in one direction such as something like getting physically stronger when in reality some people might want a more femboy body or a more womanly body or a more androgynous body and the methods for achieving all of those things are completely different. An environment where everyone is comfortable asking about all of these things would be a good one.
Yeah, allow any self improvement posts that aren't deeply problematic. Make it a common space for learning. We're all united in wanting to be our best selves.
I agree with everything you said, let's do that
