I'm sure a lot of us didn't use it much because it was overwhelming and difficult to follow sometimes, but I know that lots of people loved it, and I'm one of them.

Just feeling reflective and thinking about what lessons can be learned from the whole experience, what we can use going forwards for the betterment of our community, and what we think are things we want to build towards.

I'm so utterly proud of this community, many wonderful things happened on the discord and in the weeks after the sub was banned, so many people came together and worked hard for the betterment of their comrades, we've witnessed a glimpse of the power of our solidarity with one another, and I can't wait to see how far we can go.

I love you all, and you know I mean it <3

    God I love the discord. It was overwhelming, a ceaseless attention-grab, and I truly love it. I found a part of myself there; it turned me, for the first time in my 10+ years as an internet lurker, into a poster. And now... here I am .

    I'm really loving chapo.chat though, already. The slower pace allows for a lot more depth and nuance. But also, I feel that the autorefresh system makes for more back-and-forth engagements in threads, which is really nice too.

    What I'm getting at is that I love this community, and all the ways we've found to come together :heart-sickle:

      It really does feel like we're home now, whatever that actually means :)

      Same here, I think I posted maybe one or two comments back in the subreddit, but Discord turned me a bit too. Certainly helps that the emotes make shitposting way easier and more fun, glad those have been brought over

        Yeah. Pretty much same for me, too. I'm not much of a poster, but I had a lot of fun silly/shitposting in the 10s thread.
