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

    The impression I got from the discord was that it was pretty harshly judgmental and cool kids only. Maybe I just didn't get a complete picture

      Same feeling, I felt like there was no way for new people to participate without getting jumped on for conversational faux pas, not immediately adhering to unspoken cliquish behavior or just outright getting ignored. So much better to have our own sub back.

        Alright cool. I thought be about to get ripped up (there's still time). Wondering in retrospect if the discord skewed really young? It was kind of like going to a busy hipster bar. This is definitely more my speed. How awkward was it to post and just see that in the meantime everyone was like, who's the freak that's been typing forever?
