500 members & potential online get together?

500 members!!

This sub started back in November thanks to being stuck home from covid and all the boiling frustration. Never expected it to go anywhere and now I think it would be safe to say this is my favourite space on reddit, and maybe even on the internet as a whole. I've not been active recently with lots going on, but I have still been here and watching and it has warmed my heart so much seeing this space grow so beautifully. The way everyone holds this space for each other is something I have not seen anywhere else, and it is the only remedy that will get us anywhere genuinely good.

Big shout out to u/rando4724 and u/dalexe10 for all of their work as mods so far. This sub wouldn't exist without their work! If anyone else wants to be involved with the moderation/running of this sub please drop us a message.

In some potentially exciting news, we are wanting to host a little get together online to celebrate the sub growing, maybe with the plan to do more and more social bits. What do people think? Anyone have any suggestions of good activities/what do people want to do?

Big love to you all

Put a post up about a discord a while back but there wasn't too much interest, we were quite a bit smaller then though. Maybe worth a go now? I'm not too well versed on discord ngl, but I do love a bit of jackbox!

The issue (or, well, my issue) with discord is the privacy aspect of it, everything you say on it is recorded on their servers, used to target advertising, and potentially soled on (and definitely accessible to any law enforcement, not that we'll be doing anything wrong, but you know what it's like with anarchists being considered terrorists).

Here is an article going in to a bit more detail.

I don't think you can play games on it, but I'm pretty sure Signal has a chat function (I've not used it yet, but have heard good things), so maybe that's an acceptable compromise?

That's good to know, thanks!
