It’s me. I am calling myself out.

      It’s probably very much failing according to the corporate metrics of infinite growth. Good!

        Good thing there’s no profit motive to self hosting for Linux users, leftists, and queer people! (I know that’s a ven diagram that’s basically a circle :3)

    Hey! We do good work with our popularity <3

    Good work?

    A ton of similar communities on sites like reddit aren’t so supportive. Like many mentally ill communities, they feed off of their worst instincts instead of their best. That may be rewarding, but it also convinces people that they can continue being horrible to themselves.

    I’m really proud of everyone here for not wallowing in our self hatred. I want us to be open about our struggles and insecurities, but I also hope we can offer a helping hand to each other as well. We can’t be perfect, but we can try our best to be good.

    I can’t and won’t force people to “get help,” because I know it doesn’t work like that. The only person who can save oneself is oneself. Our life is our responsibility, not just because that’s how it should be, but because that’s how it truly works. We can only get what we give at most, so I want to make sure people get a fair exchange while they’re here.
