This instance was stood up in the wake of a certain blue bird getting caught in a pocket of methane that escaped a sad hole. While this initially was meant to be an internal use project, it quickly filled the need that quite a few folks around us were looking for – A no nonsense, safe space with reasonably available moderation staff who values community over growth. Remember, we're no longer in the midst of the big blue bird. It's about connections, not clout chasing. Hope to see you out there!
