Our little instance is closing to 6 months of operations and it occurs to me I never really asked for some open feedback from our peeps. So I wanted to start a discussion to see your concerns and comments in general. So tell me, in the context of the divisions by zero, what bothers you, what pleases you, what would you like to see improved.

Feel free to share your thoughts about anything.

Gotta second this, especially the local area stuff. Helps to get to know people around you and make a better connection with where you live.

A lot of people I know that struggle with depression or similar feelings (myself included) had/have a lot of it stem from not feeling that they liked where they were at on a number of levels, including “literally” as in the physical location they lived. The best thing that helped me with “the physical location I lived” was getting involved with local events.

That also helps with finding things to do where you can see direct positive impact of your actions, which is a huge thing that helps me personally. It’s why videogames appeal to so many people lately, the immediate and obvious payoff. Stuff like working at a local food pantry, soup kitchen, community garden, volunteer work helping physically disabled people with home projects like painting, etc… those all scratch that same itch of immediate payoff for me at least.
