Most Internet forums exist to tear things (and people) down. But they offer nothing as an alternative. It's a race to the bottom, and when they get there, they drill down farther into the mud, because they know nothing else.
It's easy to destroy. It's hard to build.
This Internet forum is one of a precious few where people choose to build. To build civil and empathetic conversations. To build multi-faceted and productive growing spaces that feed people and birds and pollinators and living soil.
If this forum was an island, it would be a much better place to be stranded than the Lord of the Flies that howls outside.
If your old hat is a wise hat, you will like it here.
