flora is one of the best communities i've ever, ever been a part of. it's full of mature, smart, creative people who care about helping each other learn and grow, and who care deeply about ending cycles of harassment. it's... singular. there's nothing else like it out there

the new public server was a long, long time coming. a year and a half! a year and a half of... well, uncertainty, and a lot of fear at what people like kiwifarms would do to us. a lot of operating in private and keeping strict safeguards on who gets in

now that the public server is there, you can join too and go and see what it's about if you want. if you have some criticisms or questions about things you've heard about whatever, i thiiink you're welcome to come and raise them and talk about them if you're respectable about it

if floraverse is something you've ever been interested in, i hope i get to see you there
