So I wrote a post. It's something I've been thinking a lot about lately. I hope you'll give it a read.

Here's the gist: we have to stop talking about online community spaces as gardens or natural resources. You know what they are? They're bars. And that's okay.

@fraying I really appreciated this framing although I've been sober for almost 9 years! The analogy actually still mostly holds if you switch out bars for 12 step meetings (though people saying the craziest shit in AA (which they do) has uh, fewer consequences outside the room I guess).
