  • That was always the problem with /r/snackexchange and the other real-world subreddits I tried to make. 95%+ of the time it works as intended but without some kind of extra safety step there are people who have no problem punching down or sideways. We were never willing to do top-down user verification due to the privacy concern but that was the essential step that we would have needed. c/mutual_aid is going to have those same pitfalls as the site gets larger, especially if people hear about this place before they do Hexbear more broadly.



  • When I moved here I looked at one particular mountain daily for three years before attempting it. The first time I went up I turned back right beneath the summit due to dehydration. Getting down safe meant being able to do it again with a better sense of what I need to do it better. Turning back is always the right move where safety is concerned. Nature can’t be taken for granted when a medical evacuation is hours if not days away.
