I'm sincerely happy for you that you know a lot of people that embody these values. I'm only just getting there. I've had to create community, having felt intense isolation that at times bordered on a major depressive disorder. And while a large part of that community is around me in meatspace, a lot of it has taken place excitedly online, over email, on weird link aggregators with people with funny usernames who I give a massive shit about. I say this knowing full well that there was an internet before I was born ('91) with people doing just the same. I hope our celebrating doesn't take away from your strong identity as someone grounded in a community that embodies these values. And yea, the writing is cringey at times.
