Inspired by you guys (LessWrong), I'm trying out a thing: a free forum website called Kindness Village, which is intended to be a safe space for people to connect and support each other. This feels like a Thing I Can Do (among other things I'm already doing) in response to my ongoing feelings of dismay about current events. I want to make a place where people can not only make authentic connections and be supported--bypassing chitchat and social media blather--but also where, theoretically, people from both sides of the political spectrum can connect in a bridge-building, tribe-expanding way.

I have no tech skills to speak of, but I did my best as of now (I just made it). Would anyone here like to come join in and lend your intelligent voice to this project? I haven't announced it on my various channels yet; you're first because you inspired me! The URL is kindnessvillage.org (not .com because that one was taken).
