I am slightly wary of this community, as it has the potential for a lot of unnecessary drama (as seen in similar communities on other websites),

tbh that's something I am unsure on how to approach. I would this to be a community where folks can celebrate shoplifting (as I stated in another comment) and at the same time I don't want to cause you and other server admins and other communities on this instance trouble with that. If you or others have any suggestions regarding this I would love to hear them. (Also in private messages if that's preferred.) At some point I will also try to make a post in !meta@slrpnk.net about this

"celebrate" seems an odd word in this context, but I do think our society needs to "normalize" that people need their basic needs covered one way or the other. If we as a society fail to provide the weakest with what is needed (despite surplus being available), we can't really complain about them trying to take it themselves. And this shouldn't be seen as charity, but rather as a human right.
