『she hacked you』 is like a pokèmon, evolving into a larger + more complex community project
SHY originally was only free educational computer science courses streamed live weekly; needing music for the stream, it became a music project, needing a community to tie everything together so there would be students and not an empty stream; I begun social media presence like on mastodon.social. Then overtime that has begun to change what the project is and means; and it has become more of a community.
Will it work? Who knows, probably not, but we can only know if we try
About Us
A community primarily made of various scientists, makers, hackers, communists, socialists, ecologists, mycologists, journalists, artists, arsonists, writers, environmentalists, witch apologists, engineers, activists, narco-terrorists, night-timers, day-dreamers and party-crashers
Different backgrounds, and beliefs; but what binds us together is the concern/care for other humans, and other creatures around us. Refusing to be bystanders in our universe
Objective facts are important to us b/c of our feelings

Rules
Essentially none; you are free to be stupid, free to post just about anything
Our goal is to mimic freedom of expression found on the early internet; but that is also freedom to endlessly ridicule, embarrass, insult and shame if you create stupid or hateful posts
But preferably, cultivate Interpersonal communication skills, be comfortable when incorrect, and learn from other people
Racist, fascist, and classical nazi to neo-nazi-- will wish you got banned; instead of consequences like suddenly bricked devices
