my thoughts on gwdfi's closure/what to do now

Instructions

Hey everyone! It's Navy, and I'd like to share my thoughts on this closure. Feel free to include your thoughts or ask questions in the comments. First, I'd like to state that I am not someone who holds authority over this situation, nor am I someone who has any power whatsoever, but I'd just want to say what I think about this. Overall, I think gwdfi needed a closure. Indefinitely felt like a bit much, but I agree it should be closed for a month or longer. What sucks is that it was sprung on us super quickly, and I hate that we didn't have more time. This basically concludes to 'Don't take things for granted', which I'm sure most of us did. Gwdfi was a safe space where girls (and all genders) could feel like they belonged. I agree with Daisy on the fact that the overall concept has drifted away from that, and the community as a whole is not as strong. I'll also state that this was not surprising to me, as I knew gwdfi would close eventually. I'd also like to say, please please do not harass any of the managers for this. Don't come at them. I know you may think it's their fault, but this is what they think is the best for all of us. Now, what should I do after the closure? Well you could go to another chatroom. There is several that I'll link. I'd suggest going to these 4, and not making your own as that is bound to be inactive.

I know it's hard to let go since gwdfi means a lot to us, but maybe connect with people irl more. Do sports, hang with friends, take a mental health break. It will be better for you than you know. And if you really need to talk and have that sense of community, there's other chat rooms out there not on Scratch, and there's group chats you can have with your irl friends. I know we are sad gwdfi is closing, but maybe take it as a sign to get a mental health break. It will help a lot. Drink water, take care of your body, it deserves it. And just get back into the real world again. Love you all, and gwdfi was a very special place and I'm sad to see it go. If you want to talk to me please do i'm a lonely bean. /hj
