Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that chair over there. Is anyone reading this? Take off your shoes, please; I just cleaned that carpet. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at .

Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
Good for you. It’s hard to distance ourselves from people who are no longer good for us. Are there any groups or clubs in the area based on your interests?
I’ve done an event with PSL. A goal of mine is to become more active next year. I also have some non-political activities I enjoy. I’m confident better people for me are out there.
Definitely, I find just being friendly and engaging goes a long way to making new connections with people. Making friends is more difficult as an adult but at least we can have more choice over who we pick as friends.
That’s true. My old friends just weren’t very nice. I’ve also decided to try to re-connect with my brother more.
Yeah not much point in having friends who aren’t nice lol. That’s awesome you have a brother you can connect with though. Family is a great way to meet new people through social circle exchange. Maybe you two could get involved with something and meet new friends that way.
