You have been proactive in your tackling of the recent political issues.
Well done on keeping a level head.
It is not unusual for a new community to experience some teething issues.
Like you said, "lso, I’ve learned, who I can count on in case of trouble and which users simply … suddenly “disappeared” - valuable lessons for many of us. It has surely been a bumpy ride so far."

My main gripe is the Discord Logo :) Everytime, I think I am logging onto a Phillipines channel. Maybe, we can improve it with a logo of some sort?
