### So is there a whole community here or what? Do you have forums or anything?
Well, firstly LRS by [anarchist](anarchism.md) principles avoids establishing a centralized community with things such as platforms, senior members, moderators, bureaucracy, codified rules etc. Every nice thing that went this way turned to shit once it became more popular and grew, corruption always appears and prevails (see [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md), [GNU](gnu.md)/[FSF](fsf.md), [Linux](linux.md) etc.). So we rather aim for a community of decentralized, loosely associated individuals and small entities with greatly overlapping sets of values rather than any organizations etc. So rather think something like many people with their own websites referring and linking to each other.
To start off let's first make it clear that LRS, being an [anarchist](anarchism.md) philosophy, avoids establishing a centralized "governed" community sporting things such as "platforms", senior members, chains of trust, moderators, bureaucracy, codified rules (aka laws) etc., i.e. there is no aim to set up forums, non-profits or anything similar. Although LRS might sometimes kind of support such communities, when established by third parties, as a temporary lesser evil, we must know it's never ideal and that essentially every nice thing that embraced a big "central hub"/authority turned to shit once it grew and turned very popular -- corruption always emerges and eventually takes over (see [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md), [GNU](gnu.md)/[FSF](fsf.md), [Linux](linux.md) etc.). So we rather aim for a community of decentralized, loosely associated individuals and small entities with a mostly overlapping sets of values rather than any kind of "main" organization. And so rather think in these terms: many people with their own websites referring and linking to each other, sharing ideas over email etc.
At the moment this wiki/movement/ideology/etc. is basically me ([drummyfish](drummyfish.md)), and there are a few people around who agree more or less with me. There are quite a few people who like this to various degree and contact me from time to time, many just write me a one time email, suggest something, thank me, suggest I kill myself etc. -- currently I would count these in dozens, from which I estimate there is a non-negligible number of silent lurkers (given that only 1 in relatively many readers will actually write me an email).
At the moment this wiki/movement/ideology/etc. is basically me ([drummyfish](drummyfish.md)) -- and maybe by its very definition it will always stay this way -- however then there are a few people around who agree more or less with me and who try to do similar stuff. I am very glad I've seen people inspired and actually do something thanks to reading my stuff, it means the world to me. There are such who like this to various degree and contact me more of less often, many just write one email, suggest something, thank me, share something nice or bad, sometimes suggest I kill myself, usual stuff -- it's really hard to estimate numbers but there is a number of closer followers and probably yet a larger count of silent lurkers (given that only 1 in relatively many readers will actually write me an email).
I don't have any web analytics set up, I could probably dig up at least number of site downloads or something but I don't even look at that, I don't want to aim for popularity.

A forum, mailing list or something would possibly be nice, so far I've only experimented with more or less private text boards for closer friends and similar things, no one made anything bigger yet and I would be hesitant to call it an "official" LRS forum anyway, exactly to prevent growing into some kind of corrupt "democratic internet community" of which there are too many nowadays. I am also absolute shit at running any "community" (I tried several times, always failed) and also pretty anxious of collaborating with someone, making hard connections to other project etc. So if you'd like to make a LRS-focused forum (or anything similar), it would be best if you just make it your own thing -- of course I'll be very glad if you refer to my stuff etc., I just won't be able to keep up with another project, play an admin or something, I will only be able to be a regular user of that forum.
A forum, mailing list or something would possibly be nice, so far I've only experimented with more or less private text boards, game servers and stuff like that for closer friends, no one made anything bigger yet and I would be hesitant to call it an "official" LRS forum anyway, exactly to prevent growing into some kind of corrupt "democratic internet community" of which there are too many now. I am also absolute shit at running any "community" (I tried several times, always failed) and also pretty anxious about the idea of collaborating with someone, even officially associate with other sites etc. It's not just my social anxiety but also the fear of social pressure that collaboration or affiliation might bring, which could bias what I write.

### Why the angry and aggressive tone, can't you write in a nicer way, especially when you advocate love etc.?
