Mabe you are wondering why on earth does wikiloops need a designated forum for things related to covid 19?
And why are we keen to limit exchange on this topic to this distinct forum?
First of all, there needs to be space to exchange thoughts on the current global situation, and we do appreciate the many positive an encouraging messages exchanged between the wikiloops forum users.
We all notice having access to wikiloops is something very valuable in times where one is asked to stay away from band gatherings or public events - and those stuck at home will value the opportunity to meet on wikiloops even more.
Times are rough out there, and we would like to keep wikiloops a place that is free of "scary breaking news".
The media and social media (including fake news and such) are not recomendable spaces if you are looking for peace of mind these days, and we would like wikiloops to stay away from replicating worries.
Seperating any corona-related forum posts from the rest of the wikiloops forum gives every one of us the opportunity to choose wether we really want to read about covid 19 on wikiloops.
It may seem odd to put the quarantene topic under quarantene, but if we want to make sure wikiloops in all of its creative and positive aspects doesn't become dominated by a topic which we can do little about, that might as well be a good thing to do.
Thank you for reading this,
let's keep up the encouraging spirit during these hard times
and try not to bring more fear and frustration onto each other when speaking about our covid 19 thoughts.
