Folks, over the next few weeks, I am shifting my focus to growing our community across social media platforms that support free speech. I want to grow our Locals community and make it as affordable as possible for people to participate.

I have lowered the monthly subscription to the minimum of $2, which is required for folks to comment and share, but it is free for all to read. I will be very honest with you: the ability for me to continue making content is threatened by economic hardship. It costs money to maintain the location and resources to create and deliver content to you. If I return to the workforce, then I won't have time to create content. If I don't return to the workforce, I may lose my apartment and have to move to an area where I will not have sufficient Internet to deliver content.

If you are able to provide financial support, that will go a long way toward building longevity for this community. That includes paying not only for basic expenses, but for services such as viable YouTube alternatives that are not free for upload, such as Gab.tv and Minds.com. I am truly grateful to anyone who can subscribe for $2 or more per month.

I have been brainstorming how to make this community - across all channels - more engaging and fulfilling for its members. I am only one person, so this will move slower than I would like. As the community grows across different platforms, I will look for volunteers who wish to help with growing the Destiny 2 communities that we've started with intent to engage all players and help both new and experienced players. I am also diversifying my content and actively searching for new games that the community can enjoy together.

That is why it's important for us to come together as a community. My face may be on it, but you are just as important as I am for making sure this is a truly worthwhile place for all community members.

As a reminder of what we stand for, I am including our Vision, Mission, and Values below. Our goal is a truly diverse community, including that of thoughts and beliefs, where people of different backgrounds and beliefs can come together as one family. And I know that, for some of you, this really is your family.

As the community leader, it is 100% my job to ensure that we abide by the below values and adhere to our mission to achieve our vision. It is my job to make sure that he spirit of this community prevails. I fully accept that responsibility.

Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate all of you, and I am honored that you choose to spend your days with me.
