For over a year we've had an improvement community on Skype that now moved onto Discord. The purpose of the group is to support each other along our improvement journey. New members are always encouraged to join, because the more people that join, the more ideas everyone is exposed to.
There are pros and cons of joining.
Pros:
>Exposed to new improvement ideas
>Exposed to a new perspective on an issue you're struggling with
>Exposed to improvement resources that you weren't aware of before
>Advice and support for an issue you are struggling with
>Birds of a feather flock together, surrounded by people who want to improve just as much as you
>Positive environment
Cons:
>Potential to be a massive time sink
>Potential for shitposting or other cancer to occasionally pop up
>Not always improvement tier conversations
>/pol/ tier conversations and views [Although there is a specific channel for this, so you may avoid it entirely]
>May provide no benefit to you whatsoever
If you've read the above pros and cons, and still want to join, here's the link:

It is highly and I mean highly recommended you introduce yourself when you join. Although there's nothing wrong with just lurking, it would be preferable if you talked. If you comment and noone responds or your comment gets lost in the void, try again later. If I'm online, I will always engage in conversation.
Keep in mind, a community and its standards are built by the people in it. If you want it to be more improvement focused, then start improvement conversations, lead by example. If everyone does this, then the above potential cons may get eliminated one by one.
