Refresh Connections 17+

Thank you!

The very existence of this app gives me hope! I’m excited to watch this app grow and the community with it! Thank you thank you thank you to the developers!

Another concept bursting with potential…

I keep hoping for an app where a true sense of community, mutual aid, and genuine care for each other is reflected.

Yet keep encountering apps, servers, and relational spaces where the majority are just engaged in one long performance.

In this case… a space where folks wear masks and take Covid seriously.

Made up *mostly* of those who managed to not be impacted by anything too directly at this point.

And rather than being grateful for this… are instead, focused on returning to some semblance of normalcy that either allows them to ignore everything else going on around them or continue to cherry-pick the causes they will vocally support.

Which does not feel the least bit inclusive or like a place where safety, trust, and community can be fostered.

Just a place where folks can bond over feeling superior that they have the resources, access, and ability to acquire masks, socially distance, and receive vaccines.

When deep down, they’re aware of how utterly fortunate they are. And how many will never be afforded these same set of privileges.

Lastly, anyone who feels it necessary to write “smartest person at the party” or “in the room”… or encourages this as a caption… is not someone I’d feel remotely comfortable reaching out to.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for joining early! Everyone can participate in the comments in the Refreshments Bar community forum - it asks for a username so you can choose a different name to go by in the community than on your profile. Once you choose it you are good to go - we hope you give it a try! You also have the option to let members connect with you directly in the Refreshments Bar, and our early growth will soon support new sections for Long Covid, Families, and specific cities. In addition, during our soft launch, everyone gets a three-month free trial of Pro. Please contact us at help@refreshconnections.com if you have any more questions.
