hi, admins! i've noticed a bit of an energy shift lately, and it makes it hard to participate in conversations. i've not had the chance to put my muse out in a conversation yet, and every time i almost get the courage to, there's bickering or uncomfortable topics being passed around. i'm not asking you guys to police anything, i'm just asking for advice on how to navigate this. thank you!
hi, anon! thank you so much for coming to us about this. even anonymously, we appreciate you taking the time to reach out and make us aware of things going on that we may not be able to catch. we have also noticed an energy shift, and we are trying our best to do everything we can to combat it.
both admin heron and admin howl envisioned celeste as a place of comfort for many oc and au writers that wanted a university setting with a twist. we wanted a place to focus on your muses instead of others ooc, which is why we decided against an ooc group chat, and a place to write without the overarching presence of nsfw, hence the no nsfw group chat or threads group. we have also always prided ourselves and our members of being extremely welcoming, and we appreciate them always for being so. however, the longer we stay open, the more connections foster, and we know it can be hard for newcomers to assimilate at first! sometimes, it can be hard to speak in a place where the majority knows each other, so anon, we understand where youβre coming from.
in terms of advice, the best we can give you is to attempt to out your muse out there. even if itβs with plotting, or just in the chats, try putting them out there! if it still feels awkward after that, please come to us off anonymous or on anonymous and we can help you the best we can. we want to do everything we can to make sure all of our members, new and existing, are comfortable and having fun. in terms of the bickering and uncomfortable topics, we have made an announcement for members to be mindful of others when participating in group chats and to be welcoming to everyone. if the behaviour still persists, please trust that the both of us will handle it. as much as the admins want to help, the members also have to be willing to put in the work as well. and that part is something we cannot control, but we can try our best to encourage!
never fear in coming to us anonymously or off anonymous for concerns like this. we want to help, this is what the admins are here for! if you, or anyone else, has any other concerns, please come to our askbox, tumblr dms, or discord dms. we are always there to listen! thank you again for this ask, and the admins will do their best to be mindful and watch out for any behaviour that may turn off newcomers. βοΈ
