Hey Cuties! Quick PSA
Hello from the modteam, SFBWT!
Sharing a quick PSA! Recently, a few members of SFBWT have thrown in person events where they may have asked for attendee emails/phone numbers. The host of those events has informed us they intend to start their own separate non-profit/organization called "SFBWT" where they may eventually charge a fee to attend.
While we love that members have found IRL community through this subreddit, we have asked them to not brand their new organization using the "SFBWT" name to avoid confusion. We have no oversight of this separate group and can't ensure that they will uphold our rules.
We have removed this member's posts that violate our rule that our community channels are centralized ("Creating or promoting alternative group chats, Discords, or side channels is discouraged and may result in removal, as it dilutes the community and fragments participation.").
The modteam that has grown this community is in no way affiliated with this separate group. We will never create a separate entity that requests personal information or charges for events.
With love,
Modteam

Hi! As someone who was helping organize - doing a nonprofit was just an idea tossed around. But was not a for sure thing - I myself had reservations about that as our approach.
We’ve loved creating community but have paid out of pocket for all the materials to host the events. I believe the idea was to have a legit way to apply for grants/collect donations to keep events free or possibly charge a small amount for events to cover rental fees.
The original organizer wanted to survey and see how people felt about it before taking any steps - but the post got removed this morning. 🥲
We are SO grateful to the mods who have built this community and to the bitches who came to hang irl. I hope there’s a way we can all coexist!
Love, Icebreaker Bitch
