When community organizing turns toxic and neighbors don't know how to reset

Our neighborhood has a group chat that started as a way to share resources and look out for each other, but it's become this toxic place where people air grievances and take sides. Three families have left the chat in the last month and the rest of us are wondering if we should just let it die.

What we've seen

Good intentions around mutual aid and connection have curdled into surveillance and conflict, and no one knows how to return to the original spirit.

Worth thinking about
