Hello everyone,

Today marks the one-year anniversary of Refraction VR assuming management of https://t.co/Tb16QOlf0W. It has been a year of incredible growth, positive change, and community building. I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together.

Here are some of our key achievements from the past year:

Community Safety & Moderation: We made safety our top priority, reporting over 300 malicious accounts and avatars to VRChat Trust and Safety and collaborating with law enforcement when needed.

Shared Resources: We empowered other groups to improve their own moderation and group management by sharing the group management bot we use, Scarlet. (Join here: https://t.co/0AxH3w5LQs)

Incredible Growth: Our community has flourished! The LGBTQ.7981 VRChat group has grown by more than 5,000 members, and our Discord community has expanded to over 1,500 members.

The Gay Cafe: Thanks to a generous world donation from @spookyghostboo1 (Thank you for the La Barista), we launched our new community hub, "The Gay Cafe." https://t.co/Sm4Q8uh9Nw. We completely updated the world to SDK3, optimized it, expanded the space, and have made it a public resource for any group to use.

@VRChat Official Pride Hub: We were honored to have The Gay Cafe’s float and portal featured in the official VRChat Pride hub. https://t.co/Mn4oybLkQi. A huge thank you to the VRChat staff for this wonderful collaboration! Also, my staff has also informed me that we managed to help raise ~$1,000 during the charity event.

We have successfully moved past old challenges and built a stronger, safer, and more vibrant community. Thank you to every one of you for being a part of this journey. I am excited to see what we will achieve together in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Elocin_Anagram
Director of LGBTQ.7981
Owner of Refraction VR
