Inculcating Inclusivity, Eradicating Exclusivity
ο»ΏAt 7 Cups, All are Welcome.
ο»ΏWe welcome all who show good conduct, genuinely seek support, and respect community guidelines.
Did you see someone in one of our chatrooms with the following two qualities?
1) Was welcoming to those coming in the room,
2) *Was asking icebreaker so that all may feel included in the chat.
{an icebreaker as simple as 'how is everyone doing?' to as creative as 'what would you do if you were given unlimited cookies?' -select an icebreaker based on the nature and mood of the room!}
*The second point is only when no session or guided discussion is already happening in the room.
Please use this thread to give them a shout-out. If you want to do it creatively, make a graphic for them too!
Shout-out to @HealingBeams for being so inclusive in the Positivity Corner Chatroom.
They are always so welcoming, and ask an icebreaker when needed to unite the participants.

I would also add to this consider what the room's purpose is and focus on support based on the topic. If no one is chatting, sure ask about unlimited cookies. A specific session doesn't need to be going on though in a topic based room for off-topic icebreakers to be inappropriate. If people are getting support on-topic that should be the focus.
As someone coming from the disability community asking icebreaker questions about food can be especially inappropriate when someone is seeking support when fasting for testing or on a medically restricted diet.
@AffyAvo good point, i added a word about it!
@Fristo Thanks! Icebreakers can be beneficial if the when and what are chosen with thought!
@AffyAvo
How is unlimited cookies ever on subject?
@Gettingbettertoday In some rooms it can be on topic. In some other rooms it's not, but if no one is chatting or if those chatting are being silly or lighthearted asking a question like that can be ok. I hope that helps!
