I have also been here for about two months. I think it is excellent that you managed to avoid these scams. That was wise of you. I might have fallen for them. I have also had some great experiences at The Terminal as well as help from some wonderful people.

I often think I should spend more time on Discord to be sociable, but being sociable in real time doesn't come naturally to me these days.

On the other hand being a bit less open might have saved me from some of these scams!

It is great that you are sharing these experiences. Too often, people sweep bad experiences under the rug, and then others cannot learn from them.
