What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to bring ASL users together in an online space, for a diverse socializing experience. We are Deaf-owned and operated but we are NOT ASL teachers and our attendees are a combination of Deaf/Hard of hearing and hearing allies, welcome!
We welcome all levels of ASL. We just ask that you keep your cameras on and voice on mute. This is a conversation group so we hope that everyone is able to participate in some way. This is a supportive group so if you are at the conversational level or fluent please be patient as many people who attend are new but eager to learn ASL.
To reiterate the rules in this group, Gay/ Queer bashing/hate of any sort will not be tolerated. You may notice a couple people have been kicked out of this group for this reason and continue to hold the members in this group accountable for their words/signs. That includes private messaging and emails. This group welcomes open-minded people of ALL genders who want to socialize and have fun. To be clear, will Continue to ensure our space is sate for all of our members, and offenders will be removed and blocked immediately.
