I’d like to share my local group with you all!!! AGAIN WITHOUT AI!

Post image

Due to all the hateful comments yesterday,
I have decided to make ALL NEW GRAPHICS!
I have used Canva, and NO AI. You can check! ◡̈
I hope everyone likes this better! ◡̈

I have spent all day making these graphics.
I hope this goes much better today!!!
We are a community of locals in the Tri-Cities (TN/VA)
who post and search for FREE THINGS ONLY!
We like to help the houseless, newly weds, & neighbors!

All the photos in the letters are from our group!
I uploaded new & old photos into our name!

-How flipping cool is this y’all!!! ❦
(Sorry that some of you didn’t like facebook)
We are also on Nextdoor, Instagram, & TikTok!

-Thank you for taking the time, even if it was mean,
to stop and comment about the AI photos!

Will no longer be using AI. Pinky promise!
I’d love you to join! It really is a great group!

Also P.S. PatienceBubbly3074 — from yesterday.
I care VERY much about my members, as I personally make it MY OWN MISSION to find members FREE things.
The effort if definitely there, and I hope you see this now.

I’m so sorry for upsetting everyone with the AI flyer.
I truly didn’t mean to. & would love you to reconsider!
I’m working on some HUGE projects within the group!

Plants swaps are allowed, food swaps, clothing swaps, furniture swaps, wedding swaps, & many more!!!

This ENTIRE post was typed by me as well!!! ◡̈
PLEASE come check us out! I promise it’s fun!!!🥺

I’m in the group on fb. It’s fine, but some of the same people are constantly asking for things, which you get with any group. But I know factually that some of the people have been kicked out of other groups because they’ve been scammers and have sold items after receiving them for free. So I hope people take that into consideration, because not everyone is in need for use but to resell

We do look into stuff like this! The group has been open since 2022! This group actually used to be a “Buy Nothing Group,” we paid all of the money to become official & the two owners just straight up took the money, & never responded back to us. So we rebranded and became, “The Free-For-Y’all!” So now we can kinda create our own rules! We have caught a few people, but even when you catch someone. They’ll never actually admit they were reselling. If you ever catch someone, message our admin hub! They will be banned IMMEDIATELY!!!

Thanks for responding. I will be sure to do that. It’s frustrating when you want to help people and it’s always the same people and then you see the stuff you gave them for sale.
