Why No Lawns?
Why No Lawns?
Well why would I want a boring grass mono culture yard?
This is basically how no lawns started. Over on Reddit just over 5 years ago I started no lawns after having a fun conversation with u/suuperdad about changing the boring grass lawn into some thing more native and better for the environment. On a whim I created a subreddit for it and we started with a hand full of people and now we're pretty good sized!
With the reddit blackout on, we realized this community needed to be bigger than Reddit. We already started a discord and we have an Instagram (although I'm terrible at updating it) we wanted to reach even more spaces.
I found slrpnk on accident but, it seemed to really fit with our theme and here we are!
We're anti monoculture, pro natives plants and we love a non traditional yard.

thank you for moving over! i was checking which subs were continuing the blackout over on reddit & the nastiness and misguided anger towards you & your post is disgusting. i hope it hasn't affected you too much & that this community will remain civil and welcoming as it grows to that scale
Thanks! After I locked the comments I got quite a few people who thanked me for participating. Guess the crazies just tell the loudest haha. Although the poll we decided to make does seem to be favoring not continuing the protest :(
Eh that poll was always going to go that way due to selection bias. Folks who would vote to keep it shut down didn’t even see the initial post, because they’re the same folks boycotting Reddit.
It's up for 3 days because honestly, I need that 3 days as a break from what my inbox was lmao
Take all the break you need for sure! But honestly time won’t help much with selection bias. More people will vote sure, but those more people still probably only found the vote because they came back to Reddit and therefore wouldn’t be of the mind to continue the shutdown.
Very true.
its sad to see but kind of expected for reddit users; a few days of personal 'struggle' would feel like more of an injustice than corporate greed. it's a uniquely cultish user base imo
