The challenge with FNB and similar projects is that they are easily depoliticized. Mostly, people are familiar with food serves through a traditional charity model that is generally hostile to actual change. Unless you are also doing some kind of political education or serving in a way that is antagonistic, most FNBs tend to become more charity-like over time.
I think I was confused about the difference between "top", "front" and "all". I thought front would be the front page of the site and that top would be posts with the most upvotes (which would be the front).

Reply to Food Not Bombs is such a great way to show people that mutual aid works, and to trust in their fellow humans. Do you have any similar ideas we can implement? by chaos
