In the vibrant virtual world of Second Life, acts of kindness can create ripples that transform communities. Virtual Hugs was founded to combat negativity from gossip, rumors, and online hostility by celebrating the good happening around us. Through small gestures of appreciation and positivity, we can uplift each other—even across differing opinions—and remind ourselves that behind every avatar is a real person with unseen struggles. Join us in spreading kindness by submitting your own virtual hug and help create a brighter, more compassionate community
