Woodstock Community Listserv
Residents of the Woodstock Community are invited to subscribe to the Vital Communities Listservs, an automated email distribution system for participants with shared interests. A subscriber sends an email to one special listserv address, and the software automatically forwards it to everyone subscribed.
From the Listserv host:
"Vital Communities has paused the Woodstock Community Listserv as of June 1, 2026, to give us time to review the feedback we are receiving from subscribers regarding the listserv’s purpose, guidelines, and impact.
We initiated the listservs as a community self-managed way to build connections and share opportunities. To a large extent, that is how they have been used, but we have recently been hearing from some community members that they have become, at times, destructive to community well-being. Robust civic discussion that welcomes diverse perspectives and information is critical, but a listserv is not always the best path to respectful, productive conversation that strengthens communities.
We will reconnect with this community when we have a better sense of the path forward.

Front Porch Forum
Residents of the Woodstock Community are invited to join Front Porch Forum (FPF), a Vermont-based neighborhood social network that helps people connect with others in their community. The goal is to encourage civil, neighbor-focused communication rather than engagement-driven social media behavior.
