Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“When a building that holds community memory must choose between housing people or gathering people, what does that choice reveal about what your neighborhood actually values?”

This is a big update for me: 50 Niche Social Networks by the numbers
I used to think we were up against a graveyard of failed projects. There’s truth in that, but it obscures the vibrancy of the existing social media landscape: There are 30 social networks most of us have never even heard of pulling in 500k+ monthly active users.... Welcome to Deep Takes on Hot Takes
Hello and welcome to Deep Takes on Hot Takes! Thank you for being a part of this. This is a huge experiment—and we believe it matters a great deal. I believe that what we start here over these next four days will plant seeds that will have an outsized positive impact on the... Leave the country or stay?
There was a time period where my friends and I were getting invited to these new exciting community projects in the Central America and Asia and Europe.... Relateful Camp Announcements
This is where we'll post all Announcements, and it's a great place to ask questions that aren't covered in other threads. Here's a checklist to prep for Relateful Camp: Fill out your survey (at this point, primarily helpful for Anja Sophie to do cabin assignments, and essential... - Oni-1...
A Vtuber Built on Community, Not Virality
I’m a music artist, VTuber, and radio-style host — and more importantly, I act as a voice and gathering point for a community I call Cyber City Underground.... Complexity def gets higher and reason why so many of us fall back to default patterns/norms or keep things super small sizes. Some friends of mine turned me towards https://mikikashtan.org/ work that seems interesting.... Gotcha! Yeah, I think basically there's nobody sticking around here yet because there's nobody who's stuck around here yet. In my imagination, everyone who comes and is part of some good conversation here then looks around and in their mind is like, "Why aren't there way more... - MISOLDIER...
It's a twist on existing thought process infrastructure. But that makes it good right out of the gate. The 1st rule of building a community is tobe sure you want to be a part of the process. It can be tiring...... - Tobias Reber...
Relational Tech Project
Just found out about this initiative and (without having had more than a skim so far) was reminded of my recently created UpTrust account, so this will be my first post. Hi to all who may see this!... The open question Aug 12: How do you make friends?
Hey y'all, This week's open question: How do you make friends? (and can you do it on uptrust?) How do you make friends online? (I don't think I have, which is perhaps ironic as one of the creators of UpTrust) How did you closest friends go from someone your recognize to friend?... - nat...
I’m part of a writing community that doesn’t use the word "marketing" when marketing. They prefer to use the phrase, "find the others". So perhaps this will be how UpTrust grows too.... I think where I’m at, from reading just what you wrote and linked, is here: re: integrity: I think what the landlord and ABP are doing is in integrity, unless they’ve tried previously to present themselves as mission-driven, caring first and foremost about the Austin climbing... - josefine...
I'm similarly to Jordan very curios how to include more of what many churches has into the personal growth movements. The grounded, wholesome, "we know and care about each other and live our lives together" sort of thing like caring for children/elders together or organizing... - CoachWebb13...
I personally like the "day off" idea. May I suggest a siesta as the terminology. If you listen to most of the successful influencers even they take time off. Think of it as a perfect time to connect IRL even if it's just a phone call....
