Hello,
We should get a discord together. Core groups that are inclusive, like the ones here on this network, deserve to have fuller and richer convos. I’ve talked to more people I don’t know on this site than others and in a way that is more reflective of my internal self. I would like to open this up for discussion.
I don’t know if this has been tried before by this group and if it has I’d like to hear about the experience. I see that there could be certain pitfalls that would naturally beset our work to host such a server but those pitfalls could end up bringing healthier community together just as much as it could be problematic. I see success boiling down to administration and content moderation, which I’m sure the admins here could speak to if they were so inclined.
I think, speaking to the positives, we could firmly see more real community relationships form in ways that touch more people, and to those ends I think it is worth bringing to life. On top of that, it would allow a more metered way to build groups actively voicing ways they’d like to share. Many of us joined because we want to find partners, and while that is difficult to do here, it doesn’t mean we can’t be supportive of that in the community in new ways that would allow that voice to see a more dynamic strength to be established with one another.
Other Poly communities fall apart because of poor structuring and lack of interest. It could be the case that we could build a better version of those communities due to our small but devoted group of regulars and see growth from that core group.
Thoughts?
