We have to deromanticize community. It's not some pristine untouched forest of soft moss and good vibes. The corporations count on that misconception to stripmine us for content.

Community has always been as weird and messy as humans are. It's work. It's relationships. It's hard. There isn't a magic number. They aren't inherently anticommercial. They don't all look or act the same.

A community isn’t a garden, it’s a bar.

It’s almost 2023. The world is different, the online world is very different, and I’m pushing 50. So I think it’s time we all start talking about online gathering places with a mo…

My advice, if you're new here, is to post. I'm still working on it myself.

The late stages of Twitter rewarded us for posting less frequently and for posting the worst kind of takes when we did.
