RE: Optimism at the End of the World 0 : BE AWESOME - A new community based around a desire for deeper connections and shared values
I have yet to check out chainbb. I will get on that. Reading this got me thinking that maybe this chat can become a supplement to the communities function, or a place to hang out before it takes off.
The coders need people like us to help them to realize their visions. We are coders in a way too, we code the social environment to try and bring out the best that human nature has to offer.
I'd also like to meet a whole bunch of people from this community. Meeting through the internet is strange, sometimes we get even closer than we are with people in our 3D lives and there is still so much that we can't feel because we can't see the other persons eyes and expressions.
That is on my list of reasons to do well for myself on here, so I can go meet everyone. And you are high on my list of people I'd like to meet :-D
I've been thinking, as well as having a general chat room where people can dip in and out, what you need is some kind of trigger for a chat with a specific subject matter that can act as the fulcrum around which those interested can get to know one and other. So perhaps you make a post about a date, time and subject matter (maybe a brief summary of the last discussion) so that everyone can meet in the chat room and you do that maybe once or twice a week.
On chainbb, the discussion will be stored in the blockchain which is a benefit but is less of a direct chat which is less appealing.
