The shortest distance between two people is a story. — Margaret Wheatly

I don't want to join your 15k Discord.

A large number puts me off more than it pulls me in.

Rest is resistance.
Community is resistance.
Indiependence is resistance.

Some ways I enjoy "teaching" in community...

Find a great educational video and highlight it

Highlight upcoming events, from Rosieland, contributors and sponsors.

Curating content to make it easier to find and save people time

I love writing where I also point people to in discussions when they need help

Opportunities for members to meet and talk through community challenges.


And we're getting back into meeting people IRL


Teaching in community

Community can scale way beyond Dunbar, but not in how people think.

It scales through every part of the business because "community is the business".

Community is care, if your whole business doesn't care then you'll never have a community that scales.

I share my learning as a social strategy.

Of course, it's not a social strategy. It's a learning one.

The nuances matter.

Some thoughts on this here...

What should we focus on in community instead of engagement?

If engagement is the hardest thing in community, could it mean that we are focusing on the wrong thing?
