Community is not something that can be forced. It needs to grow organically. Commonality works like this magical force that attracts and gathers people. We are, after all, social animals.

The Internet helped us overcome many limitations including, but not limited to, our physical location. In the beginning we were able to find other people interested in the same or similar things on dial-up bulletin boards.

The dawn of the Internet was already yearning for some form of idea exchange and technology was born from the sheer need for it. Mailing lists and Usenet groups led to the birth of online forums.

All of it worked well, but people wanted something more. More social, more human interaction. That’s how social networking was born. Now it’s not only huge, it’s collectively one of the biggest business sectors ever created.

All it took was a couple of decades for the technology to meet mass acceptance.

All good and well, but some claim the big social networks grew too big. We lost something. There’s no intimacy. There’s no privacy. There are too many distractions. There’s way too much advertising. People want to take a step back.

But to where? A step back to the comforting space of smaller, focused communities where they can take an active part and feel heard.

That’s where you come in.
