  1. It never ceases to amaze me how vast majority of people think nowadays building community is all about completing transactions vs. building long-term relationships.

    That's how messed up the incentives behind #cmgr are at the moment, as a result of our tech fetish with traditional #SocialMedia πŸ˜”

    "Where is the sweet spot between participant knowledge, experience and motivations, and the outcomes we (the organizers) wish to achieve?"

    This postπŸ‘‡πŸ» by @jeffdmerrell is an excellent read confirming conversations without concrete action, within a community, may well be more harmful than useful.

    Finding the balance between the two is where the magic happens πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ˜Ž

    This looks like a really cool feature, & I can already think of some great use cases for it on . We could do a Team collection, we could create collections of the fantastic projects that choose to make their home on the server, we could create collections of contributors or maintainers, & so much more.

  9. Three elements of Community Listening:

    - How a group facilitates listening to the community members it serves
    - How a group helps community members make sense of what it is learning
    - How a group facilitates co-creating solutions with the community members it serves

    For anyone interested in building, nurturing & sustaining communities, this blog post πŸ‘‰πŸ» jeffdmerrell.ghost.io/2026-com by @jeffdmerrell is a #MustRead

    It's a long, meaty read but *totally* worth it!

    Gosh, just re-read @tante blog post below and it's plain brutal! πŸ€―πŸ‘πŸ»

    "Work is not really about finding friends. It happens but it’s not necessary. But there is – ideally – a level of respect for one another. The acknowledgement of each other’s expertise, skills and contributions as well as one’s weaknesses. All those allow the forming of communities based on solidarity" πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ³πŸ’‹

  11. May 21 will mark 25 consecutive years that I've managed the same online community. Can I make it to 50?

    We're working on some plans to celebrate the occasion. It's interesting to get into generational online community. Not just because your community attracts people of different ages but because different people were born after it launched, and they are now participating in the community.

  13. January 6 is a reminder of the consequences of weak leadership in those making community, moderation, trust, safety, and policy decisions. Sometimes from people in those roles - and sometimes from the bosses they report to.

    Public interest exemptions - and the bending of policy for users with big followings, for fear of losing them - helped set the stage for Donald Trump to ascend to the presidency.

  14. The whole Grok creating nonconsensual sexualized images thing has me thinking about the one really loud "community" pro who made a point to respond to my Twitter exit in 2022.

    He told me how I was doing it "for [my] brand" and about the great (nonsense) strides Musk had made on CSAM. He really wanted to get into Musk's good graces.

  15. Repealing Section 230 is a mistake at a time where we just can't afford to make one. The Trump administration is corrupt and vindictive and will use the removal of 230 as a catalyst to bully online communities and platforms, small and large, to cater to their whims.

    I have no idea why Sen. Whitehouse cannot see this. That even if you think there are issues with 230, NOW IS NOT THE TIME.

  16. I was watching a series of TikTok videos where a woman discussed her efforts to track down and hold accountable a man who left a horrendous, highly offensive comment on one of her videos, from his business account.

    She has reported the man's behavior to groups that he is a member of, licensing agencies for his business, and other relevant professional parties.

  18. YouTube is caving to pressure from Jim Jordan to unban creators who had repeatedly violated community guidelines tied to COVID-19 and election integrity-related content. Just like many of those involved in January 6, a group of folks will now be given a redo. They will once again cause harm.

    This is leading to speculation that Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes will return to the platform.

  19. This is a unique opportunity to help continue the momentum with the Software Foundation.

    Have you, or someone in the community made important technical contributions? Nominations are open for our Technical Steering Committee.

  20. Have you ever received a swag box / gift box for involvement? (running a user group, becoming a maintainer, X number of contributions, becoming an ambassador, etc)

    What are some of your favorite items you've received?

  21. I learn a lot about your content moderation philosophy based upon how your community guidelines apply to the internet's villain of the day.

  22. Reddit's choice to block the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine, in order to prevent AI companies from indexing Reddit posts, is the type of self-serving, greater good-harming move I've come to expect from companies like Reddit and Stack Overflow.
