@Impossible_PhD Just curious, where are you seeing this loss of community? Is it on here? Or other platforms? Kinda curious as a temperature check since i don’t go near Reddit and a lot of other spaces.
And honestly, part of what is likely going on is he turnover that happens over and over and over again in our online communities.
Don’t know if you remember me talking about it like…I think a year and a half ago?…but it’s been palpable to me the absence and loss of us pre-2020 folks, especially the ones that shaped my earliest online connections in 2017 and 2018. This churn has been going on over and over again - and I think it’s hitting the pandemic cohort now. What you and others want/need from these spaces has gone down a lot as you come into your self and life, and a lot of folks will check out and disappear from online to just live their lives now. This has been compounded as so many online platforms have become threats to us.
This is why you all didn’t have that many experienced voices in place in 2020. And why many of those that supported and inspired me have withdrawn. Like I said, I’m committed to staying in and giving and enduring the backlashes…but I get paid to do that and it’s my primary endeavor. You don’t need to carry that and it’s okay to step back. 💜
