A culture that embraces sharing what people are experimenting with/creative pursuits beyond their job. Ie someone who works as a designer by day, but in their free time are crocheting things or writing fiction or reviewing movies etc.

I think no social media product has solved the loss of community that happens with mass adoption. Yet. But there are closed design communities (in discord and slack) that work well. People support one another instead of trying to sell over-expensive courses to each other.

I’m really curious about this. I work remotely from New Zealand, so finding a community of creative folk to be part of has been something I’m looking for. I’d say, seeing what people are working on, their interests, things that inspire them, and anything they’re struggling with.

Love your main hits here: the craft, hobbies, inspiration and being real

Thanks, that’s exactly it. Would enjoy seeing all of that. Some old Slack communities I was part of had this, but they’re not as active or open.

A community that encourages exploration, experimentation and having fun in their craft. A community that shares resources, insights, and the willingness to connect with one another. An actual community 🫡

What is the waste for the rest?

would love more of a focus on lessons learned, rather than just self promotion.

Design is pretty nebulous, I like the idea of a place for anyone working on creative pursuits… maybe with subcategories on specific things you can really dig into (find mentors, collaborators, inspiration, etc) Feels like I’m talking about discord or Reddit 😅

To be a platform more focused on conversations than self promotion, and people actually share value with their peers!

Maybe? I like how casual posts is already, but could push the focus on skill sharing, resource posting… ways to present work that do it justice. Though I think it would naturally expand to other professions / hobbies anyway.

@liampmccabe is working on layers.to. This could be it.

Absolutely. It is nice to have multiple spaces that are a bit niche or specialist. No need to chase an algorithm as the topic has been set.

Anything that doesn’t become centred around a few voices rather than many. Social platforms are more often that not a bubble/echo-chamber. People having a ‘take’ on something & it then being re-shared by everyone like nodding dogs into infinity is the opposite of what I want.
