i do not feel competent enough to nucleate such a thing and i am lowkey waiting for one of my more competent friends to do it for me

I've been meaning to move to stage 2 (house with growing food but still close enough where we aren't self sustaining) but the thing is, I need to meet the people I want to do this with to really know how they are
and that's been impossible recently lol

imo the biggest thing here is to avoid scope creep and define the purpose and make sure you don't have like,,, 3 ppl dweebing out guns, someone learning how to make a bunker while all the fucking plants die and everyone's on edge
start small. house. garden. food. people

I'm not in the business of making a zero waste 10-year-reserves armed bunker compound. someone's talking about WMDs in this thread lol
I want a core group that has the skills to grow what they can, and the money to buy the shit they can't
a place for others to join
and happy

Alice my confirmation bias is tingling with anticipation.
QC maybe initiating a land based community is out of reach but you could start a couple crews purely for peer support? Start weaving the social fabric from which projects might start to emerge.

i have thought about this but it’s still scary, been trying to build some friendships up more 1-on-1 though and we’ll see what happens with that
but I never intended to make a commune when I started
it was just "oh these people are cool I'll visit them" "oh they need a place to stay" "wow they're in my city have them over"
until it was "I know dozens of people, and can move in together with friends and partners"
