creating loving spaces for conversation online requires the same characteristics for the space as offline 1. the person needs to be heard and feel heard (witnessed) 2. the person needs to talk about what really matters to them (don't know any term for this, do you?)

trying 2. authenticity, rootenedness, voice. People vary on this spectrum. The loving space creates an opportunity for people to develop it.

yeah, 1 is external and 2 is internal i think. 1 relying on serendipity is a bummer. unsure if there's a way to push for 2 through design, seems like a choice one has to make regarding how they want to engage. right?

been churning on this feeling safe online is hard. if you can play and show up as lighthearted people feel they can be at ease and share what they are thinking/feeling you can create a scene that rewards this, it takes most people in the scene to opt in

i think things like good conversation, play, laugher, interest, are inherently rewarding having conversation/play at the highest level you can is rewarding. finding that group is the hard problem

Indeed. In my experience it’s much easier if you speak your mind. People think you attract people very similar to you but I’ve found that to be further from the truth and it’s great

theres great fun leaning on someone's fluidity to scaffold your own fluidity so you can think higher thoughts!
