    Cool to see enlightened funding convos in public. As a semi-professional quantifier of value, I'll share an idea that might resonate with you. Basically the KPI is long-term relationships. Maybe measure engagement (well understood model) but only IRL engagement as tracked in healthy value aligned spaces. If you get a venue, you'd be able to quantify a type of trust that is rare in modern society. Recommendation engine for friendships? Would that not be more valuable than a Netflix subsciption?

    which is more effective? gathering the cool people around you (which seems to be the theme of the video here) .. or ... make the people around you cool? that is to ask ... if you simply gather like minded people together how do you get the opposition involved? wouldn't it be more effective to get buy in from your direct community regardless of their like mindedness? the fact that this conversation of Nudie Orientation is needed in these camps really speaks to the ideas that direct community interaction is needed, no? it is of course great to have camps for these events. a coming together of the tribes. but then these individuals go back to their solitude in proximity of a community that they do not share ideas with and have not learned how to build it. maybe a traveling circus model would be good? gather these events as block parties weekend after weakened one block at a time. involving the entire block regardless of their world view.

    Whoo Josh! I second everything he says. Moving slowly and allowing needs to be filled as we go really works for our group. There is no pressure of deadlines or failing. We might try something new and little by little build upon it. Adjusting in the moment to fit a need better. This encourages collaboration amongst our group and makes the whole process like a natural progression. It's also more inclusive. Anyone can jump into an ongoing project /task. There's no worry of needing to have a prior commitment. Just support in any form that is comfortable to you, even if that is just showing up and building connections. ❤

    What is microsolidarity? How does it resonate / interoperate with this? My focus is on the concept that we need governance at the level we affect things. If someone pollutes the sea anywhere it affects all of us. So we need a way to coordinate at the level of billions that is not authoritarian and that allows everyone to participate, everyone to work on crowdsourced solutions, and the best to easily rise to the top, reducing the noise.

We want to avoid things like those scam accounts that popped up trying to use our branding, but our intention is to develop some kind of mentorship program as we settle in to things.

    • @jcomden
      @jcomden 2 роки тому

      @@microsolidarity I coordinate a large crew (8-10 people) to give out prepared food and hygiene products to unhoused people in our area (Lakewood, CO, USA) every Friday evening. Roughly half of the crew makes it to the event each week. Our events are really just lightly managed chaos because each person from our crew is contributing something different. When we have a potential new member come visit our event, they usually ask the reasonable question on how they can help. I usually respond with a vague "You can jump in wherever you see a need that you can help with. Eventually you will notice a need that we are continually missing but you can provide. But if you don't see a need, just hang out with us and socialize since we are building community." Some people will grab hold of that permission of agency to jump in and find ownership of some part of our weekly operation. Those people return and join the crew. Others will freeze and not know what to do, so I spend my time during the event just socializing with them to tell them about what we do, ask them what brings them here, introduce them to people, and try to think of something on my super long list of things we as a crew want to do but haven't done yet that they may be able to help with. These people almost never return even though they seemed to enjoy the experience. I try following up with them about a month later to give them time but I usually don't get a response back. Part of me thinks that probably something came up in their life that does not allow them to come back. But another part feels like that I scared them with much too much information and overloaded them. But it is hard to know which of these two types of people I am meeting when I meet them for the first time. And while we do have some tasks that we would love someone to do that requires only minimal social interaction (if social anxiety is keeping them away), it would require the crew to trust them first (via socializing with the members). So for now, I have accepted that we just won't be able to get the second type to join us. But in the long-term, I would like to change that.

    • @microsolidarity
      @microsolidarity 2 роки тому

      Thanks for sharing this story Joshua, sounds like you are doing great work. I totally hear you about the challenge. In my last conversation with Silvia (ua-cam.com/video/gu_jNf6Eqpk/v-deo.html) she described this skill as "listening in & responding to what the super-organism needs". It's very subtle! and not surprising that many people take some time to learn how to do it. I agree with your sense that the community building is more important than doing specific tasks. However this is so unfamiliar to people! I've noticed a lot of people find it easiest to develop a sense of belonging in a community when they know what their contribution is. It can be a small thing, like, you're the DJ, when we have our meetings your the first person we ask to choose the music. There's something settling about knowing what my contribution is, and other community members knowing what my contribution is. like, ahhh I have a place here. One suggestion: you could have a conversation with some of the more active crew members, and brainstorm a big list of tasks, no matter how trivial or random. What are some practical things that someone can always show up and help with? Write that up somewhere, sorted into categories so it's not so overwhelming (trello could be a good option). I've been in volunteer groups where we had a big list of ways to contribute, sorted like, "If you have 10 minutes, you can do X, if you have an hour, you can do Y". sorry, I notice I'm super slow replying to UA-cam comments! Would you join us in the Discord chat group? there's a more lively discussion there :) discord.gg/Kp2xVuSFAX - Rich

    I really appreciated this conversation! Especially the takeaways at the end. It reminded me of many internal conversations with myself. And I am very happy to see other people much further along than me in building communities to be inspired from and learn from hearing their experiences. When trying to build networks of people, I am always aiming to maximize quality relationships between individual people. When I first started, I tried doing this without projects but I think people find it hard to make relationships when there isn't a shared project or concrete goal. So now instead, I am simply finding small groups who already have a shared internal project, and discovering potential avenues for the groups to collaborate. I am learning that introducing a member from one group (that I know) to a member of the other (that I know), is much more successful than trying to introduce one whole group to another. But this is not just a simple generic introduction. It is finding a shared need that can be the seed.

    • @richdecibels
