Small channels

When everyone communicates on one shared channel (like Twitter),

We need algorithms to jump in and help. Otherwise it’s too much.

When everyone communicates in their own small communities (like a Discord server, message board, or Slack group),

We don’t need algorithms anymore. We can enjoy every, messy interaction. The group can manage itself.

When algorithms get involved, silly games emerge, and value isn’t rewarded.

When the many separates into the few, value is what we value most.

This is why I’ve always believed more in communities than shouting into the noisiest channels.

Find your communities. Places you can show up with everything you’ve got.

Watch what happens to your network, your reception, and your projects.
