"These are some of the most important conversations we need to have in this space..." ~ @abundance Love to hear it. But the question I keep returning to is: how and where could we carry on the deep-dive discussions about funding creative labor in an ongoing way... and *also* keep them readily accessible, organized, and community-owned, so they don't just get buried by the FC algos and quickly forgotten? Wish I had a good answer to that. Can't help but miss old-school discussion forum software like phpBB. The group chat in Warpcast DCs is the best option I know of for keeping the discussion slowcore-friendly at the moment. But those messages will be deleted after a year. I'd like to preserve that early context somewhere for future reference.

I hope this conversation can take place on Farcaster, actually (though not Warpcast, which is stuck in the "perpetual now" of legacy platforms). The medium has an effect on how a conversation develops, so it's worthwhile to do it on an open graph that anyone can come up with ways to enhance the discussion. I was actually thinking about launching a forum-lile extension to FC in Impact App that can serve as a platform for long-form discussions - especially discussions around funding public goods (and then reward impactful contributions to the discussion). Atm this is still in the ideation phase

I'm on the same page about the preference for FC and the way the medium shapes the convo. Many of us have been wanting a community-owned space for slow-paced long-form discussions for quite some time. It's been a recurring theme in the /slowcore-hq channel. Seems clear that Merkle isn't likely to build something like that, so we're on our own. If you do decide to launch some sort of platform for long-form discussions, I'd love to contribute somehow, especially for discussions about funding.
