A New View of FC Community (my /firstdraft ) We talk about 'building community,' but why is it so hard?  @danicaswanson shared "Community Is Not the Product," in which the author argues that extrinsic--or external---incentives, in particular tokens, will not 'build' community. A community, he says, 'is an organic group of humans who are aligned on a given mission & values, working together to achieve that goal.' A community is formed by intrinsic-or internal-incentive--the people are already aligned. Community is a big part of why I'm here. This article gave me words to describe some things I've seen.  @hankmoody is building /live-the-same with intrinsic incentives. Hundreds of FCers meeting hundreds of FCers--it's like a digital cup of coffee.  /sense recently decreased in activity when Moxie changed. Guess who it didn't change? @3irka.eth @girl-ua @tylerfoust.eth @rosekeyes @vito4ka.eth Why? Because they are there for intrinsic reasons--they love building community. 1/2 (cont'd ⬇️ )

Thanks for writing this, and for naming me as one of your fav community-builders. That's high praise because, as you mentioned, building real community is hard. In case anyone else would like to read it, the article you're quoting from is "Why the Community is Not the Product" by Mark Beylin. I don't know how often the author checks FC, but I imagine he'd be interested to hear that his writing inspired yours and that you found that piece via my recent cast, so I'll link my cast and tag him - @beylin. Followed @hankmoody too! https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x004f0d2f
