Agree with all of this. Running a good group chat is an underrated skill.

i’m usually the last to gender things

but i relish when men discover something “novel”

and it’s just something women have been doing for decades

ex:
- meal prepping (what do you think women did in the kitchen)
- longevity (aka wellness)
- lifestyle brands (aka marketing)
- and now group chats (aka community)

/ted | exploring the onchain frontier | surfing @ venice, ca | eating @ gjusta / gjelina

Maybe, but the point is a lot of work-in-progress information was shared publicly on early Twitter / Quora + more active blogging culture. 

Now most public stuff has been workshopped in group chats for a while.

Not necessarily bad, but different.

my impression after reading is the point of the essay is “this is what makes these group chats work” and not what you outlined above

i agree with you, but that wasn’t teased out at all in the piece that you QC’d… seems like that part didn’t make the cut from private group chat to public discourse yet :)
