Liam Rosen on Warpcast

Liam Rosen pfp

My name is Liam Rosen, and this is my far-st cast on Farcaster. My mission in life is to end the loneliness epidemic. I am attacking this problem from a number of angles: - I run socialfabric.nyc,. an aggregator of curated community portals here in NYC. - I published a guide on how to start a group chat for your apartment building (https://liamrosen.com/2024/11/14/how-to-start-a-group-chat-for-your-nyc-apartment-building), and have a goal of helping 26 such group chats get started before 2026. - I am writing a Beginner's Guide to Social Skills. - I’m a mentor for cabin.city, an org that teaches the social technology necessary to create resilient neighborhoods: hosting events, rallying neighbors, forging social ties, etc. - I am an organizer within Fractal (fractalnyc.com) and run the member community for Fractal Tech (fractaltechhub.com), a DIY hacker hub for ambitious, agentic, and prosocial founders and engineers in NYC. Let's create community together.

welcome to farcaster! love your mission re: the loneliness epidemic, i'm on my own personal little journey to bring more socializing into my daily life :) would love to hear your thoughts on how to curb the disappearance of public 3rd spaces, i think that's a huge contributor to the epidemic we face

Not what a lot of people want to hear as an answer, but people need to just create them. Lots of talking about how they're disappearing, not enough taking action.

but where do the funds come from to create and maintain them is the big question? it’s easy to answer with “just create them” but how are the folks who would benefit from them the most (as in, not wealthy) supposed to do that? where do you find affordable space to lease in a major city? where do you find the staff to run it? who funds it?
