virtual communities do not in fact fulfill the human need for real community

Online communities are REAL communities and for MANY  marginalized folks/ disabled ppl and fringe groups and outcasts, online communities have provided space, time and continuums for us to be ourselves.. 
see: #BlackTwitter, mIRC, forums like UGHH and AllHipHop, Second Life, zines, and 90s bulletin boards/BBS

Building /wethemmedia, a community driven media org centering BIPOC storytellers.

yea i think this is valid, fundamentally the experience of belonging and having meaningful and vulnerable discourse so we can actually feel connected is what's important. I think it matters less wether irl or url and more how folx are willing to show up and how authentic they feel they can be. 1000 $crash

I’ve been a part of internet native communities since the 90s and don’t need to dream. 😚Lived it..

you can keep dreaming
but it’s not the same
doesn’t fulfill the actual physical need humans have for this thing
