I’m so fucking frustrated right now about how hard it is to articulate and quantify non-financial value the value of relationships, community, public goods, or neighbors who care about you

The Lowkey Comfort of Long-Term Narrowcasting Reflections on a decade's worth of check-ins on the old school app, Swarm and the power of hyper-niche, cozy connections in a digital age If I’ve learned anything from Swarm over the past decade, it’s that it’s really nice to find a burrow into a cozy corner of the Internet, one that feels a lot less like a fire hose and a lot more like that neighborhood cafe down the street. https://hardmodefirst.xyz/the-lowkey-comfort-of-long-term-narrowcasting

You all want weird? I have your weird right here. After hosting my first official meeting of our block association last night, I made you a video about how to take all of the hand-written notes and turn it into digital records with action items, summaries, and follow-ups in just 10 minutes. Just one example of how AI is making the lives of community builders easier than ever before... https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/[video]-effortless-meeting-notes-the-10-minute-meeting-follow-up-workflow

community-building tip: listen carefully to each person's passions and gifts, then make thoughtful asks for them to share those gifts with the community. its a great way to make them feel valued and like owners/leaders in the group

New post: The invisible impact of everyday community The longer I work among online and offline communities, the more I think about communities as less like a dessert, and more like taking vitamins. Community-building takes long-term, consistent impact to nudge things along. Focusing too much on short-term vanity metrics will not only discourage you from progress but also distract you from this end objective. More on this, and some reflections on my own work as a relatively new block steward for my community on the Upper West Side in NYC. https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/the-invisible-impact-of-everyday-community

New post: The Egg Test - Measuring Community Like We Measure Engineering Teams It's common to measure the health of an engineering org by how long it takes to change a single line of code Can we apply this in how we measure the health of a community? Ent: The Egg Test 🥚👇 This weekend I needed an egg while cooking so texted my building messaging thread to see if anyone could offer me an egg. This so-called "egg test" revealed how long it took for someone to step in and support me (and maybe a little bit more) Full post at: https://paragraph.xyz/@bethanycrystal/the-egg-test-measuring-community-like-we-measure-engineering-teams
