[QUOTE="TheAlkaizer, post: 9789062, member: 7024893"] So, Matt Colville released a video about community building recently. I like Matt, he's a smart guy and I almost always learn something from his videos, or they're just generally interesting. So his latest video was definitely on my radar. [MEDIA=youtube]emdki5B_O7Q[/MEDIA] Then, I heard/read it being praised by three different people in an afternoon and thought "Yeah, I need to get to it". First of all, it was enjoyable. And interesting. I learned a lot, especially because I have an interest in making things and finding the people that might enjoy those things. But more importantly, the video made me self reflect on some behaviors I might have online when I'm participating in a community (like ENWorld). It specifically made me realize that I have a nasty habit that does not improve the spaces I'm participating in. A nuisance. Something to seriously improve on. The reason I'm sharing it here is two-folds: [LIST=1] [*]I think it's an interesting topic. It's related to TTRPGs and I think most folks here will have a good time watching it. [*]I think many people (not here specifically, but in general) have something to learn from this video. [/LIST] I did think of ENWorld specifically a few times. I enjoy this space. But when Matt talked at length about individuals that spend most of their time talking about things that they dislike as opposed to things they like, I immediately thought about the growing need for (+) threads to keep conversations positive and fun to engage with. So I think if a few of us could learn a thing or two from the video. I am curious to see if anyone else has such reflections, or what they think about Matt's analogies or general philosophy behind communities, moderation, price, etc. [/QUOTE]
