helpimabugThis is a place I'm testing the waters.
I don't really know how it works here; I had a livejournal, like, in 2002, but never really got into it.
I'm planning on posting content from Big Bad Con here; I fly out Thursday. I'm not sure if this is a place to talk about game design or even if that's a thing I'm really jazzed to talk about these days.
I'm interested in talking about community design, social justice, and above all else interdisciplinary concepts.
I have some specific brain projects that G+ never really provided a home for, so I might be looking to see if other spaces work more naturally for that.
Right now, it's a bunch of overlapping concepts from DBT/Mindfulness/Dialectics/Social Justice/Community Organizing/Game Design and it forms a cloud that sort of looks like some other things if you squint.
Another purpose G+ has never really served is that of a place I feel comfortable posting emotional content. Part of that is definitely on me. I also never really built up the momentum to reliably host discussions, so I mostly had to hope more prominent people hosted discussions that I was interested in. Few experiences on G+ were more frustrating than posting something and having 5 people go "." and then the post is lost to the void. This is what made me miss the SA forums, and, uh, that's not a good thing.
One thing I am uninterested in is using this space as a place to boost my brand, in any monetary or status sense.
I am also interested in posting stupid shitpost jokes. Twitter is probably the best place for that, but I don't like it. I currently use Facebook for that, and I think it'll remain that way.

Date: 2018-10-09 06:25 pm (UTC)hey, since it sounds like you've had more experience here and at livejournal, what's your experience with the process of organically meeting new people through this site? is it primarily through comments on posts?
