Where Does Community Live? - some responses - Connected Places
I agree that the architecture of a space matters, but I'm not sure the extent we agree as to how much a protocol really matters, versus what we build with them. Roundabout is built on atproto, and I'm quite happy with the decision. I think our architecture very strongly supports our communities.

Drinks with Nice People — Silicon Valley Version | Partiful
With five solid events in NYC and a recent hit in North Beach San Francisco, I am taking pity on overworked people living in Silicon Valley and bringing this popular and much needed event to your backyard. The purpose is simple: gather convivial gracious people of all ages, backgrounds and interests for conversation and drinks (including non-alcoholic) and let the fun begin. Rules are simple: RSVP (even if you can’t make it or aren’t sure), invite other interesting friendly people, show up, buy your own drinks and bites (though I may throw in a couple trays), and have a swell time. This is not a networking or pitching or tech event (thankfully!) it’s for purely human enjoyment. See you Wednesday!
Wrote a quick guide and checklist for those leaving Substack. Come to my free event tomorrow and we'll talk through it paidnewsletterplaybook.com/how-to-migrate-from-substack/
