    Thank you for the thoughtful response. I am curious—how do you feel that Facebook, Discourse, Twitter, and Reddit are fostering community and promoting collaboration? Commented Apr 24, 2025 at 14:22

    @Piper their design, technical infrastructure, contribution rules, and social mass / momentum. the last one is significant. the same thing happens with software technology choices. even if there's new, better technology out there (or just alternatives with general parity and different tradeoffs), the benefit of choosing the well-established things is the network effect (Ex. CMake, or frontend JS libraries/frameworks). same goes with social platforms. Commented Apr 24, 2025 at 18:47

    @Piper, Thank you for listening! I have no insights about what they do well towards that mission. Sorry. I suspect you are far more knowledgeable about that subject than I am. Commented Apr 24, 2025 at 18:57

    @DW I’m also excited and inspired by this vision. Primarily because I believe it’s a shared vision between community members and the company. To say these goals are ambitious is an understatement. They are, but they are also achievable. Will we execute on everything this quarter? No, of course not, but we are hitting the ground running. Will we pivot on some of the implementation based on feedback in the discovery and experiment phases? Of course, we will. But that’s all part of good product development.

    I hope people take advantage of Des’s call to opt into Research Invitations. Building this together is what will make this vision successful. (2/2) Commented Apr 24, 2025 at 21:12
