Last month we launched a space for community builders and curious creators to discuss top-of-mind themes in marketing, community building, and identity in the web3 space. All with the backdrop of a disco digital rave and nostalgic throwback to the 90s era of TV characters. We had surprise announcements, educational content and thought-provoking discussions.

Organized by the /community founder rileybeans.eth and channel hosts over on Farcaster, we hope to see you for the next, "The State of People," which pushes the boundaries of internet culture and subcultures.

Some thoughts from last time:

“I learned about the value of multi-generational groups and suggestion to invite different generations to your communities so that the elders can share their experience, and the younger ones can bring a new energy.”

“The community friends hour always leaves me learning something new. We also went into tactical tips and tools for community management and I’m looking forward to trying some of the new ones that were shared, like Blaze”

“I appreciated the questions posed on how many Communities are you part of? To me, you can only be really active in a few, and it’s OK to have different moments in your life when you prioritize different ones.”
