Also interesting to see in the admin of this very site we have 'Community' - so 'welcome' - except I don't think it is - much as I would like it to be. What do you all think. Should we set one up?
longer reply needed - but in a nutshell - i don't believer substack is designed for real community - MAYBE they can deliver a quasi community for a single writer but even then - not really - and thats when it gets longer.
So what is your preferred digital platform for community discussion? Yes to pros and cons, but if you had to pick 1? Considering this now for Make Meaningful Work going forward.
If we are a community of two, John and Dan, what is it between us they creates that sense of community in your view?
Thanks JP and will read with interest. As this has been a common theme for you for years now.

Sure. What are the benefits of doing so from your perspective JP?
because none of us are islands - no matter what we think.
so what does community look and feel like on substack? given its not about digital platform as the focus.
