Piggy-backing off of this post: the answer is to get off the high-trafficked parts of the public internet. Examples:
1. Meatspace user groups / interest groups.
2. University lecture series (the type of weekly seminar that all graduate students and faculty in a given research area attend). You can usually attend as a member of the public if you have an "in".
3. Mailing lists and discord servers for specific projects.
- vorpalhex 4y ago"Moving Castles" was the terminology I heard someone propose[0]. Unfortunately they got too caught up in the crypto nonsense but the idea was sound - good communities have to be guarded and they occasionally "lower the drawbridge" to bring on newcomers, potentially with semi-public spaces. This could be a minecraft server, a facebook group or what have you. Since the group is motile, they aren't affected by platforms being subpar. They can avoid stagnation by bringing in newcomers, but have a way to vet incoming people too before allowing them "internal" access.
