A simple, and great idea. The post-social media world can be a lonely place and it's nice to see this effort to connect divergent people in a genuine way AFK, and outside of a capitalist or mystical/religious/occult context.
- pidg 11y agoAgreed, I've been attending mystical/religious/occult events for a while now and I just end up meeting weirdos.
- brookside 11y agoMore than a third of people in my country (US) do attend those events, and they are teh de-facto social outlets in many communities. Great to have alternatives.
- ankitshah 11y agoAppreciate the good words, and I'm glad this resonates with you! Although we avoid mystical, religious, or occult contexts, I do think it's important to understand the shared soil from which a lot of these things rise. It's helpful to have some common glue for a community to center around, especially when it involves some notion of what it means to be 'good' in the societies we live in. For lots of people, that comes in the form of some spirit or beyond-tangible belief. With TWS, we assume that the people around us give us more than enough to believe in. (But if we were to get into it, I'd likely argue that's what most mystical or religious groups are about on some level. But let's not get into it :).
