Community Design

“People aren't longing to be impressed; they're longing to feel like they're home. If you create a space full of love and character and creativity and soul, they'll take off their shoes and curl up with gratitude and rest, no matter how small, no matter how undone, no matter how odd.” ― Shauna Niequist

Every great community has value and values. Value, what are members getting out of being a part of the community. Values, a strict code of conduct – explicit and/or implicit, that every member follows to uphold the quality of the community.

Focused on new structures of kinship and uniting people around shared values of empathy and care, community platforms are increasingly integrating wellbeing, sustainability and social justice into their core. 🧵
