Wandering Adventure Party

@atomicpoet wtaf (og post) about sex with women comment

Idk if i should be googling what’s down the rabbit hole

@boris thanks so much Boris! Yeah if that's a viable option, prefer to build and govern ahead; appreciate your advice on hyphacoop!

I know the moderation and community support will be the toughest portion so thanks for the heads up.

@atomicpoet taking this into consideration plus the 9 foundational members we have to put us in the black, do you think we can go ahead as a co-op or 1st build then evolve into a coop?

@atomicpoet But somebody is looking! You've not only left a mark on me, you also influenced my writing, I'm more confident to express online now!

Following your work since we met online in 2023 (thanks to Sal, when you introduced a meetup group remotely to fedi).

I followed you here (since then) and enjoyed reading what you post coz it helped me think critically while learning new things!

I wanted my writing to impact people but i wasn't sure about my voice yet so I just kept reading YOUR posts, trying to figure out what made it so compelling!

Observing what resonated and why your style of posting works helped me determine what was working was that you were being your full uncensored self which made you authentic!

So there might be more people like me, lurking and watching what you post until they feel ready to ask to hop on a call with you (like me) LOL.

Each trying to find their own voice until they were ready to finally ask for your time.

Thank you for advising me on what to write and how!

Today's #FediverseClub #IRLCoffeeChat was fun!

1st meeting of the #ThirdSpace that is #FediCollective

#PeerTube #cooperative presentation by the scintillating but very human kind Chris Trottier was well-received!

Love connecting face to face with builders, founders, creatives to talk about our experiences,

Pooling together our expertise, skills, and available solutions toward inclusion and diversity in the #OpenWeb helps #fedi become a wonderful place we co-create!

@atomicpoet i look forward to this! For organization and searchability, in case i miss a post, will u be using a specific hashtag?

@atomicpoet thanks for sharing about the book & concept of mass men.

What's wonderful (and antithesis to the Cybertruck's shock value and hideous looks) is the Porsche 911, which balances performance with aesthetic coherence developed over decades of refinement!

My takeaway from learning about this is genuine excellence, thoughtful design, and authentic human connection is possible when we are being respectful and kind to all.

Which also raisesCritical Questions for #FediCollective and #PeerTube co-op like

1. How do we build businesses that serve mass markets without adopting mass man values?

2. Can technology be designed to elevate rather than reduce human experience?

3. What's the entrepreneur's responsibility to resist the race to the bottom in taste and standards?

@atomicpoet I only knew Philistines as meaning from bible studies (raised Christian, i'm non-practicing). It's very narrow-minded to be that today!

It's a very fitting label for the people who also dislike literature and music too (as apparently creative writing and some forms of music, according to them, serve no use other than "entertainment")

@atomicpoet did u enjoy it tho or play any games there? The food is ok depending on what u order

Went on a Friday evening & couldn’t stay coz it was noisy AF, crowded, cigarette-smoky inside!

Returned on a weekend after they “just opened” and it was pristine and more fun like family friendlier vibe at the dining area and just a lighter mood

@atomicpoet ooh who are these women and where can I observe them?

I’m bi so when interested in a man, I purposely don’t do eye contact (ensuring only those interested will come to me after they observed me) but also eliminating those who cannot speak to approach!

I never chase men so this strategy has consistent worked on all previous partners (ex hubby included)

When interested in a woman (bi or les), i do friendly eye contact so they come to talk to me or vice versa!

Here’s your invite ️

For the 1st #FediCollective, let’s discuss #ethicalAI after @atomicpoet’s PeerTube intro

CW /TW: He never comes home (full info in article linked)

FediCollective: Build the Open Web Together

IRL Monthly Meetup with Crissy & the FediCommunity

Why
This is a unique opportunity to break out of your silo and get a fresh perspective on your work. The problems we face today — from AI ethics to sustainable design— are too complex for any one discipline to solve alone. This is where truly groundbreaking ideas begin.

Join us for our next Brew & Build day. Let's create something meaningful together.

#FediCollective is a direct result of @reiver 's #FediCon2025 so I am grateful for him letting this creative (me) help organize there coz i met soooo many wonderful persons (IRL that I only knew online) who are helping create the future of safer, more inclusive #OpenWeb #fedi #fediverse

@atomicpoet is interested in forming a #PeerTube COOP so please join us at the 1st IRL event in September so we can work on a solution for how to make it more accessible

3rd Space Philosophy: Brew & Build days. Neutral ground for collaboration, outside of the confines of your home office or work. It's a leveling ground where job titles don't matter, and the main currency is genuine conversation and a shared passion for building a better digital world.

Who
a. Creatives: Marketing professionals, UX/UI designers, artists, writers, and anyone who excels at empathy and visual storytelling

b. Data Folx: Developers, data scientists, product managers, and scholars who bring logic, analysis, and a structured approach to problem-solving

What
1. Informal Connection: Meet like-minded people over coffee, tea, and casual conversation

2. Collaborative Brainstorming: Bring a problem you're working on or an idea you're excited about. Get feedback and fresh perspectives from people with different skill sets

3. Project Incubation: Find collaborators for new projects, or get help with a current one. The goal is to mingle and organically form teams to bring forth novel solutions

As a creative and #designer, I've always felt a gap between my world and the world of data and development. We need a place where those two sides can come together to create truly novel solutions.

That's why I'm starting Brew & Build days with FediCollective! It’s a low-pressure third space: think coffee shop, not conference room where creatives and data folks can mingle, share ideas, and organically form teams.

The ultimate goal is to fuse the empathy of creative design with the rigor of data science to build the next generation of social platforms. It's about building a better internet, one coffee and brilliant conversation at a time.

Brew & Build: A #FediCollective #ThirdSpace
An informal, low-pressure gathering for professionals to connect, share ideas, and build the future of the internet. This is a community for innovators who believe in bridging the gap between creativity and #DataScience. #BrewBuild #CoffeeWithCrissy

Are you 1. Vancouver-local and 2. interested in joining a Cooperative RE: peertube?

@atomicpoet and I had a brief chat on how this is what we need to address (i.e. how expensive it is to run a peeertube server and what can we do about it) about during the 1st #FediCollective #coffeechat in YVR ️

Deets to be announced for an #IRL #meetup in September! #peertubeCOOP

Shoutout to #FediCon2025 for finally meeting Chris IRL so thanks @reiver
