Why:
WonderPlace Alpha is like a large block party where you can finally get to meet your neighbors. Your neighbors in interests and style. This work comes naturally to the extraverts. Introverts are helped to meet people when there is some known thing in common. That’s one thing the social media algorithm is good at – low key pairing up people by interests.
Nowadays people use their phones to augment reality and feel engaged. We’re trying to bring some of that to WonderPlace Alpha through a stream of interesting pictures and tags, maybe a chat area for people while there, ways to reach out to each other without the permanence of giving out digits/emails.
This discord channel has strengthened bonds and introduced new friendships. We could open a public channel to ticket holders and see what that leads to for those who are interested. I’ve been watching experienced vendors graciously teach new vendors hard-learned tricks. I’ve seen how popular it is to post fur babies. But those posts age out and who’s going to scroll through 3 days of chatter?
Make yourself approachable by listing some interests in the Wanderers section. Add snaps of your wares, your furBabies or kids, the things you like to collect. Post your face so others will know who you are.
For example (and thanks, Regina, great job!):
Please help make this a vibrant experiment by adding something to the stream!
