I worry sometimes about the impression (sad? desperate?) my "I'm in city X, does any mutual want to meet up?" make.

But hey: I am building my village. A village makes me happy.

My villages have always been digital. The geographic neighbors are there by chance and they will disappear when one moves.

The digital village? It's still here. From 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago. We spend days walking Berlin or London. They stay in my guest room. And it starts with: I'm in city X, do you want to meet?

@vicgrinberg Absolutely don't worry about it! The worst outcome is only silence, and the best outcome is meeting and chatting with people in a cool new city. Win-win in my books!

@vicgrinberg

I don't think you should be concerned. You're doing what interests you and that's what's important.

Go Digital Village Building!

It's a lovely thing to do. 👍

@vicgrinberg I think it's great. Although personally, every time I've asked that question I've been met with silence 😂

@skribe that also happens! Which is fine - there may be no folks in a given city or ppl may not have the time on that particular day. I'm going to try again next time.

@vicgrinberg I think those kinds of posts are also made by people who are extremely confident and successful.

@Loukas so am I (because I definitely don't count myself into this group 😅 But I am also aware that I do have a certain visibility and success and that's partially the reason to speak about stuff like this.)

@mina Thanks ...? :)

@vicgrinberg

I meant it friendly.

@vicgrinberg@mastodon.social avatar

@mina that's also how I understood it, apologies if it came over wrong. Online and nuance ...

@vicgrinberg

The nice thing about one's own digital village (bubble) is:

You know your people and occasional misunderstandings don't lead to bad blood, right?

@mina yes 💚
