Community is all you need (1) Online Community > Tribes In the summer before college, I got on my future university bbs, registered an account. All of a sudden, I got connected w/ hundreds of ppl in my future school via a desktop computer & a dial-up modem. People w/ shared interest connect w/ each other regardless of their physical location, that's why online community are more powerful than tribes. Onchain community > Online community Fast forward to today, a more powerful community format, is onchain. People in an online community shares access to digital information 24/7 & location independent; People in an onchain community share a lot more on top of online information access: voting, payment, value distribution. When I travel & met a fellow eth builder, I know we have a lot more in common than my next door neighbor.

AI summary of the linked article

This is an opinion piece arguing that onchain communities are more powerful than online communities, which in turn are more powerful than traditional tribes. The author describes joining a future university's bulletin board over a dial-up modem before college and suddenly connecting with hundreds of people, and argues that people with shared interests connect regardless of physical location. The piece says onchain communities add shared voting, payment and value distribution on top of shared access to online information, and says a fellow Ethereum builder met while traveling has more in common than a next-door neighbor.

Some feedback for writing a full essay on this:

Online Community > Tribes

I actually would like you to prove this statement for me when you make it. But in your cast, for example, you didn't and so that left me a bit unsatisfied.

Re your title: "Community is all you need"

Same as above, when I read the post, I'd want the intro to sell me on that idea, the main part to convince me of the idea, and the conclusion to summarize everything.

@casslin, let me know if this type of feedback was helpful!

This is very helpful! I tried to write it as concise as possible due to long cast character limits. Now i know what's missing from reader's perspective, will expand on those a bit in my later writing! (this is part of the 1stdraft club so im writing on this topic for 4 weeks in a row, and hope to make it a complete essay in the end.)
