In the above experiments, the most difficult part wasn’t coding these services. The challenge was content creation and communication work required to encourage the participation of community members. Content is, of course, what drives most platforms, and building a space where local content can be showcased is key for enabling a community-first experience.
It’s challenging to have people produce content for their neighbors instead of a wide general audience. It’s much more personal.
- Note: the internet is nothing without the content we give it — how can we elevate our “content” to the poetics that they are rater than machine/algorithm fodder that they are perceived as?
