Community: Doing the things together.

And you can't have community if people don't step to the plate if things need done.

@smallcircles Yes to the second thing, but no to the first. A group of people that do things together is a club. Or possibly a company. Communities have durable connections and shared fortunes with each other.

@jenniferplusplus I agree. In the first toot I aimed more at a meaning of "Stepping to the plate together".

In my specific definition a community is durable, self-contained and sustainable. It includes everyone that upholds it, does the chores.

I think there's no universal definition of community. And that there's value to explicitly consider its definition in particular contexts, so you know better what to expect.

@smallcircles Slowly, one by one, we are discovering that societal collapse is far different from "progress." Maybe not the inverse, but different from what we were used to and perhaps hard to adjust to.
