We’re all obsessed by the buzzword of ‘communities’ — but why is being in them and creating them such a chore? And how to make it fun and sustainable.
“Community” has become the most overused word in tech, culture, and everything in between. Every platform wants one. Every brand claims to have one. And yet — for the people actually trying to build or sustain them — it mostly feels like unpaid admin, awkward silences, and a slow leak of energy. Something is broken in how we think about human togetherness online. This clinic starts from a simple provocation: what if the problem isn’t execution, but the model itself? Sara Polak and Roli Kosa bring their work building DaVinci Space — a platform designed around the science of how humans actually form bonds, at human scale — into a hands-on, honest conversation. No case studies dressed up as blueprints. Instead: a diagnostic for what makes communities collapse, a toolkit for what makes them stick, and space to pressure-test your own situation. If you are building a community, inside one that isn’t working, or simply exhausted by the word, this is for you.
Sara works on the assumption that technological progress fails when it forgets human realities. A proponent of archaeopunk, she uses a mix of archaeology, anthropology and emerging technologies (#ai, #blockchain, #xr etc.) to expose recurring patterns in innovation, collapse, and adaptation.
