If [you take] a look at how APLers communicate when they have ideas, you see code all the time, all day long. The APL community is the only one I’ve seen that regularly can write complete code and talk about it fluently on a whiteboard between humans without hand waving. Even my beloved Scheme programming language cannot boast this. When working with humans on a programming task, almost no one uses their programming languages that primary communication method between themselves and other humans outside of the presence of a computer. That signals to me that they are not, in fact, natural, expedient tools for communicating ideas to other humans. The best practices utilized in most programming languages are, instead, attempts to ameliorate the situation to make the code as tractable and as manageable as possible, but they do not, primarily, represent a demonstration of the naturalness of those languages to human communication. — aaron hsu

@adi @prologic@twtxt.net One reservation about using it with a small community would be the expectation that the discussions at some level stay within the circle as opposed to the internet at large.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it… . An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

The fundamental problem of communication is that of reproducing at one point either exactly or approximately a message selected at another point. — Claude Shannon, 1948 A brief introduction to the beauty of Information Theory

Dynamics of online communities — https://dbohdan.com/online-communities

In Internet culture, the 1% rule is a rule of thumb pertaining to participation in an internet community, stating that only 1% of the users of a website add content, while the other 99% of the participants only lurk. 1% rule (Internet culture) - Wikipedia)

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I like it. You could optionally segment these lists somehow. It reminds me of how Mastodon instances represent a community of sorts. e.g. weare.txt
