""Several times in my life I’ve tried to break in with a new social group. […] Pretty quickly I learned that the best and fastest way to join a group is to organize events where we do the group’s core activity. […] there is far more demand for social events and things to do than there is supply. […] I’ve found this true everywhere from niche online fanfiction discussion groups to vanguard intellectual movements directing hundreds of millions of dollars annually.""

@knurd42@social.linux.pizza the previous article on this topic this individual wrote also hits the mark. I make a point of prioritising IRL spaces and communities, because those tend to be more impactful on a lot of levels. Even doing something silly as organising karaoke nights has a long lasting impact.
