I like to advocate for a pragmatic use of Roam, because the tool itself is fundamentally useful, and what you can learn from the tool you can apply to your own endeavours (or other tools/fields, the world is yours!)
But some of these mistakes could have been avoided eg. applying well-intentioned barriers to create a healthy discussion didn't have to include a massive ban spree w/o explanation
Friends and fans were hurt in the process and that's going to make this event emotionally charging
All will be well if mistakes are confronted with humility and execution.
Healthy roaming guys

I wonder if Reddit as a platform’s the cause hmm…may want to explore works on open/closed communities with varying levels of governance in the future for personal research
There was going to be some time when I want to dedicate a % of exploring my notes to memory palaces, markers and more, sharing experiences I’ve had with clients and seeing them grow their palaces
Now may be a good time to do so!
Related to this, if anyone has any questions on the craft (speed reading, memory palaces, and information processing) I’m here to help out!
Do knowledge workers do something like 'collective thinking sessions'?
eg. A 2 hour session where you have an agenda for discussion/thinking a topic:
First 30m: Discussing potential questions, fallbacks, etc.
1hr: deep thinking work in silence
Last 30m: Discussion and review
I would think this format works really well, especially in CKM environments which is what Roam is advocating for (the digital version of this session)
(currently thinking of more ways to get into that environment where I'm compelled to naturally deep dive into topics etc.)
I'm under the firm belief that with proper controlled conditions, you can broaden angles in thinking about something depending on number of people involved:
Solo in private: chaotic freedom
Collective sessions: Conversational insight
Thinking in public: According to the world
