There is a personal side to this as well. I have been trying "to find the others" but there is no online platform that supports what I have in mind, at least I have not found one. The closest to my vision are dating sites but they are for people looking for romantic and sexual connections. I am looking for something that would facilitate connections for many other purposes. There are many people, like me, very critical of facebook and looking for a better and different alternative. Discord has emerged but it too does not meet my needs. Mighty Networks seems to be growing rapidly but it too lacks the features I am looking for. There is now growing discussion in the Game B community about building new platforms but I am not active in those areas. My interest is only as a user and I have no skills in the area of development. I do sense that there is a lot of energy out there for something new.
