[gelöscht] I completely agree with you about the “global” description. And I do feel this Community is the world under a microscope. A concentrated melting pot of thoughts and needs.
You know, Puscifer has a song called “Simultaneous” where it’s mentioned something that can be applied to this - and or any - Community:
“We will never know world peace, until three people can simultaneously look each other straight in the eye”.
A company launches a product and the feedback is out of their hands, it becomes external. They cannot control it. What they can do is foster a selected group of individuals that are willing to “simultaneously look each other straight in the eye”, and respect the opinion of a mind other than their own.
It’s exactly what you mentioned, “different backgrounds and cultures” can and should be part of a better, more informed vision of the potential of a product. We are contributing to something that only gets better if the choir has more individuals and more diversified voices.
Betas should be a collection of points of view that better prepare something for mass consumption. The more of that mass is represented in the first line of assertiveness, the better will be the shape of any given product.
