Reflections on the evolution of the forum and Discord

Im Moment reitet die Community auf der Welle der Veranstaltung und den verschiedenen Spekulationen darüber, wie das zukünftige Smartphone aussehen wird. Aber ich denke, wir müssen auch an die Nothing-Community denken. Wie werden sich die Seite und der Discord weiterentwickeln? Denn wenn ich vor allem auf Twitter diverse Kommentare lese, will jeder mitmachen. Das ist großartig, aber wir müssen diesen Fluss bewältigen. Auf Discord haben wir beispielsweise die Anzahl der Mitglieder in ⅘ Tagen verdoppelt. Wir haben gerade die 1000-Mitglieder-Marke überschritten, und ich denke, das ist erst der Anfang. Ich eröffne diesen Gedanken, damit wir ihn hier diskutieren können, während wir noch im „kleinen Ausschuss“ sind. * Wird das Site-Forum sparsam geöffnet? * Oder bleibt es bei Einladungen oder Kooptationen „privat“? * Oder bleibt es eine Zeit lang klein, um seine Basis zu stabilisieren, und öffnet sich dann weit? * Werden die Diskussionen hauptsächlich auf Discord stattfinden? * Welche Pläne gibt es für die Weiterentwicklung der beiden Kommunikationseinheiten von Nothing mit der Community? Dies sind nur einige der Fragen, die gestellt werden können, wenn Sie sich engagieren möchten. Ich denke und stelle mir vor, dass dies in den Köpfen der Mitarbeiter durchdacht wurde, aber vielleicht kann dieses Thema einige Ideen und Fragen hervorbringen oder aufwerfen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Teilnahme.

Sib64 Hey Sib,

Some of my thoughts on your points above, based on my current understanding:

Sib64 Will the site-forum be opened sparingly?

Yes - as of right now, the community remains invite-only. Our latest members were either chosen by the PU’s after completing an online survey or cherrypicked from the Discord server. This reflects a commitment to only opening the doors to those who demonstate a good amount of passion and willingness to make meaningful contributions to the community.

In addition, you should expect that anyone who takes part in the upcoming community investment round will likely be offered membership here too.

Sib64 Will the discussions be mainly on Discord?

The aim of the Discord server is to utilize the immediate nature of communication that it facilitates. Short, quick, chatty conversation between users and staff, with the all additional benefits of voice channels, announcements, and handy bots. In contrast, the community forum is all about deep, rich communication, a place for passionate people to slow down and engage in meaningful dialogue.

Sib64 What are the plans for the evolution of Nothing’s 2 communication entities with the community?

I’m sure the great minds at Nothing have this all planned out. There is no doubt that both spaces are going to grow exponentially this year which means we should all expect change. We’re all here to contribute and shape these spaces together, so any thoughts/feelings/opinions shared on how either platform is used are incredibly valuable 🙏

Thank you for your answer Rob and sincerely, the questions I asked, goes exactly in same way with your answers.

Specifically, the main topic raised, is how to address the rise of the two communication entities we have, in a collaborative way with the great minds of Nothing and the “core” members of its communication spaces.

And as you write, and I think the same, hence the creation of this topic, that all ideas good or not so good should be shared so that we can extract the best for the whole.

Hi,
I’ll come back to this part, @Rob ⚡️

Indeed, following the 2nd round of investment, the exponential influx of Investors is going to happen in the next few days, maybe ⅔ weeks.

Rob, you are Head Mods on Discord, with @Kastello , I think you are looking into this with the Mods team and the Staff, especially @Rudi , could you tell us a bit more?

How, even if the forum remains “private”, do you plan to make it evolve?
How will it be organised?
Can you tell us a bit more or not yet?

Thanks for your answer.

Sib64 Hey Sib, it will take a little longer than you are predicting for those members to be invited here. The community funding campaign needs to end first, followed by the cool-off period and finally, an unknown amount of time to process and invite those new investors.

Whilst this space will remain private, you can be sure that other opportunities for new members to join will become apparent, it was never going to be a space ONLY for investors.

Rudi has been working hard to define the evolution of this space - whether he wishes to share his plans, well … that’s his choice!

What is it that you yourself are hoping to see happen here?

Thanks for your reply Rob.

I was very close to deleting my post as I thought it was too early for that and as you say, Rudi is working hard on this project and will reveal it to us, if he wishes of course, in due course.

I have some ideas, but these could only be stated once the evolution of the forum is revealed by Rudi. Some of them might be valid, others might not. Since only the staff knows what the evolution will be.

I know you are all very busy with the investment period that is going on at the moment and I admit that writing this post is inappropriate at this time.

Thank’s Rob for taking the time to respond, I appreciate really.

Sib64 I like this thread. We’ll come back to it in due time. 😉
