I moved to a new city. Knew no one. But there was a cute, little, family-owned Italian restaurant across the street from my house. For months, I went there every Friday night at 8PM. Always ate at the bar. Became a regular. Eventually met the owner. She introduced me to her friends. The rest is history!

The worst part is when it fails and you're stuck in Groundhog Day, repeating the same interactions and nothing is being built upon.

I enjoy going to Latin dance socials. You learn something new and it’s low stakes interactions

I also think that shared low-stake projects help a lot.

This is exactly why we should build local social life in our neighborhoods! These are the people you will naturally see in an unplanned low stakes setting!

Creduc 🇪🇺 🇩🇪 :
The irony is that we all have that. On our couches, in our hands. The reason why early Twitter felt so vibrant was the fact that many were curious about the people around them, so a lot of postings became regular low-stake interactions. These people have become incredibly rare, though. We could still treat posts and chat messages like this. But now it's mostly outrage, ragebait, trolling, curated content, brand deals, venting, replaceable For You feeds, doomscrolling and overwhelm.
