"Community" is this interesting notion. A word that is all too often too easily and hand-wavingly applied, without a clear conception of what it entails and the different expectations people have wrt their own role, commitments, and level of participation.

A group of people must give meaning to the word explicitly, to be able to form the community they want and need, and can subsequently uphold, sustain, and evolve it. This is almost never addressed properly, and where due attention to governance is given, the nature of the (usually top-down) governance model is such, that they only work up to a certain scale without getting serious issues around power dynamics. You see large-scale orgs getting into drama's or move into very formal governance, adopting models from the corporate world.

https://coding.social focuses on formation of overarching chaordic organization that fits smaller organizational structures, like communities, at healthy sustainable scales.
