What we’re learning and implementing in our continuously improving process, moving forward.
Hello, wonderful person. Remember our Discord community? It hasn’t grown as quickly as we’d hoped, and it’s obvious now why: it wasn’t interesting.

I wanted to share with you a bit about my perspective on social media since its inception in the 90s to 2000s.
