arethinnInterconnected though they might be and although they were now communicating and aware of each other in new ways, they began to realize that to truly be a town they had to build it together. Communication by itself was not sufficient for community. A level of mutual participation, caring, and co-creativity was also required. For the town was more than just a collection of houses and neighborhoods; it was a collaborative creation, a shared consciousness and identity.(https://lorian.org/community/2021/6/30/davids-desk-170-summer-thoughts, emphasis mine)
This, I think, is at least some part of why otherkind are not "a community". Perhaps we once were, but I think it's not been that way for quite some time now.
Your thoughts?
