So it's kind of like maybe a bicycle wheel hub and spoke, where somebody is putting out a question, like I am now, and a bunch of people are individually responding, but it doesn't sound like a group discussion. But then maybe there's other conversations I've heard where it is a group, and people will say, yeah, Mike. Yeah, Linda. That was amazing. And maybe responding to multiple people in the group. Honestly, I prefer the community conversation
And you can do all of the quote unquote right things, but if everybody else isn't on board, you still may not get exactly what you're looking before. I'm thinking more specifically the kind of conversation that's more of a group sitting in a circle. And now I've left you a reply that's nearly five minutes long with lots of different points. And now if we were to do this live, it would be very different, but now this requires different ways of interacting with it

Hey, Gary, I think this is a very interesting question. Very interesting. Swell. You know, when I initially got on swell, I thought, okay, it's a one to one conversation. But then, like you said, this is broadcast to everyone, so everyone hears everything that we say, even people off of swell, if they go to the website. But the one thing that I do like about swell is it also gives you the option to create a group

I do like to go into the convo with a take that no one had prior that completely brings the convo in a different direction. And I do find if I listen to too much people's stuff and then I respond, it's going to be like variations of what they said. Now, it could be very well true that I happen to reach that same conclusion regardless, but it's still something I kind of prefer to do. So I have done the group community thing before

You. So for me, it depends on how this well is going. It depends on the topic and what the people are talking about. There has been times where I've responded to individual people within this well because they just have like, you know, more engaging or situation that I could relate to. And then there are times where I just respond after I've listened to the thread. Then I'll respond with my opinion per se

Yeah, I guess usually I'm very hopeful that everybody can listen to everyone and respond back to everyone. And I always imagine the ideal kind of conversation is like, you know, let's go to a gymnasium, sit in a circle, put chairs around in a circular configuration, and sit down and talk in a circle. But it's not always like that. It's not always like that. And that's great, and that's fine. And, yeah, I like the app

Hey, MJ here. I think that it's kind of just a general conversation, sort of as if there were people in an elevator, right? And one person says something and someone replies to it and someone else doesn't reply to it because maybe they feel like they don't want to participate in that discussion. So maybe they came and listened, but didn't say anything, whereas, you know, someone else may have something to say
