What community organizational structure are you comfortable with? What tradeoffs will you accept between organizational structure and goal satisfaction?
I don’t have any goals that would be well served by joining an authoritarian volunteer community. All my goals are well served by my job or my informal social network.

Everything cousin_it says in this thread assume I said it as well.

Then why are you here at all? Or is LW included in the latter? (It’s actually at the ‘formal group’ end of my social experience, but I may be more abnormal than I think...)
Yeah, LW is included in the latter. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t yet require me to tell others what to do or be told what to do :-) For me it’s a place to hang out with smart people and talk about interesting things, like an intellectual nightclub.

One that doesn’t have bouncers at the door to prevent guys coming in unless they bring chicks with them, to keep the balance...
