Here’s an idea: what if there was a virtual water cooler for LessWrong?
There’d be Zoom chats with three people per chat. Each chat is a virtual water cooler.
The user journey would begin by the user expressing that they’d like to join a virtual water cooler.
Once they do, they’d be invited to join one.
I think it’d make sense to restrict access to users based on karma. Maybe only 100+ karma users are allowed.
To start, that could be it. In the future you could do some investigation into things like how many people there should be per chat.
Seems like an experiment that is both cheap and worthwhile.
If there is interest I’d be happy to create a MVP.
(Related: it could be interesting to abstract this and build a sort of “virtual water cooler platform builder” such that eg. LessWrong could use the builder to build a virtual water cooler platform for LessWrong and OtherCommunity could use the builder to build a virtual water cooler platform for their community.)

Personally I think this would be pretty cool!
