The discussions themselves don’t bother me, it’s more that I fear the dynamic where devoting energy to community-building becomes a self-perpetuating runaway process that distorts or steals the oxygen from everything else. I know there’s a point where that happens, but I have no idea where the threshold is.
That said, my best guess is that treating these ritual sessions as a special case of meetups is relatively harmless.
The most honest answer is that I don’t know.

Thank you for the input.
