Hi all, this is just me exploring ways we could enliven the Perth/Western Australian Community more.

The idea is in the title.

Basically my thought is for casual ongoing conversations throughout the week.

Reasons

I’ve resisted putting this post up for over a year for a couple reasons,

  1. I’s not sure that the Community had a stable number of users to support. Over the last year i actually think, while posting is low, interaction from whatvlooks like Fediverse West Australians seems reasonable, (even if some from other sites don’t like my posts ;) ). I still don’t know if its enough, but looking at the other Community chats its a different sort of interaction than the general posts, so maybe its worth a try.

  2. I don’t really want to be the leader on this. I’m sick of seeing my username so prominently on this Community :p . To be sure, I’m not going to stop posting, but i don’t really want to be the one pushing another thing onto this Community. I also don’t think my style of conversation is particularly suitable or relaxed to start a general chat thread. In saying that, i’d of course participate and support in any way i can.

Thoughts

I’m interested to hear everybodies thoughts on this from WA or further afield.

Particularly from people who might be interested in leading this and any thoughts from the other moderators.

What d’ya think?

    Can’t promise I’d contribute but might spice the place up a bit.

    Also, unrelated but I guess the type of thing I’d add to a weekly thread: Fyi marumo bookings happening Monday the 3rd. If you like getting your hopes up, fancy Japanese food and missing out set a reminder.
