Summary
The Unsprawling Forum is now in open alpha! Our features are now publically viewable and search engine indexable, with account creation open to the public.
Perhaps it would be fairer to call it open beta?
We talk about the history of Unsprawling, how our mission evolved from media production to generally creating platforms to connect urban activists. Most of the podcast revolves around various features of our Forum, which you can explore right now, right here!
It became obvious that a forum was inevitable for Unsprawling to achieve its vision. It would be unfair and unwise to demand that everyone join our private, centralized chatroom on a proprietary platform that we have no control to make more accessible.
Discord and Slack are inherently dark web platforms that work for individual communities, but struggle to integrate various communities together, or communicate their vision to the public.
Our Forum will only be successful if people want it to be successful. It will only be valuable if people choose to add value to it. If you’re aligned with our vision to create a more connected, collaborative, and communicated urban activism scene in Calgary, let’s work together!
Lend your skills to our movement the ways that Emma, Jakob, Corbyn, and many other have already done — together, we can create platforms that truly unite and serve the folks working hard to make our city a better place to live.
