Slow social media

quote [ Something like 300 friends sounds right. Any more than that and you're a collector, and not using the platform to foster connection.

This feature alone already removes 90% of the marketing interests in the platform. ]

A common experience in many projects I encounter is this: no matter how flexible and lean you build these tools, it always ends up being a communication and care job, regardless of platforms or even media.
But then again you can always ask for help inside of these groups, people can fill a surprising depth of roles.
