Dark Forest Spaces
Description
Yancey Strickler and Joshua Citarella:
- "Dark forest spaces are a stack, not a singular product (so far).
Today there’s no full-stack product that provides the dark forest experience. Instead people chain together a set of tools: a group chat, an external communication channel, a shared brain, and some way for people to pay. No single product integrates these into one place. That will change.
- Dark forest spaces are closed and have rules about who can join them.
What makes dark forest spaces distinct from the rest of the web is that they’re not default-open. That makes it possible to have more sensitive conversations away from unwanted eyes. Some might call this exclusive, others might see it as curating a space for the most-invested people. In that sense dark forests are closer to the physical world, where not everyone is invited to everything, than the digital world, where we assume that we are."
