I think all of life, collectives included, are very fluid. sometimes a collective is organized AROUND an idea (“a book club for charlottes web”, “more passive”) and sometimes a collective organizes THE IDEA (a political party or some other ‘producer’ of material (including intellectual material) (“more active”)
I envision this platform allowing both of these types of groups to exist and commingle.
One example that I think of is like you and your group of friends from an irl situation. There’s not really anything *in particular* you may want to chat about, but the “idea” that is being produced by this collective is the friendship itself (maybe they’ll name themselves a silly name as a type in the platform)
I imagine a lot of uses will be this type of thing (especially related to content creators or other “more social” realms) which encompasses a ton of types of people, from research to activists to game clans to creator plurs and more.
I agree with the ask being kind of conservative. Originally the numbers were a lot higher but some said it came off as intimidating, so I “changed the scope” to just get the initial MVP. Another funding round will likely be needed as we are moving from MVP to scaling users
