Contemplating whether Skool is the right place for BBS
You may or may not be aware of some drama that happened the last few days whereby communities were moved categories without warning. Personally I have no interest in Skool games etc but this whole thing has highlighted just how hustle culture centred the Skool platform actually is. I saw it from day 1 the gamification, the focus on income, the owners of large communities being idolised and called visionaries for teaching the most basic ass things. I thought I could ignore it all and just build my community my own way. But the last month or so with features changing and big changes being brought in without consulting paying members has reminded me that we don’t actually own these communities, we have no control over what happens here just like on social platforms. So now I am left wondering if Skool is a safe place for BBS or should it be moved to a platform I can control? So my question to you is: If I moved everything to be available elsewhere and you could access the Saturday drops via direct email or by signing into an account on my website (community space still available there for those who want it) would you still want to take part?
