It cannot be anything, or it can? I'm not sure I understand clearly, I wanna make sure to be on the same page before I join in on this. Sounds cool so far though.

that cannot is a typo! sorry changed it.

Oh okay, that's a different take on this.
Public criticism sounds scary, nobody is rejecting or accepting anyone. I was just getting to know people, and hoping it helps with consistency to write on.
Yes, the typo thing, sorry about it if it bothers you too much. I don't want to copy the entire thing again and edit a single not (might be client I'm using, it just let me to replace the text rather than edit it)
31 is just a number of days to write about something, and yes, it could be 10, 20, 40.

I re-read your post and realized I misunderstood it, so I took down my comment! I think 'take a jab at what we think of each other' triggered me a bit.
I think what you want is a 'writer's club' of sorts? That is not a bad idea.
Since you intend to write daily here, here is a hint for fixing errors. The editor will accept multiple paragraphs, but when you re-edit, only the last one will be sucked in when you 'paste previous line'.
Since your original post has multiple paragraphs, first split it so that BBS editor can address each one individually. Edit your original post, select Move/Actions, and enter S -- to split. Once your paragraphs are separated, choose the one with the typo and now you can edit it. Choose 'Replace text', then 'Paste Previous Line' and voila.

No issues, I didn't take it other way around or offensive :)
Thanks for spliting up tip, should be alright now.

The best way (at least for me) to write here: start a new comment or post, enter a backslash, which puts me in draft mode. Add paragraphs one at a time (since there is a size limit). Edit as needed. When finished, select 'preview' and 'publish'. Once comfortable, you can type in multiple paragraphs and split them if needed later...

You should probably start a subspace to contain your experiment...

It sounds like a fun idea

@hisacro Lagrange lets you edit things without recopying when you enable Titan mode on BBS. It's definitely a major improvement.

I’m interested in joining. Maybe we could do it for the month of June. Give us time to figure out the exact details. I know it is a bit silly, but I like to do challenges for exact calendar months.

Original Post
A social experiment on getting to know people on gemini — Here's an idea, we write about something we are comming across on life/cyberspace/minds for a next 31 days. It can be anything, a single word, a single line each some blank dashes. At the end of the 31 days, we take a jab about what we think of other. The idea is to build a fun little group of 3-5 people, you know the go to cyberspace gang to chill out. You can either put your homepage here now or ping when you feel like. The only...
