How do you propose to do this? Substack brought us together in virtual form. We'd have to meet and then start building communities together in real life.

Yes, exactly, like in any face-to-face relationship - physical contact with people in your area.
Or perhaps, start off with a zoom call of say 20 or 30 people, where we can break the ice and take it from there.
I know there are of course security issues, and some people may be imposters, but this world of ours has to have a certain amount of risk in it for progress to be made in human connections, and nothing we are doing here is unalwful or illegal in any manner or form.
Some people will prefer to remain anonymous/faceless/both, and that's fine as well.
I have never met anyone in my life virtually.
I could never have done dating apps.
I always enjoyed face-to-face.
Part of the problem is fear - and the virtual technology perpetuates the fear and the solitary existence behind a screen/smartphone, but it's never fulfilling, for me I'm saying, because the human contact is absent.

Hi Wolly,

I do believe the concept has some traction.
It's just a suggestion.
I agree. How can this be facilitated?
I can set up the first zoom call.
All I would need, is email addresses, because this is the way the zoom invite works.
My email address is: barryvarkel@gmail.com
Let me know.
PS You can look me up on the internet, I am exactly who I say I am.
I'm saving this page because I'm crashing after a bout of insomnia but I will reach out tomorrow. Thank you.
No worries, have a good sleep : ))
