Note: their definition of “community” is quite problematic in many ways…

    The very act of providing space and resources means that it didn’t create itself.

    There are rare exceptions where the community came first and they managed to acquire the space and resources later, but most of these places were quite intentionally set up to foster a community around them.

      @poVoq
      That’s not how i3Detroit started. It began with a group having an idea and making it happen.
      You seem to assume that they couldn’t achieve something unless someone gave them a handout. The commercial makerspaces showed up later.
      Expecting them to create without resources is like expecting a crop without planting seeds.

        I explicitly said that there are rare exceptions 🤷‍♂️ And no one even mentioned commercial makerspaces.

        Please don’t assume that others assume things they neither said nor implied.
