Launched: Freedom Scale Subscriber Chat

Let's talk!

Good day Freedom Scalers,

I have been meaning to start a subscriber chat for a while now, and today’s the day. Better late than never, right?

As most of you know, I am highly interactive with all subscribers, paid and free, and with anyone else who chooses to comment. Whether it be in Notes or in a comment thread on one of my posts, I believe that talking is how we figure things out.

Now, I want to take our discussion to a new level.

For the time being, I won’t draw any lines around the kinds of discussions we can have. Ask questions. Make suggestions. Talk about anything you like. The sky’s the limit.

I am at your service. Ask me anything.

That said, I don’t want this to be totally me-centric. Meet each other. Talk among yourselves. Converse. Connect. Hang out live, or pose a question and check back later.

As you know, I have been working on some pretty intense stuff over the last half year—including trying to do something that has never really been done before. Your input has been very helpful on that front already, and a collaborative-intelligence discussion forum will help even more. Think of it, at least in part, as a brain-trust for the distributed nation.

For now, only supporting members (paid subscribers) of the Freedom Scale will be able to start threads. (If you truly have some financial hardship such that you cannot afford the $5/month or $50/year, let me know and we can try to work something out.) But I really do need the support in order if I am going to be able to keep doing this.

So if you would like to join—and if you can afford the cost of a meal for two at a diner, once per year—then I am looking forward to seeing you there!

There are only two ways to make changes in a society: persuasion by words or coercion by force of arms. So let’s talk.

Cheers,
Christopher

Here are Substack’s boilerplate instructions on how to get into the chat. These instructions are app-centric, so a browser-user’s pathway may differ. Just let me know if you have any issues.

How to get started

1. Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.

2. Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.

3. That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.

PS: I couldn’t think of a really good image for this post. So here are all the ones I was looking at!
