The delightful thing is that a lot of these other mediums are vessels or artifacts of conversation. E.g. events facilitate conversation; podcasts record conversations. Then new conversations can spring out of those! I think that's why we're so fixated on conversations as an activity. It's community DNA.
I'd say community ebbs and flows and you can't really place a number on it. All communities are different and sometimes it's nice to have quiet spells.
Perhaps the most important thing is to listen and for the people to know that they are heard.

Do you have minimum standards for how many hours we should converse with our members daily?
David Spinks said one hour and a half in a day is enough.
What do you think? 🙂
