I’ve seen a few spouts and comments from people suggesting that they might need permission to jump in on shenanigans.

I have thoughts.

You’re wrong, let me tell you why.

(I’ve been told ⬆️ is the best way to build consensus)

As the imaginary and absolutely self-appointed regent of Canadian Spoutible, I feel that I can confidently say that nonsense is always better when more people are in on it.

Sharing experiences creates a community.

On Twitter and other grim corners of the internet, people team up with likeminded people and scream themselves hoarse at the other side.

They form squads.
Us vs. Them.

But this isn’t Twitter.

So if we’re not fighting with each other, how do we build a community that not only survives, but thrives.

We build a community by sharing.

Jokes, recipes, thoughts, art, nonsense, whatever you like.

And we do it by participating.

Everyone is going to have their own level of comfort with participating.

Maybe that’s just smashing the like button or maybe you’re more of a prolific echoer.

That’s awesome.

The dopamine hits you provide are essential.

But maybe you really want to play along.

So why aren’t you? What’s the concern?

I’d like to remind you of something.

Nothing that you see on the timeline or in the comments is private. It’s all there for you to see and react to.

Maybe you didn’t see the start or you don’t understand the backstory.

You can ask, it’s okay.

Best case/likely scenario is that someone explains it.

Worst case is someone saying “Are you new here?”

They’re probably joking so don’t block them right away.

But what if I say something that they think isn’t funny or interesting?

To that I say, so what?

You’ll either get no reaction or a courtesy like. That’s not the end of the world.

Better luck next time, please try again. Seriously.

Well they’re being weird, they could have just scrolled on by.

What if you mess up and say something that offends someone?

Did you mean to? Not cool.

Did you not mean to? Apologize and delete if necessary.

It’ll be okay.

Jokes and nonsense are for everyone.

If you have something silly to add, please do.

People might run with it, they might not.

But you put yourself out there and that’s a cool thing to do.

Things get sillier and wilder as more people participate.

The tangents are often the best part and at the end of the day, fun was had and the sense of community was reinforced.

So please know that if you ever see something like #MicrowavingFish or #GrapesAreCommunist making waves, that’s where you are welcome to be silly and loud, and to take up space.

And if the shenanigans you want to jump in on are Canadian in origin, I can confidently say that we would love it if you played along.

You can sit with us anytime.

I am havingbrain freeze regarding name of Tv series about Canadian redneck family? It is on Hulu, pretty sure. Many seasons, so should be well known, please.
