All of us are part of one community or other. There are communities all around us, which might be consisting of friends, our families, our employment, our neighborhood, and so many other places. 

We have communities for our favorite stars or sports teams or even the food that we like. We have groups of people that we hang out with for dinner or for playing a game or something like that. 

Having a sense of community unites us.

Being a part of a community can make us feel as though we are a part of something greater than ourselves. It can provide us opportunities to connect with people, to reach for our goals, and make us feel safe and secure.

It is important for every person to have a sense of community. Let's understand, what are the benefits of being a part of a community:

1. A strong community can greatly benefit families and businesses in several ways.
2. As we grow older, communities can provide a platform to exchange experiences or even help members in living sustainable life.
3. We are a part of a group of people who want to help each other, whether that is socially or professionally.
4. A strong community can help your small business by shopping locally and choosing your services over an enterprise.
5. A community can also help with your home care, by providing expert services if required.
6. A strong community provides an environment of safety & security. You should feel secure in your own neighborhood, city, or town, and you should also have a feeling of your community members are looking out for you.

So, what is a community?

A community is a group of individuals connected to each other by one or more attributes. The reason that links them together is at the core and is the essence of the group. 

Therefore, one can say, members of the community have a common goal.

How have communities evolved?

• There was a time when people wanted to connect with each other and the only way was to join some activity club in old days before the advent of social media networks.
• Then came the Social Media Networks, which started brilliantly, but as time flew by, they lost the essence of belongingness and connection.

Social Media Networks have become a place to market. No one wants to listen to anyone. We just want to speak. 

Initially, everything was going fine. I remember creating several groups and communities with a purpose on some social media networks. As group members, we used to post informative articles, blogs, and several educational series free of cost. 

Members used to like, comment on articles, blogs, etc, and one of the most important things, they used to read the content shared by other community members.

But after Digital Marketing started peeking in, there were advertisements, banners, and several other sponsored posts all around the groups and communities.

Most of the time we were discussing advertisements and sponsored posts, rather than indulging in knowledgeable tasks.

It became worst when we were not able to identify normal posts from sponsored posts. We had an education community, and hence we were targeted with education-related advertisements. This is actually spamming.

Big enterprises forget the reason, why they started a community-based project on the first side. As organizations become huge, they start selling data to marketing firms, which start posting content that is related to the interests of people in that community.

Organizations have also divided the "World Citizenship", which social media networks used to provide. People around the world used to feel connected. There was something for everyone. 

When we used to search for something, we used to explore things from all around the world. Now, big enterprises have algorithms in their social media networks, which restrict the number of people your content can reach.

That's why they promote paid sponsorships. And you used to think, why my article is not getting more than a few 100 likes.

Observe this: Whenever you are going to post something for the first time, e.g., a reel, or a YouTube small video, you will surely get 4k views. But your second video or image or content will have only a few hundred views. I bet, try it and you will understand.

This is because they want you all to think, you can also get a million likes without sponsored advertisements, but the reality is that their algorithms actually block your content to some extent after your first trial.

Your content is restricted as per location, demography, political influence, and several other things that you won't understand. This is the reason why you used to connect with several people around the world, but now you only connect with people from your locality.

These big enterprises have stranded you all in your immediate neighborhood. You cannot explore even a single fly without their approval.

What is the solution?

There is only one solution to this issue - a Social Network or a Community, that is unbiased and has minimal advertisements.

Also, those advertisements should not be targeted. This is because we want people to explore, what is happening around the world. 

You are not a frog in a well, are you?

Where can we find a Social Network like that?

Well, you are reading this article on the same. Some people will say we are promoting our social networking website. That is absolutely correct. 

But before judging a book by its cover, please read what is written inside.

Check the contents of this website. Open it on your laptop and mobile, and you will be able to observe the difference yourself.

Why is this Social Networking Site Different?

There are several reasons, why this website is different than any other social media network out there. I will try to sum all the things in below points;

1. This is a community and not only a social media network.
2. Members can connect with each other and suggest changes in this platform.
3. This community is dedicated to providing knowledge content around the world.
4. We have a community of professionals, that are passionate about what they do.
5. Every content that is shared, is open for a view across the globe (We are not a localized community, we are a global community).
6. Each published article is checked for its originality and quality by our editors and moderators.

Benefits of joining this community:

1. You get a purpose to live for.
2. You become resourceful for several people around the world.
3. You receive points (our internal currency) for every blog or article that you write (after quality-check).
4. Your content is not restricted on the basis of location, demography, or political influence.
5. There is only one designated area for advertisement, which is manually operated and is used for community advertising and benefits.
6. You build your community for actual purposes and not for marketing something online.
7. You get opportunity to meet people around the world without any restrictions.
8. Articles that you write are not governed by an algorithm, which demands some SEO. Blogs or Articles are searchable using keywords. Hence, you get to explore, what is happening around the world.
