Hey folks! Let's chat about the critical differences between building a true community and just having social media accounts. 

Creating a social media presence is really about pushing content out to an audience and hoping it sticks. You put something out there, cross your fingers for likes/shares, and it's kind of a one-way transactional thing. 

But cultivating an actual community? That's a whole different ballgame. It's about facilitating continuous conversation and connection. It's not a feedback loop but a space for people to develop genuine relationships, learn from each other, and grow together through exchanging ideas.

Don't get me wrong, you can certainly foster community on social media to some degree. However, community building has to be the core intention from the start. It's not just about sharing stuff - it's about purposefully creating that space for your people to engage substantively.

That's where a dedicated community platform like Bevy comes in handy. With Bevy, you're housing your community all in one place instead of being yet another drop in the endless social media feed vacuum. No algorithms controlling who sees what - just your members receiving your messages directly because they explicitly opted in to be part of YOUR community.

The people in your Bevy community want to be there. They're not just passive spectators being served content at random. They joined intentionally because they resonate with your mission, offerings, or whatever brings you all together.

So, while social media has its place in the marketing/promotion realm, nurturing a true community requires focus and intention. And having a platform built specifically for that purpose makes all the difference.

What has your experience been like building a community versus pushing social media content?

Where has Bevy enabled you to cultivate better the types of genuine connection and engagement that true community is all about?
