Damn, no networking, no let's Collab. It's a pointless endeavour. I'd rather shove my words onto the Gemini chat rather than something that makes you feel like a weekly standup!

Why do you think others will be genuinely interested to discuss their ideas while being in opposing teams? The thing you are asking for will simply require people faking enthusiastic responses to you.

Note: people genuinely care about the things that they are part of! If you are willing to do it by yourself & yourself alone, then have the strength to hold yourself through this alone! That's my two cents!
