I appreciate all the thought you put into this, but I’m not sure we should build a new social network because:
1) it’s really hard to build something better than Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter etc. that people will actually use
2) if only some people use it, it may lead to resource diversion and may even do more harm than good. (I generally feel like the EA community is currently spread over too many different platforms which leads to unnecessary duplicating efforts, so I would prioritise getting more people to use the same platform over adding additional platforms)
The EA Forum might be the only platform pretty much everyone uses, and the CEA Online Team is currently adding features like the “community” section and the “events” section. I would ask them if they think it’s worth adding what you described to the forum.
2) We live in this beautiful world because of innovation. Every new idea that were successful improved our life. And life was improved because of innovation happening. I think duplicating efforts is a great thing. The more people diverge and try different things, the more likely something new will be created, and by extension life will be improved.
3) I don’t know concept like this existing. This idea is not proven to work. Almost all new ideas fail. So this has to be proven first before adding to the forum.

Thanks for practical feedback :)
