Commune Living

[SAULGOODiE]

Can any residents provide me with any leads regarding Commune Living? I have been involved in multiple attempts at communes in SL in the past and none have quite come to fruition as I hoped they would. No long-winded answers, please, I am quite understanding that communal living is difficult in RL just as much in SL and therefore is not incredibly popular, I am simply looking for some info if anyone know's a functioning open-door community. Thanks ahed of time.

I have not lived here, nor do I know if they have any availability. Worth looking into perhaps.

Oh I should add, this is my favorite social place to hang out. Lots of really good people and conversations.

owning or renting a land or place in sl is the same as having your own website or webpage. So sharing a place in sl is like having a website owned by 2 owners with different intention. Why not just rent your own place? rental adjustments in sl is very common especially in residential themed sims.

In one sense, anyone who is living on the Mainland is living in a commune whether they want to or not! This can be...interesting.

 

There are some very old communities in Second Life of furries and elves and Gor that have had these collective experiments for years. But you have to fit into the lifestyle/belief system and not everyone wants that level of RP.

I know there's a hippie commune or two of some sort but I'm not sure how rigid it is, despite claims of hippie-ness.

There was an educational community called Chilbo that worked well for awhile but I'm not sure it exists anymore.

One thing that is very hard to do is get people to keep contributing tier month after month in a group. This almost always ends in tears. That's my experience. One person shoulders the load despite it being "a commune."

I guess it's like many things in life, if people don't already come together on their own naturally for a shared purpose, it's hard to make them come together. So you know all that and I would have to say -- try to start something and see who shows up.

For the OP: Nalytha's SLURL is to Commune Utopia. I hadn't realized it had moved to Lagrange Point. Nalytha's right ... it's a good place. For that matter, the entire region is a good place.

I just realized I might have misunderstood the question. I thought you were looking for places but I'm wondering if instead you were looking for a discussion because you are thinking of starting your own?

TY Everyone for suggestions and comments :heart:

If you want to cut to the chase because long winded answers are too hard:

1. hippies smell bad

2. hippies suck at paying for things

So these communes usually have a short lifespan.

As an occasional wannabe-hippie this should offend me, but it's pretty much spot on. :matte-motes-big-grin:
