🤔 Depends on how you use Skool Evidently I'm the only non-spam member with high community memberships Mostly because I rarely leave any I join and I've been highly active since February 2024 Plus I've started a lot of communities I may want to reactivate in the future Now, because I have membership in a lot of communities, I have been asked to keep it under 500 That's fine for me as an individual member joining communities I'm interested in visiting occasionally, both active and archived Not so fine for the combined number of communities I'm enjoying, building, supporting, or using as mockup examples So I've been picking through the list, culling many archived spaces, leaving communities i joined to support without being highly engaged or active It's really quiet a headache for me though evidently incredibly helpful for the Skool team I guess I'll set up an additional profile for activities and memberships in communities I'm doing setup/building/support as there will be many with the upcoming local business hubs What are your thoughts on Skool setting this community limit to help prevent spam?
