Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 27/07/2026Yes. Especially on an individual level too. Amazing how nice people are, until the going gets tough. It can feel like Jekyll and Hyde. 130
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 27/07/2026YouTube and/or podcasts might be my only exception to this. 000
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 27/07/2026I think I'm pretty close to achieving peak social. Like, I can't be bothered any more. Started being playful on my own blog: rosiesherry.com And I write several times a week on rosie.land And even more often in the MoTaverse (www.ministryoftesting.com) Other places just don't bring me the joy.rosiesherry.com🌊 Rosie SherryRosie Sherry's little place on the internet. 220

Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 04/06/2026I went away with a feeling that there are realities to face, there is no hype in this conversation, yet it is also an exciting time to think and build for the future of quality. 220
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 04/06/2026We covered a lot. From the quality map. To augmented quality. And how our roles could change. Personally, I geeked out a bit on the idea of knowledge graphs in BearQ and how that can really help us explore products better. 200
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 04/06/2026I had a really good chat with Dan Faulkner, CEO of SmartBear, on the latest Into the MoTaverse podcast. Going into the conversation, I was curious to see how a CEO thinks about leading with quality and AI whilst also having the responsibility of building a new product in the software testing space. 141

Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 21/05/2026I’m uncomfortable about where community is heading. So I thought I’d name what how I’m building. In an age of AI slop and lack of care. The pressure to be everywhere is real. Instead, I build for Community Here. Right here. Right now. No messing about. rosie.land/posts/the-co...rosie.landThe Community Here Era. It's here.Building community, right here, right now. 030
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 21/05/2026Learning is social. Through conversation. And human systems. Through knowledge sharing. And spreading of ideas. Through invitations. To create positive learning systems. Through algorithms built for curiosity. Not ones of control and oppression. Community is the path to social learning. 063
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 19/05/2026🌶️ A few years from now, so many communities are going to regret taking the community everywhere approach. I’m going all in on community here. With care. Consideration. And layers of care. 050

Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 28/04/2026The more we build the MoTaverse the more I believe… rosie.land/posts/its-ti...rosie.landIt's time for community businesses to rise up.No need for new models, just the ones that already exist, but for the better good of humanity. 030
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 28/04/2026We implemented a thing in the MoTaverse that limits the amount of reactions you can do/give in a certain period of time. Healthy, protective boundaries. It feels good! 020
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 19/04/2026“A lot of people talk about community in the online world, but I actually don’t think they use it right, because community is having a sense of belonging, and you get that by shared experiences,” - Dan Clancy, Twitch CEO www.semafor.com/article/04/1...semafor.comTwitch CEO says its edge over YouTube, TikTok comes from ‘community’“A lot of people talk about community in the online world, but I actually don’t think they use it right,” Twitch CEO Dan Clancy said at Semafor World Economy. 120

Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 24/03/2026I think we can change that, at least in the MoTaverse, we don’t allow that, and it’s easy enough to spot. 010
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 23/03/2026It’s unbelievable how much time is wasted trying to find speakers for events. It should be easy. The systems we create should support the processes. The processes should be designed into platforms. And it should be an enjoyable experience. 291
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 16/03/2026Something like that! and it feels all kind of weird Ohanion is part of the Digg efforts. Shrug. 010
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 16/03/2026Digg is dead. They blamed the bots. But really it’s a lack of understanding about community. It got hit hard with bots, resorted to layoffs and it has 'temporarily closed doors'. I have a hunch that the temporary shutdown will turn into a permanent one, time will tell. Do better, I say. 201

Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 02/03/2026We’ve been building ‘meetup’ within the MoTaverse. And it’s aaaahhh-mazing. And MoTivating. Highly recommend! 020
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 01/03/2026In the age of AI it makes sense to double down on community. You will need it. In modern community, it’s not just about making friends, it’s also about participating to benefit from the wider network effect. People will come to save you, but they have to know that you exist. Don’t be shy. 0163

Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 25/02/2026Innovation isn't always about brand new ideas. Sometimes it's about combining things into one more efficient system. In some senses, my community work is nothing new. In other ways, it's wow, this is beautiful and amazing...why is no one else doing this? 030
Rosie Sherry @rosiesherry.com · 20/01/20262026 is a good year to do a Product Hunt launch of the MoTaverse. Would you believe that I've never launched my own thing there?
